| 28th September 2007 Jack | Typical Olympic Air - From: The Crapiest Day of Our Tour - EVER! Olympic Airlines also screwed us around by cancelling our flight out of Crete due to "weather conditions". Surprisingly all Aegean Air flights operated OK throughout the day. Meant we had to overnight in London near Heathrow at horrendous prices. If going to Greece, don't fly Olympic ! Sorry guys, perhaps warning you before you left might have prevented some grief. P.S. All well here and I am now a father !!! |

| 4th September 2007 Alex | Harry Potter Bridge - From: Just Drive Hi Guys, The photo titled 'Bridge Ahead' taken in the countryside looks exactly like the one in the Harry Potter movie where Ron & Harry are flying in the car!!! Do you know if it's the same bridge? I bet the Gondola ride was a bit more authentic in Venice than in Adelaide ;) I would be worried about the tide rising above the level of my front door and flooding my house! A |
| 4th September 2007 Alex | Cable Cars - From: The Hills are Alive Hi Chelle, I'm surprised that you enjoyed the cable cars so much - I thought you were scared of rides/heights? The beautiful scenery must have distracted you ;) A |

| 27th July 2007 Tamra | i know what you mean about spiral stairs..... - From: LOST BLOG ENTRY Aren't spiral stairs horrible. I'm sure that there will be many more spirals in your trip around Europe. I cant believe how many there are there but once at the top they do provide you with amazing views, then getting back down is another fun story. Love reading your blogs... keep up the great work Miss you guys TUTS |
| 26th July 2007 Heidi | Hello there Old Chaps - From: LOST BLOG ENTRY Hi guys I completely agree with your 'loves' and 'hates' list from the States. And isn't it a huge culture shock going from the States to the UK. So proud of you guys, you are fitting so much into this trip that not only is it your trip of a lifetime, it is starting to feel like mine too ... because I am seeing sooo many things that I missed out on. Keep up the great blogging, but don't burn yourselves out. Stay safe Heidi |
| 26th July 2007 Mum Hall | - From: Rain Rain Go Away Your commentary is sounding more and more like the Amazing Race! |
| 24th July 2007 Mum Hall | - From: Imagine... Hi, Just touching base. I'm really enjoying your descriptions and information. This will make a lovely personal history book for your future generations to read. Amber has to move house this weekend. What a lot of work and I've got the flu - not a good combination. Hope you are both keeping well. Up the Vitamin C. England is completely under water. Take your snorkels with you. Love Mum |
| 20th July 2007 Mum | - From: Made It Glad to hear you made it safely to next leg. You 'll need a good rest as I'm sure there'll be plenty to see in New York.Look out for that hole in the road that the gas pipe explosion made. God Bless Mum |
| 19th July 2007 Mum | - From: Viva Las Vegas Hi Michelle and Israel. Love the photos. Hopefully New York will be just as much fun. You'll probably appreciate the weather being cooler, though Dad says it can get pretty hot up there too. Pity you're not visiting Grandma , she is only an hour and a half from Niagra falls. Oh well you have to leave something for next time. Talk to you later. Love mUm |
| 15th July 2007 Simone | The memories! - From: B.I.G I can't believe Stephen and I were there nearly 4 years ago, it hasn't changed a bit. Glad we didn't have the heat though. Enjoy!!! |
| 15th July 2007 Mark | Post cards will no longer be the same - From: People In Motion Hello guys I never found time to log-in at work, but Jack got me interested with a demo last Thursday. Glad to see you are having a ball over there and not missing your work mates too much. It also looks a lot warmer than the winter weather we are freezing in. Forecast for Rocky is 1 deg tonight. We are enjoying the usual beautiful, sunny winter days though. Regards Mark P |
| 15th July 2007 Mum | Happy AND Fit - From: People In Motion Hi, Sounds you are continuing to make the most of what the area has to offer. Those redwoods are amazing aren't they? Sounds like the wine wasn't too bad either. You both look so happy and carefree . Its great to see. And it sounds like you're getting enough exercise . I'm off to the trade fair and staying overnight in Brissy tomorrow with Karen. The business is doing great. Love Mum |
| 14th July 2007 alan (dad) | travel experts - From: People In Motion Loving your daily stories, i think you two could definitely be working for Lonely Planet, it is fantastic to see you both enjoying the trip so much, taking in all the culture, seeing all walks of life from another countries view point, and you definitely both have a talent for the funny side of life. (Bill Bryson eat your heart out) Well the sun is actually out in beautiful Belfast , just ready to take Dad out , then i am going round to Brother David's for an afternoon of male bonding ( having a few bets on the horses, usually do it at least once on my trip) Can't wait to see you both in person soon and show you some of Belfast, hope the weather picks up, but until your next epiphany (hows that english teacher) love to you both from the Belfast man, for us |

| 13th July 2007 Tam and Sam | hello - From: Tram Cars and Zaltar I guess im a little slow but i only just realised that i could add a comment to your travel blog. Deeerrrr. Well im loving your detailed events of what has happened so far. You are so organised - the photos are great to understand where you've been and what you've seen. Can't believe we have 10 weeks of school left - im ready to chuck it all in. Been a crappy week. That means you have about 11 more weeks of travelling. Hope your coping with your limited wardrobe. Its been bloody freezing here at home. You'll be glad your in a warmer part of the world. Miss you guys XXO Sam and Tam |

