Last full week...

Well, all of a sudden it's racing up and I'm pedaling like crazy trying to keep up. There are a million little issues like making sure that my phone will roam worldwide (it seems that it will, at a price though), organising clothes that Erith and I can throw in the dryer with turning them into Barbie outfits, clearing out the fridge, meeting with Erith's teacher, etc. Of course, work is flat out at the moment - this is day two of my long weekend spent in the office trying to get caught up. At least it hasn't bothered me that the weather has been so terrible - I've only noticed en route to the coffee shop next door as I've been inside the rest of the time.

Slowly things are dropping into place though. Little pieces if the puzzle about to to get from one place to another and where to stay when we get there are coming together nicely, at least in part due to the efforts and advice of friends and family. I keep getting told general things that help us out without limiting our options, like how to get somewhere and how much it will cost rather than where to stay when we get there. It means that we can stay fluid, but when it comes time to do something we can draw on some piece of information to help us out. It's very helpful and suits the temperament of the trip very nicely.

I have to give Al Pasutto a big thumbs up, especially after grizzling about having to rebook flights to get to the golf tournament in Canada. He offered to pick us up in Calgary and offered us a room at the Capri Centre (http://www.capricentre.com/), but most importantly, he put me in his foursome for the tournament. Onya Ali!

Give Al a big hug from me when you see him - he certainly is the best! Joanie

I can't wait for you two to visit Canada! Living in Alberta we don't get to family very often, and I can imagine it is worse in Australia.

Nevaeh finally fits the outfit that Erith picked picked out for her when she was born! lol, she is still very small...

I guess the best thing about owning my own business is we can take the time to have some fun with you guys when you get here!

A few of Erith's friends came last night with little going away presents and one belated birthday present, a disguise kit, which she wore to the door when her dad came to pick her up this morning! I've no doubt the photo will appear here soon!

Erith got up when the alarm went off at 5:50am, got dressed in the clothes we had laid out last night, brushed her hair and teeth and came back to bed as it was a freezing and windy morning. We giggled, in many different accents, until it was time to don shoes and disguise and wait at the door.

Happy holiday little one!
