LOOK OUT WORLD. HERE WE COME!
As part of our 45th Wedding Anniversary celebrations , June and I are blowing what seems to be a small fortune on a once in a lifetime trip around the world . We are calling it "Round the World in 40 Days", well its actually 43 but 40 sounded better. Staying in some 4 and 5 star Luxury Marriott Hotels , thanks to no2 son who has got us some amazing deals, we shall being flying close on 17,000 miles.
Stopping off in Singapore on the way to Sydney, We then drive something like 625 miles up the Austrailian Gold Coast, visiting our good friends Jean and Max in Tamborine Mountain near Brisbane.
Then flying up to Cairns we shall be sampling the wonders of
The Great Barrier Reef before flying back to Sydney enroute to Honolulu for a chill out on Waikiki Beach for 5 days.
And then onto San Francisco before flying to Orlando where we join Deanstours in a luxury Villa one mile from Disneyland. this will consist of 14 members of the family, friends and grandchildren for what promises to be an action packed funfilled fortnight in the Magic Kingdom.
Most of the hotels have internet facilities so Im hoping to update this blog from time to time.
After this is all over we shall no doubt need a holiday so if you can offer an all expences paid couple of weeks . Feel free to do so.
June and Dick Dean

Great to hear your news. Glad you liked Singapore & Sydney.Sis
Think I have finally cracked it and are able to be in touch!! The wonders of technology!
We are all fine, enjoyed the boys and Simons visit. Thanks for card - are going out with Jean & Richard tonight.
Say hello to the blue gum trees for us on your way up to Brisbane Sis xxx
Hi Mum Dad. It's great to be able to keep track of what you're up to.
You seem to have settled in very quickly to Australia judging by your "tday" slip in your text, is that a cousin of "gday"??
We are all well. It has been really grey and dark this weekend. Got a few jobs done but we are beginning to mildly panick now about the fact that we fly to Orlando in 20 days and of course I am in Edinburgh for a week of that!!! Off bowling this afternoon (sunday).
I had a text from Dad saying that he was having a problem uploading photo's. Let me have a bit more info either via email or through the blog if you like and I'll try and help. You obviously managed it in Singapore.
Bye for now. Shaun xx
