Friend or Foe # 1 - The Internet
Friday, August 17, 2007
Most of this week has been taken by the sorting of flights and accommodation. You’d be surprised how difficult it is to arrange 115 consecutive nights accommodation in a town that you have never been to with hotels you have never seen on street names you have never heard. OK, obviously that is a difficult thing to do.

What to Pack?
Thursday, August 16, 2007
We began the electronic planning of this trip and by that I mean anything we can do to keep 2 under 3’s entertained for 6 of the coldest months of their little lives. We also start to consider what needs to be packed, how many toys can we take and do we pack winter clothes or just buy them when we get there. For the record we decided on the latter. In most cases here in Sydney, despite the fact that we think it’s cold, a pair of trackky dacks and a jumper is enough to keep you warm. We suspect that we’ll need a little more than there when we get there.

Flights Booked, It’s All Happening Now
Tuesday, August 14, 2007
We booked our flights today. Sydney to Los Angeles at least. Shouldn’t we have found an airline to sponsor us beforehand? Oh well, maybe next time. Almost $8,000 later we are now locked in, on our way and with absolutely no looking back. As we plan the rest of the trip we will be booking the rest of our flights. This quite exciting to tell the truth. The talk has stopped now and it’s all systems go.....

The Box That Should Have Been an Envelope
Monday, August 13, 2007
Today we experienced a type of hospitality that completely blew us away. A few weeks ago we accepted an offer from a friend of ours in Green Bay. That was to send as many brochures, classifieds and pamphlets of Green Bay and the local areas to help us in advance of the big move. I don’t normally like to ask people for things but I was assured it was no problem so I graciously accepted. What arrived in the mail 3 weeks later (tonight) was so unexpected we didn’t know what to do. It was the most comprehensive box of Green Bay paraphernalia we had ever seen, complete with hats for Kelly and I, presents for the boys and a note welcoming us to Green Bay for the very first time. We had a look at some of it this evening but will save most of it for when the boys are packed up in bed and we can spread it all over the floor.

Rugby League - Goodbye My Friend
Saturday, August 11, 2007
My last live game of Rugby League this year.
I haven’t been to the football (Rugby League) here for a while. The Sharks haven’t been doing so well of late after a cracking start to the season. Either way I went tonight with a good friend of mine. A tight friend but a good none the less. The way the Sharks are playing doesn’t really lend itself to travelling 35 minutes to an away game, parking a mile from the stadium, standing there in the cold for an hour and half all to walk away with another “L” for the season.
