3 weeks to go...

So this time in 3 weeks we'll be about to touch down in Vancouver....! We're both getting well excited especially since Julie's visa finally came thru last Monday. We're both really looking forward to having a few days off when we get there and spending some time together - working 7 days a week each is making us virtual ships in the nite! Jules just got back from a week in NZ saying bye to everyone. It was great to have a few days with the gang but as always was sad to leave especially this time. Jesse's mum is down in a couple of weeks and it'll be nice to see her before we go.


We've had a great response from everyone about the blog and the comments and emails of good wishes have been awesome - thanks so much:)

It just occured to me that some of you have only met one of us and not the other half so i thought i'd better show you some photos...

This is us after one too many on the way back from Matt and Sam's wedding in Dec 2006.





This was taken not long after we met when Jesse snuck down to Hobart to see me when I was away at a conference. We had a great weekend with some of my work mates and it was probably the weekend that really got us hooked on each other (and bratwurst from the Salamanca Markets) :)

Getting Started....


So I'm making the most of a nice quiet night at work to get our blog up and going. Five weeks to go till were off on our adventure!
We're both working like crazy at the moment to boost our funds so we can have SOO much fun in Vancouver.
We went to Brisbane last week so I could see Jesse's home town and meet his mates and stuff which was cool - it was nice to have 5 days off together, a rarity at the moment. I'm off to NZ this week to see everyone before we go which will be great to catch up but hard to leave as always.
So we've set up the blog to keep you all updated on what we're up to once we hit Vancouver and beyond. We would love to hear from you all and you'll be able to leave us messages on the blog as well. We are both a bit too slack with email so we thought this might be a fun way to keep you all up to date instead :)
