Hey Meyer, Sorry it has taken so long to say hi. We have just gotten alot of sleep and relaxation since you have been gone we almost forgot about you. Just kidding. Wish we were there with you but we will catch up soon enough. We are going to cabo for some lunch so we will drink a few for you, not that you haven't already drank a few for us. I do have to tell you I don't miss those eight o'clock phone calls on sunday morning. oh by the way, leah wanted me to give you kevin's email [email protected]

John:

Could you also bring me back a koala or kangaroo-or both--LOL!

Have a Great Time-hey here's an idea for ya'--put a sticker on yourself daily identifying your tour group or people you are with so when you get sloppy drunk they can find someone to take you home or pick you up from jail!!!! (LMAO-I kill me!)

Good morning John, Loved your pictures. By the way, your picture of the bridge reminds me of the story
told to me by one of my friends in England. Gina and David were there two years ago visiting their son
who was working in Sydney with a London company. They decided they would take a trip to the bridge
and join the tour that walks across it. Only thing is, you have to take a breathalizer test beforehand. Unfortunately, Gina failed it and they had to wait to the next day! She will never live that down.
Am off to England tomorrow, so I will have to catch up when I get back. Keep having fun and
take care. Love you......your old aunt Elizabeth

WOW so glad to have heard from you, had no idea you were in Australia. You have always known how to "take-it-easy", and always the know the best "location". Keep having a great time and we will be checking out your adventures. Love

John Keep throwing back the BEER and have fun!!!!

john..sure looks and sounds like you are having a great time - how were you able to drag yourself away from fiji? it looks like heaven..or my version of heaven, anyway. i am really enjoying the pictures and the messages. EVERYONE misses you lots - i can imagine how much you miss marshall...think how glad the two of you will be to see each other again.....stay safe and party hard for all of us!

dude, I had no idea you were doing this trip.....why wasn't I invited? sounds like you are having a blast. loved to read everyone's notes and to hear all that you have been doing. btw, I heard that the Australian word for face is arse....maybe you can try it the next time you are in a bar.....you know, say that some girl's arse looks very nice today.....but you may want to try it out on a girl with a large boyfriend first, because I am not sure of the pronunciation.
take care.

Hey Johnnykins!

What are you up to now? Long time no hear--did you stop by to see me at work? My co-worker said someone named John came by to see me. I was out on my regular lengthy lunch--who has time to work when there's so much shopping to be done????

Have a great time and let me know when you get back!

Angie
