Where in the World...?
10th Sep 2007 - 25th Sep 2007
Australia 07

Ok - the title may be a little misleading... actually the first port of call was Escondido, in the US of A, to see Daddy Dick.

Highlights

* Seeing the light come into Dad's eyes when presented with a bottle of Whisky from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society

* Dinner with Lisa W (who has moved into the suburb next to my dad - how small is this world??!!), KL (who, once again, surpassed herself in the chef department - having an ex-restaurant owner as a step-mum is something I can recommend) and Dad

* Family time in Canberra - degustation (after peer pressure, even Mum got involved), finally having outdoor furniture and being able to use it ON GRASS (for those not in the know, our 'home improvements' have been going for 20 years - I kid not).

* Having Kaylah call me 'Aunty Ali' (Kirst and Ritchy - your kids are fantastic)

* Holding my cousin's baby - Lily - for the first time... and her not crying. 'Look what we made' indeed Nick!

* Spending an entire day having cups of tea and chatting with Jenny.

Lowlights

* Dad dumping me on the train to LA airport where I was promptly accosted by a guy whose brain had been turned to mush by too much time in the sun, who, 5 minutes into the conversation said 'So, you ever been part of the mile-high club? I've not, but I have had sex in a train toilet...' I kid not... but then again, he did give me beer (and I did think, hey, this is how one ends up coming to and finding their organs missing)

* Falling asleep on the plane, waking up on take up, announcing 'oh, we here, excellent' and then trying to regain some of my diginty from the people around me.
