My first Blog post

So I have to work out this blogging thing before we head off on our awesome and mammothly exciting adventure. I am sure it will take a few posts to get use to and discover all that this can do and display etc. Please let me know if you want to be able to see anything in particular on my blog, particularly when the trip comes round :)
Tonight I booked a flight from New York to Boston. Cost us $5 bonus! The QANTAS mob can do right by their customers. Let's hope it stays that way as we use them and their affiliates numerous times in 2012.
Our holidays have started already even tho we have not traveled abroad. We have decided to pretend to be tourists around our own city for the next few months. It was kicked off today with a trip to the beach with the dog. The water was the proverbial "Flat as a pancake" and a "Picture perfect" azure blue. We do live in a beautiful city.  We caught the train to Fremantle this arvo. Spending it with 6 noisy teenage skater boys was NOT a highlight, but the wander amongst the hustle and bustle of the markets was. I love the smells, trinkets and uniqueness of the Freo market. We capped it off with a cider at the Newport. Awesome.
Now kicking back listening to the water feature trickling away in the back yard and thinking about adventures to come.
Enjoy the balmy night :)
