Hello everyone!!! Well, we finally made it to Sydney, and it is fantastic! The weather was a bit dodgy ( Aussie lingo) for the first few days but it is bright and beautiful today. We still have some things to blog, such as Ko Chang, which is extremely beautiful, and our 3rd trip to Bangkok. We will get to it soon. Other than that, we are just trying to find work, because we need to make some extra cash if we are going to stay out until May. We are planning on renting a camper-van for the last month and a half, or maybe only the last month, depending on dough. I have found some part time work with Dave (our friend who is letting us stay with him) at the beach, renting surfboards and bodyboards for a week, but I'm still looking for something at night. Kelly starts the jobhunt on Monday. Our next blog should be a good one, but then it will probably be until after the new year for our next update. Just wanted to let you all know. We really appreciate all the nice comments, it always makes our day when we hear from our friends and family. We will be thinking about all of you on Christmas (don't be sad Mama) and soaking up the sun. Actually, I will be working, but it's still a day at the beach!

Hi Kel & Bri,
Just read your blog, glad to hear you are doing well. Bri - sounds like a fun job being on the beach all day, don't forget the sun screen. Maybe Kelly should stand outside your stand in her bikini to drum up business! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN!!!!
Love you & Miss you,

Hey -

I am so glad that you two have made it safely to all your destinations - God Bless. Can't wait to see pics of Australia! Jobs? Jobs? Well THAT's no fun.... :)although more fun working there than would be here....it's bitter cold today! Freezing rain left a wonderful sheet of ice to drive on today. Happy Holidays to you both - looks as if it was your birthday, Bri...so happy birthday. Best wishes... Merryl Houston
