Flash is HERE!!!

Flash arrived yesterday afternoon and still doesn't seem real that she is actually here in Australia. She's never flown on a plane before so for her to fly half way around the world is pretty big. There were some glitches on the way here. We were standing there waiting for her bags to come through the conveyor belt and one load after the other there were no signs of her bags. Oh no, after coming this far her bags were lost or something. After a call to the baggage people, it turned out that her bags were some how left somewhere else. I didn't fully understand or listen to the guy. All I cared about was that she got all her bags (and mine from my family).

Having her here is great. It almost feels like we're back in Waterloo again. Like good old times. We brought in the New Year together last year and we're doing it again this year. How cool is that?

So far we've checked out the city and already she's done a lot of walking. I kinda forgot that she had just spent two days traveling and decided to show her the city. She said that she wasn't tired so I took that as lets go for a 4-5 hour walk around the city. That's like my usual day. My bad. I guess I should've warned her that we were going to do a lot of that. But than again, she knows me better than that so she knew what she was getting herself into.

Tomorrow we are heading down south with Becks to bring in the New Year and see what we can discover down there. Then when we get back Flash and I will rent some wheels and head up north. It'll be a crash course of Western Australia. People say you should take a few weeks to do either the south or the north but we plan on doing both in half that time. We can do it. As many of you know once I get into my driving zone, there's no stopping unless if it's requested. If that's not enough we are going to fly to Sydney on the same day that we come back from up north. Come on you can't come to Australia and not venture around Sydney. It's all about covering the essentials here. It'll be great. I'll make sure Flash is nice and tired for the flight back to good old 'loo. She'll be fit to walk a marathon.

Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and ate lots of yummy food. Umm, turkey...

Happy New Year and talk to you all in a few weeks.
