  • We are “Ok to go”……

    Well, we are up, showered, dressed, fed and packed, so, I guess that means we are ready to
    go!
    Freddys sister is picking us up and taking us to Ballarat Airport, from there we take the
    shuttle bus to the airport.
    A few hours milling around in lines while we check in, and get on board, short hop and
    “lunch” in Sydney, then the fun really starts….
    Makes me wish I had an MP3 player that took real batteries like the kids, I was planing on
    making a “C” cell recharger for mine, but 2 weeks on my back meant that I did not get time.
    So, I know I only have about 5 hours music, I have to save it for when we need it….I suppose
    I can listen to the kids collection, some of its ok……Blah, we will suffer though it.

    Hope your all well, thinking of yas (Well, some of yas!)

    Ben, Freddy, Amy, and Terry (and lonely Cassie the dog)

    P.S BenL, no, we are not stopping, best I can do is wave as we go over, looking forward to
    catching up when we get back, I wana hear what you have been up and what you are doing
    now, you will love to hear that we only just this week got a *real* Opto to web page interface
    going!
    JoeB, thanks for a great night Saturday night!
    MattB thanks for reminding me about the spark plug boots, had totally forgot!
    TerryD can you please email me Ruths email address please. Thanks.


  • pre trip post

    Ok, this is how its going to work….. I send an email, and it gets posted on my blog here automatically….. nice and easy for me, and everyone gets the same thing, means I can post from any system and don’t need to memorize a bunch of email addresses, and its here for all to read and its a nice reminder of our trips for us when we get home.
    Alls you have to do, is check in from time to time and see what’s new.
    Im not promising something every day, far from it I suspect (not the least because I will not have email access every day, yeah, believe it!), but I hope to let you all know what we are up to as much as I can.
    No photos, they will come later (when I have my camera connected to a computer and stuff).

    Thanks, and remember, we leave on the 22nd.

    Feel free to leave a comment if you like, they only show up after I approve them, so be nice!

    Chow!


  • blog by email

    This is a test of the blog via email. I will be using this to keep family and friends informed
    while we are on the road. Its nice and easy for me, I just send an email, and it ends up here
    in my blog. I cant send pictures, but that’s not such a big deal as I can include them when I
    have web browser access (and can hook my camera to the computer to get the photos off
    it!).
    I hope that you will check back from time to time, not sure that I will keep it up todate all that
    much, but its better than nothing?

    Ben.
