I'm married to Steve and have one daughter, Sascha, who is 28 and is married to Brad, and Tim, 29, is my stepson and Amy, 26, is my stepdaughter. We live in Brisbane and I am a Court Reporter. I lived in Wellington, New Zealand when I was 17 for 18 months and Canberra for six years, where Sascha was born. We love travelling and have been cruising around the islands of Hawaii and Fanning Island, Kiribati and stayed at Rarotonga and Aitutaki in the Cook Islands twice. Our next trip is self-drive around Italy for two weeks and 15 days cruise the Rhine and the Danube from Budapest to Amsterdam... full info
