Okay Terri, I think William and Sophia would love to get a postcard! Do you have my addy? I think you do, but let me know if you need it again.

thanks hon, and bon voyage...have a fantastic time!!!!!!!!!! I'm so envious...never been before and would love to go :mrgreen:

No, I don't have it...PM it to me??

So close but yet so far! ;-)

You have to go into the quilting shops... leave your wallet at home and just go in for a look. There will be heaps of inspiration and ideas.

:D

Whereabouts does your friend live?

I tried for NZ, but got outvoted.
I am going to look in the shops. Will bring the credit card that doesn't have alot of money on it. lol

Ooooh! Have a lovely time Terri!!! Two of my favorite things to do, after the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary (& hope you DO get to got behind the scenes :D ), was Mount Coot-tha & going on the Kookaburra Queen paddle wheeler lunch cruise down the Brisbane River. At Mt. Coot-tha I saw a Kookaburra steal someone's sandwich right off their plate! lol The river cruise was lots of fun too - they have cool sculptures along the sides of the river, as well as great views of houses & buildings along the way.

Oh no - I just saw this post... when are you in Sydney? I hope you haven't left yet!!!

mumtoliam 10-16-2009 11:25 PM

If you are in Sydney on the 29th - 31st October - make sure you go and see the Sculpture by the Sea... I usually start at Tamarama Beach and walk the coastline to Bondi Beach, but you can do the reverse... it is a beautiful scenic walk, and lots of buses and taxis know how to get to Bondi!http://www.sculpturebythesea.com/ Here is a link to the website!

tlrnhi 10-17-2009 12:20 AM

I PMd you back!

Sadly, we will be back in Brizzy then. Oh well.....but we do plan on walking the walk along Bondi. I'm not sure which way we started when we walked along there before, but we walked up a HUGE hill, then the walk was along the rocky area (coast) and we passed a very old cemetary. At the end, we came out to an area that had some little shops and restaurants. Had a nice late b'fast there. Was a great walk!

tlrnhi 10-17-2009 12:24 AM

Well, I will be shutting down the computer around noon my time.....10pm EST tomorrow (Saturday for ya'll)
Then heading to airport.
Hope we have internet connection.
I'm bringing my little baby laptop so we have something to do while waiting layovers in Tokyo. They use the same electric we do, but cannot use it in Australia. So, might be able to check in during my trip and give updates, not sure.......

For those that PMd me their addys,,,,stay tuned for a postcard.
Karla will be collecting a ton of them for her class. I hope they all come at around the same time.

If you are still wanting a postcard or unsure if I have your addy......just give me a quick PM and hopefully I will get it before I shut down and leave.

crkathleen 11-02-2009 11:44 AM

Wow! When I went to check my mail there was a postcard from Australia. Terri, your so sweet, you sent me purple scraps and a post card!
I hope you had fun!!! Can't wait to see some pictures :)
Thank you!!