| 12th July 2007 Mum | - From: Tram Cars and Zaltar Hi , Good to see your getting some nice fresh fruit. Got to keep the energy levels up. Great pictures. Have Fun. Love Mum |
| 11th July 2007 anonymous | - From: D Day hi Guys, It sounds like it was a major feat just to get to San Fran. I'm sure it was worth it. We didn't stop there when we were in the States. Its not until your there that you realise how much bigger than AUstralia it really is. You're certainly creating some beautiful memories. And you'll be travel experts before too long. I know who's brain I'll be picking when we do our round the world trip. Love you both Mum |
| 11th July 2007 Simone | Charming - From: D Day Loved the photos. I also love the homes that line the streets of San Fran, as I said I love this place and would have no problems living there. Hope you don't experience any earthquakes while you are there! The building you named the coathanger are usually referred to as the flat iron. This building looks exactly the same as the one in New York. Enjoy Alcatraz and the smelly seals on Pier 39! Missing you Simone xoxox |
| 11th July 2007 Heidi | Looks like the movies - From: D Day Hey Guys Your images of San Fran look just like scenes from the movies. I can't believe the smog there though, I thought you might have some smog free days after LA. You are going to be sooo fit after all this globetrekking. On the work front, Dimitri showed up on the LEFTs list on todays notices. I will quiz Matti tomorrow for the full story. Catch ya in the next update ... Love Heidi |
| 9th July 2007 Simone | Green with Envy - From: Downtown and Back Hi Globetrotters, I am getting greener with every blog you are making but I can't wait until the next one arrives. I just wish I was there as well enjoying all the fun that you two are having seeing the sights. I am certainly looking forward to seeing the pics from San Fran as that was my favourite place when we toured the east coast of America, I hope you enjoy it us much as I did. I am also looking forward to seeing the photos of the Grand Canyon when you get there along with New York and London and ....I could keep on going. First day of school today and it wasn't too bad, had a fairly relaxing day as the program that Sally had organised for the staff didn't eventuate and we ended up having most of the day for personal planning. We don't have a fill in Michelle yet ... he didn't end up coming so we are having to wait till next week when someone from Bli Bli will take over. Should be fun for the relief teacher for four days...we are hoping for Jean. The weather has once again turned cold here and it is bloody freezing at school. Still waiting for Allan to put the heater in. Anyway will let you get back to your galavanting around the globe. Take care. Love you lots Simone and The Ding Dongs (Stephen and Emma)xoxox |
| 9th July 2007 Heidi | Great Pics - From: Cloudy one moment, sunny the next. Hi Michelle and Izzy You are a much better photographer than me ... your pics are amazing! We also got stung with the 'free continential brekkies'. We made a habit of asking when we checked in so we knew what to expect the next morning because some places actually did have great hot brekkies. Another tip ... nick as much fruit as you can from the fruit basket and bread from the bread basket... great for saving money on morning and afternoon teas (smashed banana on bread was my personal favourite ...lol..) Anyhoo, you probably aren't to the broke end of the trip yet, so may not have to resort to this tactic ... and you are lugging a couple of always starving teenagers either .... lol... but keep it in mind. On the work front .... pupil free day went well ... having no pupils is always a good thing ...lol... But haven't found out who is doing your job yet, thought I would save that little surprise for tomorrow (Tues). Well better keep going, can't wait for the next entry. Stay safe Love Heidi |
| 9th July 2007 Kylie | Hockey - From: Cloudy one moment, sunny the next. We drew both games on weekend but we still missed you heaps. I am enjoying reading you Journal so keep it up. |
| 8th July 2007 Mum | - From: Cloudy one moment, sunny the next. Hi , They weren't human skulls were they? The pictures are coming out great.The second Hollywood sign was better. I could have told you that all you get for a Continental breakfast was a donut and coffee. I don't know what continent they are meaning. USA I guess. Its Monday morning here and a lovely clear and crisp day on the mountain. We picked up Amber and Eden yesterday evening . You will be a new uncle and aunt before you get back. Maybe you can stop in before you leave Brisbane. Thats not for months . Did you hear about the Aussie who won millions at Los Vegas? I heard it was $10,000 just to get in. Talk to you later Love Mum |
| 8th July 2007 Jack | Great blogs !!! - From: Cloudy one moment, sunny the next. Terrific stuff guys ! I looked at it for the first time this morning and am very impressed. Keep up the good work and travel safely. |

| 5th July 2007 Linese & Jerry | Have a great Trip! - From: Touch Down Just to sat that we're looking forward to reading your blog. Have a wonderful time and travel safely... Love Linese and Jerry xx |
| 4th July 2007 Mummy | G'day from Eyre! - From: Touch Down Great to hear arrived ok in USA. Dad cannot believe you didn't enjoy the 777 he thinks it's a great plane, very long. I was always worried it would never get it's tail off the ground. The rellies here tell us queues will be horrendous at Disney World, so hopefully you're all prepared with food, hats, ipods and plenty of fluids(Have to do the mother thing). They have all been both Disneyland and Disneyworld here, so it'll be interesting hearing your comments. David is taking us out to morning tea today at a "swanky"(Belfast for posh) Hotel. The main highlight of our trip so far is the food. I don't know a country that has so many breads, potato, soda, treacle, malt, wheaten, crunchy top so on and so on...and this is pre Brumbies!! Margaret and family are off to Turkey on mass(there's 10 all up going), temperatures there last week were up to 47degrees!! So we have to mind there other bungalow this week. It's still pouring rain here with local flooding, wettest June in 50years. So hopefully it will have rained itself out by the time you guys hit UK. Well that's all for now, thought I would get the comment thing going, have a great (independance) day, Keep Safe...Love Mummy and Daddy |
