The beginning....

In and around Perth, Australia

Thursday, October 23 - Perth

Ok ok.. so we haven't left yet, but this time next week we wont be home anymore.  I have too much to do before I leave but Suzanne is my life saver and we're working our way through the 'list'  (just for you Adam :) )

This is the first thing I've written and I really just wanted to type a paragraph of nonsense to test the blog and see how it looks.. and to be able to give everyone a link of what to add to your 'favourites' so you can tune in when you have some spare time !

Talk to you soon.

Hey Leis This is the exact make and model of our RV - I had to google to get it, our pic is off line - I was a bit of a dufus and didn't grab a pic when I bought it off the bay, so you'll have to wait until we get to Arizona and I'll take some pics and load them up so you can all have a sticky. :)

Hey there Travelling Diva, Keep tuning in. We're leaving in the morning, in 14 hours time. I've had to repack.. bought a few bits and 'poices' in Melbourne. Hung out at the new Doncaster Shopping Centre - Can you believe they charge for parking ! Cheeky, it'll hit Perth soon.. well maybe not, they'll have to start with Sunday trading first ! :) Have visited everyone that matters and had some great company and wine and now I'm getting a little nervous. I really do feel like Dame Nellie Melba with all of these farewells !
