Crow,
As your time nears its end near us, we are happy that you enjoyed the people you've met. I know that I enjoyed "meeting" you over the cell phone, and am sure those that met you & yours in person were happier still.
Thanks for making the trip, as most of us will tell you that we intend to do the very things you did. Easier said than done.

Re: 10,300 miles as the Crow flys
Crow and Susy, I'm heading into the mountains for a couple of weeks and out of computer range. Just want to wish you well and safe journey back to Oz. It was a pleasure meeting you both and I will always be able to put a face to the name. Also now know what Bandinburgh rum taste like!

Re: 10,300 miles as the Crow flys
Well seeing as though this is our last day here in the USA I felt it fitting to make an appearance to say how much we have enjoyed meeting everyone and a bit saddened to not have met some of you. We couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one we got. We would like to say a bigTHANKYOU to all the folks who hosted us during our stay.(You guys rock). We loved meeting your families and fur babies.
