On August 7, 2007, I left Calgary, on my own, and flew to LA, and then to Sydney, AUS, and then to Adeliade, AUS. This is where my good friends David, Katherine, Naida and Brenden Ast are currently living. I stayed there for a total of 16 days, before I headed home. This is a compilation of what I did and my pictures. Enjoy!!!
Blogs I Read and Virtual Places I Go
Special thanks:
Special thank you to David, Katherine, Naida and Brenden for taking care of me while in Australia. I could not have asked for better hosts. I even loved the hockey!! Miss you already!!!
And a thank you to Dave (Turtleguy) for helping me with the blog......although if someone would have told me to do this before I left, I wouldn't be up all night putting in posts!!! LOL!!!!
Thank you also to Mom, Dad and Pamela for taking care of Adam, Megan, and Rocky. I really doubt they missed me, because of all your love.
And I can't forget my chauffeurs to and from the airport....Carrie, Amber and JF.
Hugs and kisses to everyone!!
