Due to airline weight restrictions we are only allowed 23kg of luggage each - have they never seen the amount of shoes & home comforts a girl needs for a month away from home??? Tony can make do with one pair of shorts, a t shirt & a change of underwear, but Debs - get real!!!

To make matters worse to take anything over the limit the airline want $50 a ...

... or I will no doubt be sick (again)!

I will add some photo's when I arrive on the isle of Tasmania, and I will write again once I am over the jet lag.

Goodbye for now my lovely friends and family.. see you all in 6 months or so!! Love Julia x x x

... out of his version) As far as I understand it, Doug had become a little bored in the establishment we were in and had decided to go for one of his usual drunken meanderings and somewhere along the way got a little lost, or perhaps just a little sidetracked. Maybe it was a pretty face or perhaps just a particularly inviting looking pub, whatever the case Dougie wound up, somewhere else and got in a few more drinks. Why texting the address to him failed to work we may never know, but the ...

... a amiga que foi comigo, Ana, queria muito passar o dia la. Tenho que dizer que nao foi dos dias mais divertidos. Passamos o dia andando de um lado para o outro, sem saber para onde ir, sem ver nada que chamasse a atencao e tambem sem saber onde iamos ficar por esta noite. Quando finalmente comecamos a procurar um lugar para passar a noite ja estava no final da tarde, mas a sorte nao estava conosco. Por causa de um maldito jogo do ...

... a visit to the Beatles museum, the Beatles being perhaps considered Liverpool's biggest call to fame. Inside can be found a great history of the group's formation and rise to stardom. It also hosts a collection of Beatles memorabilia - including John Lennon's famed white piano and gold glasses. Tomorrow morning I depart for London again and then on to see Bournemouth and Bath. It seems I escape just before ...

Looking back, I don't feel like I had a holiday - I feel more like I had an 'experience' ha ha! but it was great - even though reading through some of the blog entires you might not have thought so, I had a really great time.

That sounded awkward to him.
