we made it!

After enduring the 17 hours of plane flight we are a little groggy, but some iced coffee in Brisbane solved that. We are safe, and enjoying ourselves. We have come along a little mishap of losing our luggage, but the ticket agents assured us that we would have them by tomorrow afternoon. More later….

Have you had fine Australian dining experience yet? What is the weather like. What kind of car did you get and can you send pictures.. Still have your phone cards and need to know where to send them… Jason and i are fine… hope Erin is able to wear her boots..Tell Lucy to sing for dinner…This blog is great..Give each other hugs and watch out for the Kangaroo’s..Charlotte

    I’m so glad to hear that you all have made it safely to Australia!! It must be so exciting!! Gene – you have been greatly missed at work – everytime I walk back to my desk, I am reminded that you are gone and I am sitting back there all by myself. We have had a rough couple of days at work – there never seems to be a lack of it – work that is. Anyway, I hope you all are having a blast and I hope your luggage turns up soon!!!

    I have really enjoyed reading your blog entries. I plan on visiting often.

    Hey, I lost my luggage the first time I went to England. Just think of it this way. You don’t have to carry your own luggage around for a while. It’s a little gift from the airlines.

    love, lisa
