Family, friends and Fun

This has been a wonderful few days catching up with my best friend from primary school. Sue and I have been reminiscing about all the crazy things we got up to - no, I'm not going to share those with you - it will give you too many ideas!  I could never understand why one of my teachers told my mother to stop me playing with Sue - cause she was a bad influence on me. Wow - how pleased am I that my mother ignored the teacher!  Her parents were like my second parents. We had a wonderfully tear filled lunch together on Sunday. Sue is also a mad keen runner so we even got to go for a run - in the rain - just like two naughty kids. I haven't escaped talking about all of you great kids - I have been asked to talk to some teachers about how to teach using iPads - so you will be quite proudly spoken about on Wednesday morning.
Next week is the start of me visiting another part of South Africa- Knysna - see if you can find it on Google Earth. I will have some great animal pictures to share from there.
In the meantime- here are some photos of my ever-crazy friend, Sue

Ready for take off...Johannesburg - here I come!

A very early morning take off from Brisbane to Sydney, then a 14 hour flight to Johannesburg.  Hopefully I will have a lot of in-flight entertainment to keep me occupied.  If not, I have Jessica's word search, 2 puzzle books, an audio book and my Kindle to keep me entertained for the trip.  If all else fails, I can just sleep. I really hope that I don't have a snuffly or over talkative person next to me on the flight.  I guess that's where a good set of earplugs may come in handy.

Looking forward to viewing the majestic Johannesburg skyline.
