Hi Sheila and Rob,
Happy Belated birthday to you Sheila... I always think of you on New Year's... you own the very first box on my birthday calendar! Hope the day was great and you have great memories of this birthday... even if it wasn't one of those multiples of 5...
Happy New Year to you both and best wishes for more fun adventures in the days and weeks to come. Running out of memory card space yet? Maybe there is the purchase of an external hard drive in your future... I can imagine all the pictures you have taken so you don't forget your travel highlights... I can't imagine there have been any lows... you haven't stopped long enough to get tired of something!
Take care and enjoy your next stops.

Happy Birthday to you, Sheila! We are sitting here in Isabel's living room, sipping coffee, shivering from the frosty day and thinking of you guys enjoying summer down under. What a great way for you to bring in a new year...in a new land. We'll cheer to you tonight with our fondue and I'm sure Den will have a Drambuie in you honour, Rob.
Much love from all of us,
Diana, Dennis, Alison, Gemma, Liz, Don & Isabel.

Hi Sheila and Rob,
We hope you are enjoying your trip, it sure looks lie you are!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Loved seeing your photos. This is the first time I looked at a blog. Looks like you had a Merry
Christmas. I spent it with my family in New Jersey. Have a happy New Year. I look forward to seeing more of your trip.

Merry Christmas from the beautiful Rockies - enjoying a nice white Xmas day in Canmore. Safe travels in 2012 - look forward hearing about to the next part of your adventure. Enjoy.

Thanks for keeping us all posted, it is great to be able to follow your trip. We are having nice temperatures, 6 degrees today so we can't complain. However your sunshine, ocean and warm temperatures do looking inviting. Merry Christmas! Hope Santa spoils you both!
