I am here at last
Well I am here at last safely but not without a few hitches. I arrived at the airport with plenty of time to spare as usual. I just happen to have an extra bag in tow which I of course new would be excess baggage. One extra bag under 20kg and they wanted to charge me $2,500 yes you have read tha...

Just popping in to wish you a very happy start to 2010. Here we've had a good Christmas and the children are just back at school (although maybe not for long as it looks like snow may force school closures later in the week!). Anyway, the first of my new year's resolutions is to tackle my mounta...
