Los Angeles is already in full swing…. the twinkle lights are up, Santa’s house is everywhere, and the Christmas trees are sparkling. The malls are jammed with a vortex of shoppers carrying brightly colored bags that make us want to purchase something.
Requests for my wish list are already beginning to roll in. So….. here it is:
If it’s handmade, by you - I want it
If you created it - I want it
If you painted it - I want it
If you wrote it – I want it
I will be just as happy to have nothing at all
For I am giving myself the very best gift….. 8 days in Fiji and 14 days in the Beautiful Land Down Under…where people eat vegemite sandwich’s, drink beer before noon, never pronounce the letter ‘R’ - as it takes up too much time and they always know how to smile and say “G’Day Mate”!
So, my dear friends, this year I am giving you the chronicles of my journey and if you’re lucky, I’ll bring you a sea shell from Fiji……. Or maybe a vegemite sandwich…yummy....

you know how much i hate the vegemite stuff, but I would give anything to eat the fatest vegemite sandwich you could make just to be near you this xmas...this post really hits home with your departure and as sad as I feel i am more excited for you than anything knowing how important this is and how much you need this....i miss your face
Australia is BEAUTIFUL!!! Between Brisbane and Cairnes there are a million little islands that are so perfect and beautiful. Byron Bay...Surfer's Paradise...all of these places I visited on a two week trip there many years ago. All you want to do is be out in the sun and surf and rainforest. It makes me eager to plan a trip to see a dear friend in New Zealand, who is about to return there after working in Afghanistan for two years. Have a great trip!
