Holiday at Home

After a good 30+ hours in airports and on planes we finally arrived in a sunny Sydney. Both sets of parents and my brother Caillin were there to greet us and with Mikey arriving on the same morning it was a brilliant reunion.

We all headed back to Marg's parents place in Epping where the local wildlife came out to meet us.

It had been a long flight however and we made it to at least 6pm before we had to crash out.

The next day we all met at Longreef Golfclub, the venue where Marg and I will be married next year. We all had a great lunch and got to speak to the wedding coordinator. It's going to be a fantastic party!

The lunch with the two families was wonderful and it was especially good to see Marg's Dad Peter out with us all. It finally gave me a chance to formally ask his permission to marry Marg (something I tried many, many times before we left).

The next day we decided to the the stunning Bondi to Bronte walk. Australia turned on the weather for us (it's winter remember).

The walk was a long and thirsty one and afterwards we quenched our thirst at Bondi Iceburgs overlooking Bondi beach. Yeah life was hard that day.

Obviously there is a lot more to come and we'll be updating with the rest of the trip over the next few days. (this should keep your lunches exciting for the next little while Phil)
