Well folks I am off to Australia next month. No need to put the flags out as I will be back after a few weeks. Got my ticket and fly out on 17th May, back on 12/13th June. i should still be able to look in and keep an eye on that daitheplant Stop in Singapore for refuelling (the plane not me) Been a long time since I was in Sydney, 1964 in fact so should see some changes. I will think of you all while having a barbie but not a lot  Been out there weeding in the garden and no doubt it will be like a jungle when I get back as Maureen prefers to sit on the patio instead of weeding. (She's not going, just me) |

Some praise for the passport office.
Sat. 18th applied to renew my passport and told it would be about 7-10 days to come through.
My niece in Sydney needed passport number to book my flight so that might have been a bit tight time wise.
maureen telephoned passport office and explained reason we needed the number and told it wasn't in the system yet but call back on Friday which she did.
Was told some good news, it would be delivered that day Friday by courier from Belfast on compassionate grounds so full marks to them.
Sometimes government agencies do turn up trumps.

I loved Sydney when I visited in 1997. One of the great cities of the world. Hope you have a good time even under your circumstances as Lou mentioned earlier.

You said you are going via Singapore. You are lucky sweetpea. My QANTAS flight took me to Sydney via Dubhais, which I really dislike. Singapore is my favourite airport. |

Hope you have a good trip sweetpea & manage some quality time with your sister. P.S. Be careful where you go, you might bump into someone who still remembers you from your last trip!  |
