Finally! It had been a long wait having booked the flight to London in September, to Sweden in October and Greece in December. I had been in Adelaide for a month before we set off and Tomas only a week. Here we wait for check in for our Royal Brunei flight to London. In Adelaide I mainly cycled to and from the local library to scan photos spanning back decades. An effort in trying to stream line my life and get rid of stuff. Doing this brought back loads of memories some good and some not so good so. It was good preparation for this trip. Try to only make good memories and remember them by special photos. We will not be able to do this indefinitely. It will be a special time and we will ... read more

Hi everyone, well we're at Adelaide airport waiting for a flight back to Melbourne. Had a great weekend with Chris and Rosie. Yesterday we met up with Eugene and Reiner and headed down to the harbour where we walked to Glenelg which is by the coast. There were a couple getting married on the beach, getting blown away from the look of it ! We had lunch, looked round the shops, met up with the lads who had found there way into the 'pokies' again !

Stu said none of this had been built when he last came here 16 years ago. We then headed back to ... read more

Well, like any good trip indicator, it all starts with a stellar breakfast and a hilarious cab ride! Teresa and I were lucky enough to start the day with a delicious breakfast cooked by Heather as I jammed my clothes into the suitcase. From there we headed to get Gazz and catch a cab to the airport. In total there are four of us and two large suitcases. The cab pulls up and low and behold he has crap in his trunk and only room for one suitcase. We stand there all looking at each other wondering how this is all going to play out. The comment was along the lines of, “Well I guess we put a suitcase on our lap?” and the cabbie’s response, “Well if you are all planning on going to the ... read more

I can’t exactly remember what I did the weekend prior to my birthday but I am sure it included dinner with S&K on the Friday and I am sure I headed to Glenelg with V for lunch on the Saturday. We had a nice walk along the coast from her place to Glenelg, which I had not done before and it is absolutely beautiful. Lots of history to be seen here and V proved to be a great tour guide! We hit a new restaurant on Jetty Road and I can’t remember what it was called. We had a great lunch, a bottle of wine, and a quick look in the shops before heading back to her place. On Sunday I sat on the beach, caught up with friends from home, and did some school work ... read more
