Just landed in KL 11.51 AEST. Delayed flight left Tullamarine at 4.05am. bumpy ride most of the way. Sat next to Lucy all the way. I answered exactly 127 questions which is remarkable considering she was asleep for most of the trip! One hour layover then off to Dubai.

With less than 24 hours to go before ETD to KL I have just finished explaining to Ruby that there are NO koalas in Kuala Lumpur! With any luck, if I can stay here long enough, locked in the wardrobe I may get listed as a missing person!

With only two weeks to go I have estimated that our location at that time will be Dubai UAE. I have checked the weather in Dubai and it shows sunny and 42 degrees. You could forgive Tony for assuming that our destination may be Vladivostok and -3 degrees!

Exactly 4 weeks to go before leaving on an exciting trip to Italy. There is some excitement in the camp. The kids are counting down the number of school days while Tony Rao is hiring mini buses for our Scicily stay! Meanwhile, I've already started packing the Panadol !
