Hi there!! Attention all Aussies.......the plans for our trip to Australia are coming along nicely. Bart and I have booked our flights and hotels (and a few days with our dear friends!) and will be in your beautiful country in just 6 weeks!! Can you believe it's almost here already?! We can't wait to come visit and are now in the process of booking our excursions and planning what we'll be doing with our time while we're there. Lots of you suggested doing the bridge climb when in Sydney, so I think we're going to book that one for sure. We're just hoping for the U.S. dollar to improve slightly, against the Aussie dollar before we book it. Hee. That's what you do when you're married to a number head! :)
Anyway, so many of you dearies have mentioned trying to meet us when we come over and honestly, we'd LOVE to meet as many of you as we can. With our time being somewhat limited, we're thinking that we'd like to plan 3 different informal gatherings at local coffee shops.....one gathering in each of the 3 different parts of the country that we'll be visiting while we're there. We've come up with a tentative plan at this point, and thought it best to go ahead and share those plans with you in the hopes that you could let us know if you might be able to come or not. Obviously, if no one has any interest in coming to meet us, we'll do something else with our time......I'm sure we can go visit some kangaroos or something! Haha! So, here's what we're thinking so far....
Sydney - Wed. 3/17/10 7:00pm - Starbucks (525 George St.)
Broadbeach - Sun. 3/21/10 3:00pm - Three Beans (13/90 Surf Parade, Broadbeach 4218)
Cairns - Mon. 3/22/10 7:00pm - Bang Espresso (14 Spence St.)
If you think you might be interested in stopping by at one of these gatherings, just leave me a comment and let me know which one you'd be at and we'll go from there. Once we get closer to our trip, I'll post again to let you know what the final plan is for these get-togethers but we figured we'd try and give you as much notice as we could. :)
I hope we get to meet lots of you while we're there!! What fun that will be!
Have a goodie, Peeps!
