nearly 3 weeks (tomorrow) till we finish work

yo yo good people. so we sent out the link for the blog to everyone at the beginning of the week and so far feedback has been really good - hope you have all added it to your favourites or rss feed (if i missed you sorry have added link to facebook and twitter so you should be able to find us from there). please please leave your comments - its great to get feedback and hear how you are.

this week has been a bit of a flurry of energy - at the gym on tues and badminton last night - so not feeling the most sprightly today and a tad stiff. i think that might do me in the exercise stakes until the weekend. but in amongst all of this stupid behaviour holiday fever continues.

3 weeks tomorrow till we finish work - its quite unbelievable - we have been honing our plans for austalia this week and we now have accomodation for the hunter valley booked http://www.thill.com.au/ - very excited about meeting the resident kangaroo and tasting some fine wines (still off alcohol and has to be said the novelty is very much wearing off - still only 2 weeks more to suffer that one) . we have also had confirmation of our booking for the sail on the whitsundays. the boat is very aptly called the Alexander Stewart (pictured above)- nice and Scottish. it sails from Airlie and we will be cruising for 3 nights and 2 days doing not a lot except helping out with the sailing and some snorkelling - apparently we will be heading to some of the most amazing beaches and coral reefs so rather excited about that one.

Off into town tonight after work to meet claire and to try and find some flip flops - think Accessorize is the place to go - will need to try and wear them in before we go though as you know what my feet are like - 1 day in sydney and they will be ripped to shreds probably with blisters ahoy - no matter how nice and soft the shoe is. damn and blast my pathetic, weird looking soft skinned feet. i am also on the look out for a hat but having a bit of a debate about this one - should i just wait until i get over to australia before buying one as if i get one here it might be rather bashed by the time i get there - this of course will only apply if i decide to buy a stetson - which to be honest i think would look pretty cool - christie i am nickin your travelin style here.

the other conundrum is what books should we take with us - all suggestions greatly appreciated for this one - let us know xx
