4 weeks to go

well that was rather a quick week - its all becoming very real and now in what seems like no time at all, we only have 4 weeks to go. Its been a lovely week just chilling and catching up with friends, there has also been some great news winging its way to us. Kelda and Callum got engaged at the Taj Mahal and Goggs and Christine have set a date for their wedding at the v. posh cameron house. Congratulations to you all - Nice one!!!!

we had a really good catch up with mr gordon on the phone last night where we were discussing plans for when we are visiting them in Sydney - going to be brilliant to see them and find out how good goggs's tour guide skills are. Plan is to see them for 4 days when we arrive, go on a whistle stop tour of the blue mountains and hunter valley wine region for a few days before flying to cairns, where we will spend 6 days in accomodation right on trinity beach (prob do some snorkelling, a trip to the barrier reef, the rain forest and lots of lounging around as well as visiting the local sites) we will then drive to Airlie before getting on a cruise round the whitsundays and then flying back to sydney where we will spend our last day climbing the harbour bridge. watch this space for photos.

we also managed to work out this week how to connect to people via msn so we could use the webcam. this will allow us to catch up with people face to face, so if you have a webcam or even msn, please respond to my invite so we can chat whilst we are away online. if you didnt recieve an invite please let me know - our user name is emmajcowan so you might be able to find me.

i also joined twitter last week - for those who dont know its a micro blogging site http://www.twitter.com/- if you register i am on there as emmajcowan as well - kind of like a mini facebook but a lot quicker to scan and hear what folk are up to -i am just trying to find as many ways as poss to let people know how we are - what would we do without tinternet eh?

ricky has been back in dundee this week catching up with his folks who are off to florida next week - mad to think we wont see them again until june. whilst he was away i caught up with claire who made me feel very jealous as she told me about her wonderful trip to africa - i am now wishing we had included that as part of our itinerary - still always next year eh mr murray?
