SWPA's affiliation secretary [daughter Charise ] is off on the journey of a life-time today. She leave Heathrow this afternoon for Brisbane, Australia, where she will be staying with my cousin Geoff and his family before moving on to New Zealand after Christmas.
I have asked her to post on the forum to keep in touch, and I will add to it as well as I email my cousin frequently. Bit worried this morning as Bankok airport is closed due to rioting, but I don't think she is going to stop over there. Arrival in Brisbane will be Friday morning in the sun!
Hope you will enjoy reading her "exploits" over there, and I for one found it surreal last night as she texted her cousin Jessie about what to wear when they go out on Saturday night --- in Brisbane.

Well I'm here, although my luggage is still in New Zealand After over 30 hours of flying that made me cry, the bloke at the baggage counter didn't know what had hit him. Just had lunch out and am now going to mum's cousins for a few days (until my luggage turns up!!!) then off to the Barrier Reef to learn how to dive!!!!! Will update you all soon ;D ;D

She does not need an excuse to go on a shopping trip! Poor bloke on the baggage counter - I know what she is like after a late night out let alone 30 sleepless hours on a plane!
