SHANE IS HUNGRY

Food, food, food
I was hungry at the time when looking at all of that delicious food, but am hungrier now after reading all of the detailed descriptions of what was on offer! It was great to be able to join the Travelblog get-together from afar.

SHANE IS HUNGRY

Food, food, food
As Travelblog is starting a Food Forum...only fair to share that we eat amazingly at TB Get-Togethers. And yes...the Basque pies were sensational. Thanks for going to the trouble of attending by Skype from Axum, Ethiopia...our guests were blown away...and the reception was very clear!

Where to start?
I don't know where to start thanking you Dave for the incredibly wonderful weekend you and your beautiful Denise gave us. It was my absolute pleasure to also spend time talking photography at the marina. I know there are some amazing concert photos heading TB's way in the future. Thank you so much Dancing Ones - miss you guys heaps. Bugger it, let's do this again!

Bugger it, let's do this again!
Thanks go to you Jo for coming from NZ specially for our gig...I'm sure your sister was thrilled to see you too. It was our pleasure to share our home with you and show you around. Yep...Bugger it, let's do this again!

So honored to have been a part of it :)
Oh you noticed I was chatting the captain up did you? Cannot thank you enough and to be part of this amazing blog and amazing community of travelers is 'awesome'. Have never felt so welcome, bring on the next get together! This line summed up what you and Denise managed to do for us the whole weekend - It really did explode with colour. "When you plan a surprise it really helps if it comes with a plain wrapping and the insides explode with colour" - Dancing Dave

It really did explode with colour
Thanks Cindy for travelling so far to be part of a fun long weekend...joining people you had never met before. What a great time...and I really enjoyed introducing you...a rock chick from way back...with new music that blew you away. A bit like travelling...isn't it?
9th August 2013

What fun!
Looks like you all had such fun! Would be great to meet up with other TB'ers! The characters that are visible in each one's blog must be tenfold in person!
9th August 2013

What fun!
Thanks Alma. Busiest long weekend in my life...the TB community is amazing. And the company, activities, food and weather could not have been better.
9th August 2013

Great hosting!
Well what a memorable weekend, and the definitive tale of the weekend! Thanks again for being such fantastic hosts. I had a blast!
9th August 2013

Great hosting!
Always a pleasure to have you join us Rachael...your enthusism and smile lifts any room. No need to ask how we top this one...next time will sort itself out.

Fantastic
We wish we had been there. Some day we will make it to one of these fabulous gatherings. Wow, and all that amazing food. Terrific that Shane made an appearance. TBer's have endless energy and curiosity. Thanks for sharing.
9th August 2013

Fantastic
Never ceases to amaze me what a fantastic lot are the Travelblog community...where else could you get-together with strangers and hit it off immediately? Hope this year's Sydney gig encourages others to make TB get-togethers a memorable event. Couldn't have been more pleased how it all came together.

WHO IS HUNTING WHO?

Hunting who?
Great stuff
9th August 2013

I really must know......
Cindy claims to be a fellow pirate... Now, I really do need to know whether she swilled down the requisite bottle of rum that is made available to all budding seafarers once the sun has most firmly positioned itself over the yardarm, or did she most adamantly, refuse to take one for the team? As Cindy knows, I hold her in high esteem and as a likeminded pirate, I just like to keep myself apprised of her antics ;) Glad to hear that you all had a great time like only fellow Travel Bloggers can :)
9th August 2013

I really must know......
whether the photo of the ghost was you? Wouldn't be surprised if it was Nick...checking to make sure we were great hosts like you were in Vietnam. As to Cindy's pirating...for her to reply. The once rock chick is now embracing West African blues and gypsy swing...still diving...definitely embracing TB Get-Togethers...this being her first.

RANDOM BREATH TEST

Random Breath Test
What's the legal limit for chocolate in your system and still operate a vehicle? Just as well we got a taxi, I think we would have all failed that test!! Probably why the cops hang around that part of town......

RANDOM BREATH TEST

Random Breath Test
As I recall you got the shot of the actual test. The shots of Cindy, Denise & you in chocolate liquid fantasy tell it all

Crosslands...
Thanks for the memories! Next time I'll fork over the airfare...sorry I missed such a great TB get together.
10th August 2013

Crosslands...
Would have been great to have you there Bob. As you can see from the pics it was high tide at Crosslands as it was morning when I took Jo & Cindy, while it was low tide when I took you guys. You'll be pleased to know I took you much further along the river though.

T'was a good time...
...Can't add wonderful photos,though, cos I didn't take any (stupid!). Was too carried away with the moment. We can do Boules better than you. (Oh no you can't.) Let's do it again later in the year at Budgewoi.
11th August 2013

T'was a good time...
T'was indeed. Thanks for inspiring the event to happen John. Looking forward to a John & Sylvia event. I caught a stingray in Lake Budgewoi one night some years back...it rose above the water with zillions of little fish flashing in the moonlight like a silver rain firework...great spot you have up there.

Brilliant Blast!
The Dancing Duo have triumphed again! You two are the best party organizers ever! So fun to read of another great TBer gathering and with great details on adventure, food and music. Happy partying!

Brilliant Blast!
No point in just commenting Tara...you'll have to make sure you're at the next one...Now that's what I call a party!!!
