So far....

So here I am in Bris-Vegas, although I won't have time to see anything more than airport, taxi, hotel, conference, taxi, airport.

I thought I'd give you a visual update of the trip so far.....

MELBOURNE

That was another FLYING visit, so I thought I'd snap a typical Melbourne tram ....


PERTH


I actually had two nights in Perth, which included an afternoon and an evening off. So I got to see a little more than in the other cities.

This is the view from my hotel room. The grass is being used as an air strip for the Red Bull Air Race which is on this weekend. I'm so annoyed that I'm missing out on that!


The event organiser and a speaker who had flown over from Sweden and I went walking in the rain.....










And then, the highlight.

Guera, Lani and I met up and had dinner at Freo (that's Fremantle for everyone not from Perth!)..


God I love this blogging thing. And the incredible women that I am fortunate enough to meet through this medium.

So, did you feel at home with all those rellies over there? Couldn't you just feel the EW vibe?

Lovely photos. Looks like you're enjoying the sights, even if your end up being dead on your feet from exhaustion!

great photos from the P&S! The Boab tree came out well, didn't it?

And is that the Pioneer Woman's Quick Edge Burn I see there? Did you get it to work?

Wow you and your tour guide Guera, really did do a lot of sightseeing before I met you!

And did I say just how fabulous it was to meet you, and the two of you made my day! Yay to blogging!!!

I DID, M! And I went past a 'FROCK' shop in the bus! That's when I really knew that I was in my true home town!

Actually... I really really liked it. I want to go back.

Thanks Ali. I am dead on my feet. But all I can think of is "2 more days to go" (and 2 cities)

Hello dear Guera.... Yeah, the little point and shoot took the photos well, but I was too tired to do anything more than upload them, apply a couple of actions (yep... you recognised PW's edge burn! but I didn't really blend it as well as I could have) and post.

It feels wierd to be in Brisbane without contacting you, Le!! I can feel your energy..... (not really, but it sounds good).

The conference is right in the city. Southbank I think. I'm meeting the others in the lobby in an hour and am being taken there.

Then straight to airport. Then HULLO ADELAIDE!

(nearly home to my boys)

Lani! It was a wonderful night... but I truly am usually not that exhausted. I was almost comatose by the end! Wonderful to meet you, though. Next time I want to meet Boo too.

your photos are superb and I am so envious you got to meet Lani and see Guera again.

I really want to see WA soon.

Glad you had a good blogmeet in Freo.
