Bon Voyage from WA





My first attempt at the new blog system so lots of sympathy if it's stuffed up. You're probably thinking if Rock can master this it's time to leave the country!!
In fact we are....next week. Well deserved long service leave for John and newly unemployed time for Jan (maybe 'give me the time off or else' was a bit strong in hindsight)sees us winging to Bangkok for a week, Santorini for a week, 2 weeks in Ireland and then to Peru to attempt the Inca trail (4 day walk at altitude)for 2 weeks. John then returns to start 2nd term teaching whilst Jan stays in Lima for 2 weeks until Kate prises herself away from the 'special friend' in USA to join her for 2 more weeks of Sth American travel.Talk about a serious case of 'it's your inheritance', kids!! Liz is home alone working to save up for her own travel plans in August.
Zac has made it back and with no money to finance a visit to the dress up hire shop when invited to a 'stripes' 21st last Saturday went as 'Where's Wally'. He was a big success though his Mum didn't think much of the body paint on shirt, shorts, sheets and the hall wall as he lurched from side to side on his late arrival home.
Don't be afraid to back Marasco in the next 2 weeks.

Have a great trip guys. Street hustlers selling carpets etc have been alerted of your pending arrival and are already rubbing their hands together. Best let Jan do all the negotiating. Dont blog any photos of John nude sunbaking in Santorini. Jan, look after John and have fun.

Is K8's special friend still that bloke with the wandering hands? We haven't had an update from Kate for a while so tell her to get busy again. The trip sounds excellent and I hope you share the luck your kids seem to have had with their adventures. Looking forward to pics and stories of the high altitude walk and other hightlights. What's the plan for Ireland (apart from the compulsory tour of the Guinness factory in Dublin and a visit to the James Joyce writers museum)?
