Alan, Margo and Pat
 

Greetings Alan, Margo and Pat

We are back from our Holiday and had a fabulous time (as always)! Alan we are very sorry we missed you and that we just didn't wait longer! Maybe next year we will come up to the Blue Mountains and save you that train ride!

We did get to meet Margo that evening,as well as Pat up in Cairns the next week. We would have liked to have spent more time with them than we did, but we are thankful for the opportunity we had!

It was very enjoyable getting to meet those who spend a lot of time here helping us find our way to a lovely Australian Holiday!

We are very thankful for all of the help you have given us the past 4 years!

And remember we are only an hour away from Disney World should you ever travel up North

Best Wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a fabulous new year to you all

Steve and Andrea

PS The Mercantile is Open again:)

Well, then, nect time we'll meet at the Mercantile (which was, if I recall, what we were originally planning to do)! That way, whoever gets there first can just keep quashing Guinness until they won't know whether the latecomers turn up or not!

Glad you had a good trip!

Quaffing! Quaffing! Not "quashing"! When will I learn to proof-read!

Hi Steve and Andrea - lovely to meet up with you in Cairns and hope you enjoyed your Spirit of Freedom trip. You certainly picked the right weather.

and thanks so much for the roasted chilies, have only used them once so far, its too hot to cook, but come winter ...., yum!

Merry Christmas

PS to Alan - will you be hanging around the Mercantile in January (either quaffing or quashing?) We'll be down in Sydney then, love to meet up.

Just give me a day and a time, Pat.... especially if you're talking BEFORE January 9. From that date, you may have to settle on a time after 5 p.m.
