Goodbye Just For Now

Hi Guys, thought i just might let you know in advance.

Alice, myself and our dog, Teeko, (well, he is not really a dog), a toy poodle, plus car, and caravan will be boarding the Spirit of Tasmania, and touring around for two weeks.

We have never been there, and are very excited, the van is packed, and we leave Sunday morning at 9am from Station Pier in Melbourne, so have to leave Ballarat at about 6am, but that is all cool, I have been up later than that imaging.

Ok, Ok no clapping and big sighs of relief, I WILL BE BACK

Leon

Hi Leon,
Have a great trip, be very keen to hear how it all goes as my wife and I have been talking about doing the same thing.
We also have another member of the family that goes everywhere with us, a little old Beagle called Bonnie.

Regards
Trevor

Hmmm ... I was thinking the same thing as Jen and immediately started wondering what had happened to prompt the decision. Happily I see it is not forever ...

Hope you have a great time. Tassie is on my "must see" list and will get there in a few years.


All the best,

Les D

Travel safely and enjoy, Leon.

And lots of reports, please. My wife and I hope to cram Tasmania into a week at the end of May. We'll need your "best of" stories to help us!

Leon, Glad to see you spell as well as me. Goodbuy - Goodbye.

Have a great trip. It is a wonderful and very different part of Australia. Watch out for the wildlife and I don't mean Tasmanians and no jumping fences to pick the poppies.

Leon, PM your mobile number and Anna and I will try and catch up with you and Alice when you arrive here.

We catch the ferry home on the 28th after spending 3 wonderful months here.
