Photo taken in Hawaii - 3 weeks ago
Hi All! Just thought I'd tell you about something we're looking forward to today! When we went on our second Europe trip a couple of years ago, we met this really great couple named John & Lynn from Australia, who were on the same bus tour as us. When you're on a bus tour traveling around Europe, you spend a lot of time with the people on your bus :) and I must say that we got along famously with John & Lynn and were glad to be able to spend so much time with them for those 12 days.
Since then, we've kept in touch with our Aussie friends and recently when we were in Hawaii, we got to see them again! (see photo above) They were just starting their vacation in Hawaii for a few days and were then coming to the US to travel across our country for several weeks. The day that our cruise ended and we got off the ship in Honolulu, they were staying in a hotel in Honolulu so we spent the day together before catching our flight home. We had such a fun day just relaxing and soaking up every last bit of Hawaii that we could and when we said goodbye, we knew it wouldn't be for long....
You see, part of John & Lynn's travels across the US will bring them right here to Kansas where they'll get to stay with us for 4 nights!! They're flying in today, we'll pick them up at the airport this afternoon and we'll get to listen to them talk with their super cool Australian accents all weekend long! Hahaha! We can hardly wait. We have some fun things planned and since this is their first trip to the US, there are a few things that they were excited about including a "real Major League Baseball game" and a "real American cookout"! Hee. We also have to take them for some authentic Kansas City BBQ -- not to be missed if you come visit. We definitely have a lot of really good food here, so we've got our meals planned out for the next few days (including a cookout!) and beyond that, we're planning to show them some sights and let them rest up a bit. They will have been traveling for about 4 weeks by the time they get to us, and they'll be heading back home to Australia soon after they leave our house so I'm sure a little R&R will be in order.
I'll definitely be toting the Nikon around this weekend so I'll be sure and share pictures with you of our adventures with the Aussies! And of course, you can follow along with us on Twitter too. Until then, I thought it'd be fun to do a giveaway! How about a Scattered Showers stamp set??!
All you have to do to win is leave a comment on this post! You can say hi to the Aussies (John & Lynn) ;) or tell me your plans for the weekend or whatever floats your boat! You know I just love hearing from you! I'll draw one (1) random winner to receive a Scattered Showers stamp set.
Only one entry per person, please. Contest ends Sunday, May 31 at 9pm CST.
Have a great day, Peeps!!
