Hey hey,

I don't know how well this is going to work. This is really Aaron's job, I just take the pictures :). Hopefully though you can see the van and our hme away from home for the next few months. So far we love it, everything we need and more.

Currently we're in Byron Bay, enjoying beach life everywhere we go and still headed North .... which in Australia means towards more sun, not away from it :). We couldn't be happier and are really living the life.

Anyway, we'll update some more soon. My time is finished on this computer.

love jessi

Hello from Australia

Hey hey,

So I figured it was about time I added something here so you all know it's not just Aaron down here but me as well. I'm gonna make it short and sweet though, I swear I just found a piece of random bodily hair from down under on this key board ... and by down under I don't mean Australia. So it's officially been a week since we left the cold, and I have to say that part of leaving was easy. The long flights and even longer layover in LA were brutal though, I can safely say no one can ever beat Aaron and I at crazy 8 countdown again though. Not only did we play it at every airport and on every plane, but also roughly 4 times a day, everyday in Fiji... in between beach walks, swims in oceans as warm and bath water, swings on hammocks and bus rides to tiny little villages... oh and crosswords, lots and lots of crosswords. Zatz, I might even be able to do a crossword faster than you now.

We definitely met a few cool people, mostly people from the UK and all headed to New Zealand. In total we spoke to 4 Canadians, including this random crazy chick we met at the airport today who was born in Fiji, lived in BC and then married a guy from New Zealand. Really, she was nuts.

Anyway, so now were in Sydney and so happy to be staying in a hotel. Not that the hostels weren't great but just to know we have a space to ourselves for a couple nights is great. I miss home a little bit every day ... but not enough to not want to be here. Seriously ... it's warm here and cold there, enough said. Really though, I wish you could all be here as well. If there really are all those snakes and poisonous things here Sunny I'm sure I'll trip and fall on half of them so I'll let you know :). Oh and Happy Birthday ... Aaron thinks you'd love Fiji because it's yellow fever central.

Maurizz ... keep checking this like Facebook, really I know that if I can count on one thing each day it's knowing that at some point you've checked to see if we've posted something new. Zatz, I'm wearing my sunscreen and reapplying like no other.

Anyway ... pictures will come soon, promise. And if by any chance you guys feel like calling across the world to speak to us our number here is 044-860-4505 . There's a country code you have to put in from of that but I don't know what it is. Email is probably easier anyway, and 10 times cheaper/free :).

Love you all,
jessi

Paradise

Let me just say Fiji is a must for everyone. Sorry if i misspell any words, the computer i am on can't keep up to my blazing typign speed, and i don't feel like going back and fixing my mistakes. Well Jess and I have been on the beach for about 2 days now... i got a bit burnt yesterday. This is absolute paradise.. beaches... nice people.. good food, and we pay about 20 bucks canadian for a six person dorm.. which we are the only occupants at the time. The bus ride here only cost us about 7 dolarrs, that's about 5 CDN, we were the only whites on the bus... that made us laugh... and they put on the movie Daredevil... which was a hit for most watching. The bus dropped us off on the side of the road and we walked into the backpackers resort with no expectations. So... Met some wonderful people from across the world so far, Denmark, Oz, Canada, Germany, everywhere... we're turbo pleased about everything, i have taken some good pictures to prove to you that it was been really nice... i will upload these when i get to sydney (it would take an hour to upload them on this computer) sooo slow... also.. for all you that have tried to email us on the blackberry, that won't work until we get to australia. Jess and I are going to stay another night her probably because its wicked... gotta love waking up... going for a stroll on the beach, have some fresh coffee, swim.. snorkel.. you name it.... at the end of the night we still get to split a bottle of wine for under 15$ Canadian...

So comment away guys and we'll be in australia on saturday, which is your friday... (kind weird that we're an entire day ahead of you)

Anyhoo.... drop us a line..

FIJI is a must on all vacations. and cheap.... dirt cheap... beer here is only 3.90 fijian... dont' know what that is CDN.. but cheap...

Buddle up people and remember to wear a tuque.

Flight

Well we are somewhere over the us and I just found out that we're only half way to LA. This day is officially the longest day EVER! On the plane I have a window seat, which means I can look out when I get bored. This trip is going to be so exciting for Jess and I. Coincidentally on our flight to MTL, we sat beside two australians, one of them have is his business card and said we can call him if we need something or get in a jam. Well time for me to try to get back to sleep. Ciao
