Well we're back from the USA!

We're home briefly, got back on Monday afternoon, having had about 5 hours sleep on the plane. However that was the only sleep in about 44 hours, so by the time we went to bed around 8pm we were really ready to sleep :)

 

We had a really great time, did lots and lots of things and made some great memories!

 

 

My highlights were the Grand Canyon and seeing "O" the Cirque de Soleil show in Vegas, Callie has loved the shopping and apparently she is still shopping despite having to buy another case :). The guys enjoyed visiting a shooting range in Vegas too.

I also really enjoyed the days when we hired bikes and rode along the beachfront, there are so many 'characters' in LA!

 

It was also a highlight for me to travel with adult 'kids' and have a lovely holiday with good times, great memories, no dramas and so many laughs :)))

 

 

 

 

 

When we got back on Monday afternoon, Ben was here. He'd done a quick trip home being the last chance he would get to come home for the rest of the year. We took him back to Adelaide Tuesday afternoon to the airport.  We may get to catch up with him in NSW somewhere, depending on where we end up for work.

 

Callie and Steven will be back in Mildura next Monday and then do a quick trip Tuesday morning to pick up the dogs so we'll get a chance to say goodbye.

 

Josh is coming up for the weekend to catch up before we leave.  Bun has talked to Spud (the new boss) and we will leave here after lunch on Tuesday and get to his place at Kerang on Wednesday.  The trip isn't really that far but will give me the chance for some more driving and towing practice with Bun on board.  We will be leaving Kerang on Thursday to head up to Queensland.  Bun will be driving a harvester up there. They only do about 35km per hour and it takes about 50 hours of driving to get there so I will have plenty of driving on my own by the time we get there.

 

 

 

 

We're heading out for tea tomorrow night with my parents, my Dad will turn 80 on 14th October after we leave. I plan to catch up with a couple of friends for coffee on Saturday then see some other friends on Sunday. Hopefully by Monday all we'll have to do is put clothes into the van.

 

The next post might be a little while coming but will probably be done from Queensland!
