Can't wait to talk to you, in person, about your "Australian Adventure"!!! Looks like you have seen everything you could possibly see, in the areas that you've visited!! What a wonderful way to spend your "Christmas Break"!!! Have a great last day in Australia and a good flight back north, to Long Beach, tomorrow. Love, Martha (:

Beth--loved seeing the pictures of your trip to the Parliament Building, etc., and, of course, of the huge family you were able to spend Christmas with--what a wonderful family, to include you in their festivities!!! Hope you're still having great weather there. Looking forward to more pictures soon.... Love, Me (:

Have so loved seeing all of your pictures and reading your comments/blog. I made our Christmas Eve dinner a day early today, as Scott is leaving to fly back up to Mukilteo tomorrow, so we did it a day early. Will make our typical Christmas morning brunch tomorrow morning, so that he'll have a full stomach, when he gets on the airplane. It's been great, having him home here for 4 days. Beth--Have a wonderful Christmas. Know you will, with your Australian friends. I loved seeing the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" tea/luncheon. What a fun addition to the rest of your sightseeing adventures!!! Love you, "Aunt" Martha

Hi Beth- I'm loving all the photos you've taken. I can't wait to see more of your adventures today :) Merry Christmas hon :)
Martha
Beth--Have a great rest of your trip. Haven't been on here until today, as I've had bronchitis, and have been pretty much in bed for 2 days!! Am feeling better now that I went to the doctor and have antibiotics, etc. Hopefully, will be feeling a lot better by late tonight (19th), when Scott flies in from Seattle. He's only here until Christmas Eve afternoon, but, we're just so excited to have him back here, to help us celebrate Christmas. It's been a year, since he's been home.
Keep posting those pictures. Looks like you've had some pretty good weather. I know about the downpours--Jerry and I got stuck in one, when we were visiting the Sydney Arboretum (sp.?), and had to run back to the "hop on/hop off" bus, in the pouring rain!! We were soaked, by the time the bus finally picked us up, but, you just learn to deal with it, and always, wear a hat/poncho/rain jacket/carry an umbrella!!
Looking forward to seeing your next "blog" and pictures.... G'Day (:.
