On the 26th of July 1999, I set out on a journey that was to take me around the world and home again. The object of this trip was to make it home to Ireland the land of my heritance and my dreams and on the way meet as many Paddynetters as I could. I meet with some very special people on my journey and I thank them all from the bottom of my heart for the love and
care they gave to me, both in sharing themselves with me, and showing me a good time. I love you all !!
My Journey starts here in Tasmania, to Melbourne then on to Auckland, New Zealand, from there to LAX, Los Angeles. I
spent a week travelling between Manb's Apartment, Myhrmaid's house and Toto/Ladyinblack who took me to breakfast.
From Sacramento, with a stop over in Fort Worth Dallas, to Springfield. Here I meet the great Pollyc, Spiritedfilly ( yep she drove 300 miles to meet me! Yeah I feel loved!), Kyn, Lukeskywalker77, and Bodine. And
another chatter, not from the paddynet, who will always and forever be my Angel. Then from Springfield back to Fort Worth
Dallas, and on to Gatwick England and finally to Dublin.
While in Ireland I meet with quite a lot of Paddynetters, these include ExciledinDublin, Altargirl, Spellcheck, (smirk) Defcon1, Agobshite, LovinGuinness, Sadpuppy (who came from England to meet me *offers choccies*), and Cavedog. I think that is everyone.. *S* I hope so!
On the return journey I started in Dublin, flew to Gatwick England, bused to Heathrow, and flew to Singapore and on to Melbourne.
Then from Melbourne to Burnie... Home
The trip of a life time something I had been planning forever and it was worth it all! 5 weeks of nothing but happiness and memories is what I came
home with and will always have in my heart.
Of course you realize I will be doing this again, so for those of you I didn't meet this trip, put your bids in now for my next trip! *S* yes Mahaggie your on the list girlie! *hug* that is if we can't get you to the Aussie Bash first!
