can't wait we can't wait to have you guys back here. we're really excited to hear about everything that you've experienced down under. the gifts aren't really all that important as long as everybody gets back safely and in good health. hope you all have a nice flight back, we're sure everybody's gonna be exhausted by then.
Many Thanks! Thank you so much for passing along all the compliments you've received on the kids! Thank you SO much for "sharing" the experience with us and keeping us updated on their activities! I'm sure some of the reports back haven't been as detailed as your reports. ha Mine included. We still continue to receive feedback that this is just a blast from Briana and that she's having so much fun that she sort of misses home, but is still really having a great time! Can't wait to see all of you! Hope it's a "fast and easy" trip home! Cynthia Culmo
I'm Sharon, Katrina's mom. I finally spoke to her this morning. They are having a great time. She is loving lots of the Australian treats and is bringing some home for us to try. A good time to call is around 8 AM our time. They are in their rooms for the night by then (10:30 PM Australia time). If you haven't heard from your child, mine is having trouble using the calling card. Even though it is supposed to be for international use, it is very hard to connect.
What a journey! Thanks for the updates Nichole. We have heard from our daughter, Taylor, a few times. She is having an "amazing" time and is really enjoying being in the Northern Territory. Things are much more remote there and she really feels now like she is in Australia. She is enjoying everything and everyone in the group, they have all been great. I can't wait to see photos of all the adventures they have experienced!
Hi Everyone,
I am Nicholas' mom. He has called me twice (2:30, and 4:30am), but I sit right up because I know that it couldn't be anyone but him. I am really enjoying reading the updates of the trip and am really grateful that Nicholas is able to have this experience. I can't wait to hear his version of this experience and to read his journal of events. I am praying for your safety and safe return.
Thanks for the updates I'm Danielle, Matt's mom. I just wanted to thank everyone for the updates. It's great to hear such good news while the kids are gone. Unfortunately boys, or at least mine, get too wrapped up in the experience to call home (as I expected) so it's great to hear from everyone.
Thanks Nichole Hey Nichole, Thanks for the wonderful update!! Sounds awesome!!
I figured you weren't able to have internet access to be able to blog. Hug Liz and the kids for me.
Got Word from Australia Anita Hohenstein here. My husband and I received a call this morning from our daughter, Emily. Okay - it was at 4:30 a.m., but that's okay. We told her to call ANYTIME. She said the flight was great (lots of amenities on Quantas) and that Sydney was beautiful. They'd been to the Olympic venue, had taken pictures on the podium, and had been swimming in the pool there. Said they were having a great time. My e-mail address, if you'd like to share any information you may have or receive along the way is ahohen@sbcglobal.net. G'Day!
