Interesting Reading. Look forward to these blogs and have a little chuckle at Mark trying not to loose it with being stitched up i can see him now.It makes good reading for us here at Til 'B',think you should put it all together and write a book when you get back.

"Oxygen thieves" What an amazing insult. I love it. I'm going to steal it if you don't mind. Since we live in Ho Chi Minh there will definitely be opportunities to use it!

Hi!
Sorry, about missing out on your leaving party this week. Was kind of busy! ;). Anyway.. first of all congrats on the new apartment. Must feel good to finally have a home for yourself! And I'm assuming you are on your way now to Asia? I wish you all the best of luck, happiness and joy on your travels.

ps: I was looking to give you some good traveling advice, but since you're experienced travelers, this is the best I could think off:
...If they tell you to put your head between your knees on crash landings. You think you're going to kiss your ass good-bye...

Good Luck to you both Thanks for the very informative e-mail Mark, Dad loved your comments and had a tear in his eye (more than one) . We hope you both have a lovely few months and who knows we may one day pop over to see you with a stop off at Singapore (could not manage the journey to Aus in one go) and maybe Auntie Linda will join us. Hope you had a good time in Bali. Take care.
We are very happy for you both. We hope this brings you all of the joy you both deserve. Are you still in Bali or back in Ausi land?
Will you be staying on at the B & B for a while or are you looking elsewere?
Terry
Yay! I read your post with mixed feelings, Mark.
Firstly, so many congratulations to you both for getting PR in this fabulous country. There is nothing easy about uprooting yourselves from the country of your birth, your family and friends and embarking on a massive adventure with the person you love. That on its own is a massive acheivement but coupled withthe paperwork, red tape, logistics etc, it is made ten times harder than it needs to be.
You've both completed the necessary 'challenges' in order to be awarded PR and it's paid off.
From a selfish standpoint, I seee all this stertching before us! I do view this comment, however, with the same derision I view the comments of people who say 'Oh you're so LUCKY! I wish we could do that....' Erm. You can. It's just not going to fall into your lap. Just make the effort.
Thank you for your advice and support - both on this blog and via email. Although our situation is slightly different from yours, I would love to be able to come back to you in 18 months and be sharing the same happy news with you!
Now get back to your poolside cocktail, don't let me keep you.....
Bites You get the allergy to bites from your dad. Every mozzi within 30 yds zooms on to him and bites. Glad to hear you are having a great life thats what its all about. We miss you and I cantr wait to see you in November. Stay safe and Love you xxx
Hi Mark,
Had a listen to Julia Stone. I'll still stick with the 60's. I am off to a gig next Sunday at Cliffs Pavilion. PJ Proby.Searchers.Gerry & Pacemakers. You can laugh. Love the markets at Fremantle. Calm down and don't get too stressed with the Aussies..x
our daughter I love reading your blogs they always bring a smile to my face. Then I call your dad and tell him what you are doing. We are very proud of you and what you have achieved in such a short time. Being brought up with 2 brothers has certainly given you a fighting spirit. I know you miss all the finer things in life and having a home of your own but it will come. You will hjave to play poker with Simon he has poker games in his spare room as I understand so you have something in common lol. We are so excited to know that we will be seeing you and especially just before christmas which is always a tough time for us with our family so far away. Love you sweetheart and cant wait to see you. Take care mum and dad xxx
Great sharing! Hi, really great to see you adventure! and thanks for sharing, that I will use your plan to go to Perth and Albany trip this Octobre.
Just one question, you said on Day 1, you travelled 10 minutes from Australind to Leeuwin- Naturaliste National Park. But from Google map, I saw that the distance is quite far, so could it be another National Park? We may wanna stay nearby too in campervan. Thanks! mei_83@yahoo.co.uk
i miss you Hello babies,
Everything sounds like it's going so well for you, wonderful, so very proud of you both. Just wanted to say I miss you, loads and love you more xxx
Miss You
We miss you too. Saw your dad last night. Party and Linda and Dennis Lade's. Drank too much stayed up to late. Slept in this morning. Still no job in sight. Oh well. Sounds like you both are doing well. Enjoy the experience. Love you Bob and Pat
Very Very Interesting
Sounds like you guys are really exploring! Give you a lot of credit!! But I must say you
are really getting a good education. I wish I were younger, I would find everything
very adventureous. Good way to explore the world! Some day you might write a
book about your journey and I'll bet it would be a best seller! Just have fun and
enjoy every moment! Love you Guys!! --- Phyllis
