Congratulations Kath!!! That's awesome news and it sounds like the work will be interesting. So when do you start?

Hi CarolineM, how you are you!

Tamzo and Paul you are almost there!!! YAY!!! Hey Paul, what were the name of those luggage locks you recommended??

Hi Elle, sorry I don't have an answer on the customs costs, have been slack with the shipping cause I am not going to do mine until I am working over there. I have sent stuff via air mail though 10kg cost me approx $145. It's expensive but saves me worrying about excess baggage costs.

Hey Aussiegal...I think Durango is somewhere near where I am going to be isn't it???

Being a little chocolate connoiseur I can definitely say that in USA chocolate the food regs allow the use of less cocoa than here in Oz and that is what makes the difference. Sad but true! Sigh.... But OMG Teddy Grahams are so much nicer than our Tiny Teddies...seriously. I could eat a whole box!

Lyndel, the name of the locks are called " T.S.A. LOCKS.

They are usually combination locks and easy enough,

for customs/immigration to open them.. saves using keys eh!!

You can buy them at any reputable Luggage place.

They are expensive.. around $20.00 per lock but are,

acceptable by most airlines and customs as well.

Cheers

Paul

[CarolineM 0]

welll...for his one year anni his sister and BIL were in town so we went to a fancy dinner with my parents. It was nice. I just can't believe it's been over a year now. Seems like just YESTERDAY we were compiling all of our evidence for our interview.

See - it'll go that fast for everyone I just know it.

Everything's good - not much news

Hey!

We stayed at a bed and breakfast off the Great Ocean road at Airey's Inlet for our wedding and it was wonderful. The beauty there is just amazing! I wonder if we were around the same place. I simply loved it there and I hope that David and I will be going back there sometime.

Thanks Kath! I gave David the messages regarding bringing medicine and stuff that he would think he may need with him. I am also going to have him bring a suitcase of stuff so we have less to transport later.

YAY - 25 MORE DAYS UNTIL I TOUCH MY HUSBAND AGAIN!!!!
