33 Thank you Australia

We arrived in Halifax Dec 4th at 12:25 AM after 21+ hours of flying. We had bulkhead seats on the longest two flights and it made a huge difference. Thank you Paula Warner at Maritime Travel, Port Hawkesbury for managing our route. https://www.maritimetravel.ca/agent-details/1505/paula-warner

Thank you to all the wonderful Australians we met all over the country.

Australians are awesome!! Can't say it enough. We didn't meet one... not one ... nasty Australian. They the most helpful and friendly people.

Thank you to:

Tricia: It was so great to reconnect after 10 years. Thank you for chauffeuring us all over Queensland, planning out route and teaching us so much, including many unique Auzzie sayings: eg; sticky beak-meaning take a look or being curious.

Margie: Thank you for welcoming us to your home and for your wonderful Auzzie hospitality. We enjoyed our stay with you so much.

Thank you Megan, Jordan and your wonderful sons for teaching us about life on an outback property (ranch). We were so impressed with your way of life and especially by your sons.

Thank you Veronica for your kind hospitality. It was so great to reconnect after 10 years. That you for showing us around your city and for helping us meet the famous Quokkas on Rottnest Island. A trip to Auz is not complete until you get a quokka selfie.

Thank you Sue and Rosita, our new Auzzie friends. We enjoyed the delicious dinner at your house and eagerly await your visit to Cape Breton next fall.

Thank you Karen for your hospitality. It was so wonderful to connect with you again and get a good look at Melbourne. Hope to see you in Canada.

That you Jarred and Anna Maceachern for meeting up with us and bringing you two dear little boys, George and Patrick, to meet us.

Thank you Chris, Candra, Elizabeth and Kate. Our two weeks with you in Canberra was wonderful. We were able to explore the city and spend time with Chris, Candra, Kate and Elizabeth. Congratulations Chris on your graduation.

Thank you to the Auzzie bus drivers who went off their route to drive us home, the friendly Uber drivers, the friendly people in the stores, the people who smiled at us and stopped to talk on the streets, the hotel staff who were so kind, the restaurant workers who smiled and were so gracious, the tour guides and even Santa Claus who we met doing his shopping. So many kind, gracious Australians. 💕💖

The Land Down Under is awesome!
