You gain strength,
courage, and
confidence by every experience in which
you really stop to
look fear in the face.


Eleanor Roosevelt

Last week

I've enjoyed eating Mexican food, and good sushi, had bbqs and watched 4th of July fireworks. Been to the beach and shopped, played with the girls who keep everyone very busy! Rode on a Harley and swam in a pool, sunbathed and stayed in the shade...it's been hot!

Mum keeps asking is travelling all you expected, but it's been more, more than I could ever have imagined. My experiences, the laughs, the people I've met and places I've seen and then the hard times, missing people, nearly being killed by Malyasian drivers and being so, so sick! But it's all been worth it...and there's so much more to see!

Forget a mortgage I'm saving up for my next trip!

Life's a beach!

Suzi big adventure in the States

so far have been:
. Not seeing Pammy Anderson as I was looking at my phone (she was driving the opposite way)
. Having lunch in Malibu with a lunch portion size big enough for a small family
. Loving the weather
. Seeing all the Radens clan incl their massive Irish wolfhound Magnus or maybe Scottish, who knows who cares. He's bloody big though (like a small bear or horse) and is smelly, hairy, likes to sniff your crotch a lot!
. Playing chalks on the driveway with little Finks (that's Chelsey's 2 lovely girls)
. Dancing to the sound of music and watching Chitty, Chitty bang bang!
. Buying cheap razors and toothpaste
. Waking up at 12am then 4am then 7am o what fun jet lag is
. Getting a wax for the beach ouch...
. Painting toenails with the little Finks
. Eating good, cheap Mexican food (miss Tim Tams)
. Remembering how much I love California

and writing lists
