last two home!

Post by Alan Mclennan »

Well the last two happy, but very tired Slicksters have made it home from what has been a wonderful trip to your fine land!, I thought it was only a tribute to the event, that on the last day everyone was visibly upset to say good bye, I know I was!. Lyn & I would like to thank everyone there for being so warm and welcoming to us which only added to our trip!

Lyn & Alan,
Honey, If I say I`ll fix something I will, there`s no need to remind me every 6 months!!

It was a pleasure to have met the two of you, and look forward to another time we can get together. Only about 102 weeks left till SS4, see you there.

Hope you had a relaxing trip back.

:clap: Glad you two made it home ok. What a trip you had. Any idea what the mileage figures are on it? I really wish now I hadn't left so bloomin early on Sunday and stuck around to say by to all of you after breakfast. I feel like I missed out on something looking back at it. Awesome that you guys are already talking about next time. Well be looking forward to seeing you all again. I feel like my family has grown really big all of a sudden, and can't wait to see them again. TR

Gary, I just did a quick tally on the distance and it reads something like this,
Shuttle bus, home to airport and back, 130km/ 80mls

flying, Sydney to LAX to Chicago, Phoenix to LAX to Sydney, 31,400km/ 19,504mls

Drive on wrong side of road, 5,152km/ 3,200mls ( fear factor of 8 not expressed in this last distance totals )

have not yet worked out how many gallons we used ! but have dockets.

We have told kids that we are going to SS4 :D
