HI there Trudi
When did this all happen??? I had no idea you were going to Europe.
Have a great time!
I guess this means our weekend at Coogee won't be happening - or at
least, not with you. (Sue, Shaz???)
See you when you get back - or on your blog, in the mean time.
Take care
Patricia
Hey trudi wudi!!
That picture on your blog looks amazing!!
Tell me, whats the best way for me to keep in touch with you while you are over here?? Your mobiles?? I think i will come and meet you guys at the airport and accompany you to your holtel - help with your bags. Might make it less chaotic for you (not to mention less confusing).
Anyway, let me know. Cant wait to see you guys. Might even cross paths at the airport!
Lots of love

Awwww Trudes....we would love to catch up with you guys before you leave for a dinner....but know you'll probably be flat out getting organised. Let us know if you do have a free night, maybe we could do that yummy thai in crows nest. Hope you guys are well and getting excited! xoxoxoxoxoox
What a great planning, we would never be able to do that. It will be the trip of your life! We had a great time in Australia too in 2002 but it was a bit stressful to plan everything on the spot.
See you the 12th of July....
