CONGRATULATIONS
I never doubted for one moment you wouldn't do it you were so well prepared and determined. I have loved every moment of the blogs and photos it is going to be very sad not to have them to read. Well I hope my Son Michael and wife Christine can come to wave you in as they have lived in Sydney for the past 20 years and he works for Quantas.
