Haven't been on here in ages.  Hi everybody!

Well a couple of things to pass along...

I am now officially an Aussie.  Did the citizenship ceremony on Wed night!  Woo Hoo.

And now that I am an Aussie, it looks as if we will be moving back to the USA!  Dean has a job interview at the end of the month in Houston and fingers crossed he gets the job!   Then we will try to get there asap.  His immigration paperwork is already in so we are in a waiting game at the moment.

Exciting stuff.  Hope you all are well.

Finally!  First time in ages.  Steve said it has rained every day he has been here!  But today was beautiful.  A bit on the cool side but nice.

Met up at Stickybeaks Cafe at Kings Park in Perth.  Lucky enough to meet veejay (Vicky) and her husband Roy and August88 (Lynette) came as well. 

Vicky and Roy were there first and were wise enough to look on the profiles to see what people looked like.  They were there first, followed by Dean, Harrison, and Me, then Lynette shortly after.  Then the guest of honor arrived!  Yay Steve. 

He was as lovely as I imagined he would be!  Would have to be!  We sat around and had coffees and chatted, then moved onto lunch and chatted.  Very nice morning/afternoon. 

Thanks Steve for being brave enough to hang out with the hot Minti Chicks in Perth!

So this completes the photos from the day...finally!

To meet up with Steve.  Will take pics and share later!

Ok, so I know I need to put up my Hawaii photos.  Sorry I have been so terribly slack.

But the real reason I am on here is to remind you I am meeting Mr Janice Povey (aka Steve) on Sat.  Weather is going to be crappy, but we will have fun.

Hi all, I am home and freezing my butt off!  I have started to upload on to facebook and will be uploading minti soon. 

Holiday was awesome.  I would recommend Hawaii to anyone.  You can get a serene tropical island or a hopping city (on a tropical island).  I loved both places.  Can't wait to return to another island.

Happy blogging (soon)

Hard to believe our first week is over!  But it is.

We have had a great time and really enjoyed ourselves.  Maui is just gorgeous.

We did the Road to Hana, Molokini, snorkled Kapalua Bay, took a drive down the coast to Wialea.  And had plenty of beach and pool time.

Harrison has been really good.  Not getting the kind of sleep he should (late nights and early mornings) but hasn't been unwell since the first day here. 

We are sad to leave but excited about Honolulu too. 

Take care all...

Oh-at the moment, we have almost  700 photos from our trip.  We got my dad and brothers photos too!

Howdy folks!

Having an awesome time.  Maui is gorgeous!

Harrison is doing great and having so much fun.  We did a 10 hr bus ride around the island and he was a champ.  Going on a 5 hour boat/snorkling trip to Molokini tomorrow.  So excited.

Catch up soon.

Quick update.  We made it!  Woo hoo.

Arrived in Maui at 0800 in time for 4th of July.  Great to see my dad.  Harrison warmed to him straight away. 

Went to the pool and the beach yesterday.  Had naps in the afternoon.  Went into Lahaina for dinner (it was packed).  Got lucky and got seated quickly after telling us it would be a 2 hour wait.  Went to Bubba Gumps  and it was yummy!  We were on the waterfront and were able to see the fireworks when they were shot off right in front of us!  It was so good.  Brought tears to my eye to be in the USA for the 4th again! 

Harrison unfortunately was really sick.  He had a fever and fell asleep in the car on the way.  got some tylenol and when he woke up I got a dose in him.  He started to feel better after a while and was up late, then he slept pretty well.  Has been pretty good today.  Persistant cough and runny nose but no fever.

Gotta run, off to a Luau tonight!

Flight cancelled last night.  Stayed in Sydney.  Should arrive Honolulu at 0100-hotel overnight then early flight into maui.  Harrison has been vomiting since 0600 this morning.  Not how this holiday was meant to start!

Hubby is a Qantas Club member and with all of his work travels over the year, he is Platinum status.  With that he gets to use the first club.  So I am sitting in the first club with Harrison, Dean, Mel and Cam.  Drinking nice wine, eating yummy chili salt crab waiting for our flight to Honolulu!  So very excited.  Yay
