Sydney!

As you see we are leaving ....

See you on Thursday in Auckland

Blotch is coming along ....

Two days to fly away & some of Blotch's Friends-Fur-Ever urged me to take him along. Fingers cross Blotch behaves in the airplane!

You reckon a dog can fly to Chile????

That's another story but better to get into action!

Spanish class Ole, ole, ole!

Hola!

Lunes 28 Febrero 2011: Spanish class at Little Bay Community Centre.

The theme for the day: VIAJES = traveling.
Everybody was very excited about my trip - especially my friend Mandy!
Mandy lives around the corner and together we go to the gym, to the movies, to the park, to the beach & shopping!

Big spender

Oops.

So our Spanish lessons will continue through this blog, WOW!

Chaoooo

Three days for packing

Love Sunday mornings ....

Lion & Dolly Trolley are our cars.
(A V-8 Holden Statement & a A-160 Mercedes Benz)

Texas & Manchitas are our fair dinkum mates.

Manchitas is a Foxie Terrier & Texas is a German Collier.  Both of them are pawrrific. (they have pushed us to survive the odds & also they helped me to write Blotch!
Just check: www.blotchthedog.com)

But leaving our beloved companions alone is tough.

Lucky Bruce has a mate named Bruce.
Today, Bruce (Bruce's mate, our dear friend Bruce Burns, yes like the old actor) came to our place.

Manchitas & Texas kissed Bruce right on his nose.

Sydney Sunday afternoon washing the cars & cuddling Manchitas & Texas & reading about Machu Pichu ..... " Una cerveza, por favor."
Muchas gracias!

Who is who

I love Sydney to the core of my bones & yet I always dream flying to other places .... but cross my heart Australia is HOME!

Lucky me, Bruce is a well organiser. Together we've travelled around Australia in ECURB!

Ecurb is his 1200cc BMW cruiser motorbike. (Discover why Ecurb & Bruce are so connected... switch words!)   

At the moment,  Ecurb is dusty & waiting for a run - a serious run that we've promised HER to do as soon as we come back from our BIG adventure around South America. 

Now, Bruce is organising our trip & me too! 

You reckon Bruce & I could cross the Andes in a rented motorbike???

Saying bye bye ....

Last night I said bye bye to Garry & Liz. My partner, Bruce is Garry's cousin and Garry's son is getting married to Fernanda, en Uruguay!

Liz & Garry are so excited to meet Matthew's fiancee. And so are we.

So we all are going to meet in Montevideo NEXT month.

First, Bruce & I will fly on Thursday 3 March to Santiago. Have some fun with Mum, her dog Pelusa & the rest of the family.
The following day we'll catch up with old friends for a beer or two ....
I can hardly wait for  OUR BIG ADVENTURE!
