September 2012 roll call

[PrincessInOz]

Safe travels to everyone travelling this week. Here's to Sunny skies, gentle breezes and an earlier than expected arrival!

Safe travels Liz! When we're at the airport on Friday I'll keep an eye peeled for the lady with the gin and tonic!

So many of you traveling this week. It sure is hard being left behind so you all better post updates regularly

Well, maybe I should say three nights of tossing and turning
I honestly cannot remember the last full night of sleep I have had in the last couple of weeks, I'd forgotten the dreaded pre-holiday insomnia. I just want to be at Sydney airport on Friday with a gin and tonic in one hand and boarding passes in the other.

To all of you leaving in the next few days, I hope you have the time of your lives. Congratulations on making it through the past few months of manic planning - your families are all very lucky to have you do all the grunt work so they can enjoy the amazing trips you have organised. Now it's our turn to enjoy!

If anyone is around DL from 29/9 to 10/10 and you see a 5ft 2 plumpish Aussie lady with blonde short hair running away from her kids, it will probably be me! I will probably be needing a bit of alone time by then Be kind, tell the kids you didn't see where I went and I promise to buy you a churro!

Safe travels, Liz

I'll be there from 4-6 Oct - I'll look out for you Liz and I promise not to tell the kids!! SSSHhhhhhhhh...!!!

Have a great time!!

Unfortunately not. DD got a new full arm cast - she is quite impressed because it has blue dog paw prints all over it.

My sister facebooked me saying I'm never to leave the country again, my niece fell off the monkey bars, hit her nose on a step and fractured her wrist
Poor little thing I hope there's no permanent damage to her nose

WOW, great trip planned! Would you mind letting me know how FW works out for your family of five as that's an option for my own family of five on any future trip? Also, I'm fascinated to know how you are taking teenagers over at this time of year as I presume school is still in session in Oz like it is here? Now that our eldest is 14, I had presumed we were now restricted to travelling in Dec/Jan if we want to go longer than 2 weeks so seeing what you are doing is giving me hope!!

Have a fantastic trip
