hi di,

can't get past the kodi nom de plume!!!! well, we have made our big move to gorgeous ettalong beach here on our central coast of new south wales and survived without any real dramas - only one broken plate (dropped it whilst packing!). so far so good and john is settling in well (i'm keeping him too busy to miss work). we are back on line of course so hope to hear from you before you head off on your next adventure.

kind regards

di and john

HI DI AND JOHN!

HOW GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU....WAS WONDERING HOW YOUR MOVE WAS GOING.....AND IF YOU HAD SURVIVED!!

AM TOTALY TUCKERED OUT....MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND AND STAFF WENT TO OTTAWA FOR THE WEEKEND TO ATTEND A CHIROPRACTIC CONFERENCE....AND LET ME TELL YOU THAT AN 18MONTH, 3 YEAR OLD, 5 YEAR OLD AND A 7 YEAR OLD AND RUN YOU RAGGED!!! BUT GUESS WHAT I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE! ,

I'M HAVING THE TEN OTHER CRUISERS OVER ON FRIDAY, FOR DRINKS AND A BITE....JUST TO GO OVER DETAILS AND SHARE IDEAS.....ALL ARE STARTING TO GET EXCITED....ONLY 28 SLEEPS LEFT....TIME IS STARTING TO FLY!

AM TRYING TO GET THINGS IN ORDER FOR WINTER, SINCE WE DON'T COME BACK UNTIL NOVEMBER THE 2ND, CLOSED THE SWIMMING POOL LAST WEEK, SO THAT IS A BIG CHORE DONE.

BYE FOR NOW,
HUGS TO YOU BOTH,
KODI

hi babe,

what a grandma!!!! here i am with just my 15 month old for the weekend and i'm barely standing! you make me feel ashamed so i am definitely going to try a visit from all three at once on my own. (and then i'm going shopping and leaving john in charge! tee hee)
the one thing i know is that you will not be lonely or alone in any way on this cruise you are doing - ten companions will see to that!!
i am just about to put my name down for the new brochures from insight for next summer but i still don't think we will be doing anything too spectacular unless there is some new tour we simply cannot resist. will be thinking of you - please let us know how the adventure went on your return.

love for now

john and di

HI JOHN AND DI,

HOW DID YOUR BABYSITTING WEEKEND GO? AREN'T THE BABES JUST BEAUTIFUL....YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THEY WILL DO OR SAY. AND THEY REALLY DO KEEP YOU 0N YOUR TOES!!!

WELL IF THE LITTLE GET TOGETHER IS ANY MEASURE OF THE TRIP....WE ARE ALL GOING TO HAVE A BALL, THAT NIGHT MOST OF THEM COULD HAVE FLOWN WITHOUT A PLANE !!!! ONLY HAVE 14 SLEEPS LEFT...JUST GOT CABIN ASSIGNMENT...ALSO BOOKED ONE OF THE OPTIONALS THAT HAD LIMITED SEATS....MYSELF AND 4 OTHERS ARE DOING THE RUINS OF POMPEII.....HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE POMPEII..THE OTHER OPTIONALS WILL BE DECIDED AT SEA .

I ALSO REGISTERED FOR THE 2005 INSIGHT BOOKS, BUT HAVE NOT GOT ANY YET...DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE SENT OUT.

ALMOST DONE WITH THE OUTSIDE WORK, WE HAD A HEAVY FROST TWO NIGHTS AGO...THE LEAVES ARE TURNING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SHADES OF REDS AND YELLOWS, A REALLY LOVELY TIME OF YEAR.

WELL CHUKA, I GUESS THAT'S ALL FOR NOW....HAVE STARTED TO GET THINGS TOGETHER, READY FOR PACKING...BEST TO YOU BOTH..AND KEEP WELL.

HUGS,
KODI ,

hi again,

first of all - what on earth is "chuka"? a canadianism i suspect! and don't you just wish you could see what clare had to say that was deleted. curiosity killed the cat and i'm a real kitty!!!!!
we went to pompei again after we left you and i love the place so really hope you enjoy your excursion. we saw all different buildings this time - it is such a huge site. you have a ball girl and don't forget to report in on your return.

love

di and john
