Wayne and Lorraine's Travel Blog

Here at Qantas Club ….The authorities did not want me to leave!!!! ….(that would be Bundy and Chardy of course) ….said our goodbyes (with tear in eye)….no doubt Georgia will be a cm taller and Bundy will be a kilo lighter when we return ….but will miss them dearly ….(old sook I am)….. Wayne is currenty refilling my Champers and orange juice …..the excited Mr Right is all ready to go and enjoy the next month …. it is a great feeling to be finally on our way ……shame about the next 20 plus hours though ….. next post from the other side of the dateline ….so I will write to you “yesterday”…..see ya …Mrs Always Right  XXXXX

Well, well, well ….I awoke this morning to a non melodious version of ..”24 Hours from (not Tulsa, but) Toronto”…and the usual “Leaving on a Jet Plane” .. and so the day has gone on ..Pam & Ted, Mum, Georgia, Tash, Ian and a host of phone calls have filled our last day of preparation. Bundy and Chardy are bathed and ready, lawns mowed and of course manicure done (nails that is ) although Mr Right did “manicure” the lawns. Outgoing passenger cards are filled in, and if we have forgotten anything , then we will buy it over there as the exchange is great. Am getting excited now ..so will sign off from the OZ based keyboard until next time ….probably a Canadian QWERTY… thanks everyone for the good wishes …keep checking the blog…Love Mrs Always Right

I’m suffering from information bloat: post here? Post on Facebook? Post on http://www.murrumba.net/canada? Well … in all those places 🙂 I thought I’d add a map of where we’re going to this blog as well as giving a link to the webpage that has our actual itinerary. Now it’s 14 days and counting!

So it is early morning, Saturday and my biggest job this weekend is keeping Mr Right calm. It will be a quick trip to travel agent for remaining documents and then all about the preparations for Brisbane needs while we are away. Puppies, chookies, inlaws, mother! (You can put these 4 in order of importance!) Canadian Dollars are already in the wallet waiting to be spent!…will keep you updated …..Mrs Always Right

I just want to test uploading some photos, these are old ones from our Italy trip back in 2007.

17 days until we fly out! We’ll be pulling the suitcases out this weekend and putting them in the front room. Then, it’s time to start sorting, packing and organising what we are going to take overseas. We’ll be in Canada and the US for nearly four weeks, so we’ll need a few changes of clothes (yes, an excuse for Lorraine to go out and buy new clothes!!). I also need to make enough meals for Bundy and Chardy for the time we’re away; that means buying the chicken and beef mince from our local produce store, cooking up the vegies, added a few handfuls of bran and then packing it all up in little freezer bags. We don’t expect Mum or Dad (or Lorraine’s Mum) to prepare the food for our dogs. Lots of other prep too; Lorraine getting nails and hair done, me getting a hair cut, writing lists for Mum and Dad …. oh, and lets fit work in there somewhere as well!

Speaking of which .. back to it 🙂
