Two hours from now I'm out of here

Hello and goodbye, I leave from Sydney in two hours for a seven hour flight to Singapore for 3 days than off aagain for Dubai, London than to Boston. (211/2 hours flying time) Than to home and snow and from what I hear lots of it. Hopefully they can find my car as it hasen't been seen since all the snow started. Had a great time in the Gold coast actually went to Steve Irwins the croc hunter's zoo in Beerwah. I was impressed. Had a picture taken of me with a big snake with my friend Margaret. We went to a show in the Casino at Surfers walked very carefully around the canel in front of where we were staying as the week before someone got taken by a shark in there. Who in their right mind would even think of swimming there was beyond me however #### does happen doesn't it. Dr. Don sat next to a plastic Surgeon on my flight back to Sydney we must have a talk. Kenny you are back again on my list of unblocked people so sorry. When you are in a backpackers packed internet lounge and the next guy can see your e-mail and some of them well you know what I mean that is how it happened. I forgot to clear yours before the zap. Margaret and I rented a car while in Queensland not a new one a quite old one as a matter fact. 20 years old. An old Toyota with a bullet hole in the front of the car. The sides weren't in too good of shape but it ran like a top and took hardely any petro.rented it for 23.00 a day from bargin wheels. Met some awsome people from Scotland laughed alot at what we saw at the beach in Surfers Paradise. Margaret gets 20,000 new chickens tomorrow and over the next 4 days the rest. Glad I'm out of the chicken business for a change now onto the pool business when I get back. Paige hope to get to see you in Toronto and Jason I need your address as I was putting things today in my ruck sack I have a book of yours sorry I took it by accident. I did not have a chance to call you hopefully you got my messages to pick up the papers you needed. I need your correct address. Will let you all know how it goes in Singapore and Davie and Soupie get ready in Thailand for my next stop over next year. Planning on coming back to Ireland for a week in the fall so all of you on that side of the pond watch out I'll be there.
Stay in touch and be well. Get that party started Wally.
Phyllis
