On the 22nd of January 2008 I said goodbye to the golden shores of Western Australia and set off on an epic journey. A journey that has taken me to Dubai, Canada, Alaska, South Korea and Japan. I have experienced -30C snow storms, built 6 foot tall snowmen, taught French, taught English, eaten poutine and pupa (both equally as disgusting), taken Korean lessons and now.... 412 days later... I'm coming home!
It has been nearly two years since Cindy left WA and I know she is equally as excited about catching up with the special friends she made during her exchange. Between you and me, I think she is looking forward to some good old Vegemite toast too, not that she will admit it!
We will land on Australian soil at 1:50am Sunday the 8th of March. Ma and Pa have agreed to collect our weary souls from the airport and take us back to my little sisters place for some rest and relaxation. A few hours later we will get up with the sun and try to squeeze a months worth of activities into just one week.
Advance Australia Fair!

Well, yes everyone, we did pick them up from the airport and are we tired!!!!!! But hey, what a great week we are having and it is just great to have Brett and Cindy home (albeit) for a short time. Brett has already pigged out on fish and chips, lasange, vegemite and carlton mid beers. Not to mention an adrenalin drive in the old red suzuki with Cindy hanging on the "bejeezus bar" as we careered down to the beach for a warm swim on arguably one of the best days weather we have had this season. A few days to go, we will all have to play hard!!!!!
