First things first. If there are any horse out there reading this blog HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! We woke up in recovery mode today. The good sleep helped us all recover from the long flights. Dianne and Brian are still recovering from the the flu, so the extra time was a blessing. Brian is determined to get rid of his, and we have decided that more medicinal purpose alcohol is needed, which we will rectify tonight. I got up early to get on the computer to solve ou...

We arrived in Paris at about 2.30pm. The A380 was fantastic, and both Brian and Dianne and Cheryl and I had seats 1 row from the front of the plane. I have never been up that end of the plane before, so now I know what it is like to be in first class! The plane is so good to fly on, and once again Qatar were simply fantastic with their service. As we were going through customs, we met some more people from Perth, Bunbury and Geraldton. Amazing, we even had fri...

Except I wouldn't be there to tell the story. :( Cheryl and I have never been to DOHA, so like Dubai it makes Perth's terminal's look very second rate. They are ...

Well, this is it. The day it all happens. Cheryl & I came to Perth last night, so we could finish off all our business work by early afternoon. Cheryl has now dropped off my beautiful dog Cassidy to our daughter in law to Tori who is going to look after her for the next 5 weeks. (Thanks Tori, I know she will love stay over, and she is in good hands). Brian & Dianne arrived late this afternoon. The break will do them wonders, they are both suffering from ...

Cheryl and I reluctantly set off from Kalbarri this morning. We decided to stop at Hutt River Provence on the way through. I was last there in 1978. The story of Hutt River is amazing in its own right, and in typical Australian fashion the underdog won. It was great reading the ATO assessments on show. They are classed as Non Residents. However, the country is a bit third world and run down. We left Hutt River and went onto Northampton, and through to Geraldton....
