Today we went out to the place where Dad’s beloved little dog has made a new home. She was all alone too much here on the farm and with Ma being allergic, circumstances made life hard for both Ma and Whisper. So it was decided that Whisper would go to another place. An ad was answered in the local paper …
Today as we headed down into town we came across a mob of wild kangaroos. They live in the hills around the area and are often seen on the farm. For kids growing up in New York it was quite a treat. We stopped and watched them for a while. The big Buck was standing protectively. If we had gotten …
There comes a time in every kids life that they need to learn to build a fire. For Grand Master D and Miss Gremlin today was that day. Armed with some newspaper and a box of matches, they found a stump requiring burning and set to work. Ma showed them how to set it alight.
It was a particularly long trip to Oz this time. We left at 3pm on wednesday afternoon and finally arrived at our destination friday night after midnight. 20 hours flying time and 6 hours driving plus stopovers. By the time we arrived I was delirious from lack of sleep. I didn’t really sleep on the plane at all. We had …
Grand Master D and Miss Gremlin do Taekwondo at home with Harlem Taekwondo, lead by Master Fall. They’ve been doing it for about 4 months now, 5 days a week, 2 hours a day. It has improved Miss Gremlin’s physique incredibly and Grand Master D has great form. Well the connection with the sport does not end there. My cousin …
Aussies are a strange breed, we have a wicked sense of humour, a strong mateship with each other and we talk funny. I found this Aussie Slang dictionary, listing what we say and what we call things, just for fun. It will take you a little while to read but spare a thought for us, STILL flying 🙂 A Aerial …
We’re leaving this afternoon, while we’re flying here’s some fun………. Don’t be scared for us. We’re not likely to see all of these things on our trip. Probably only half 🙂 I’m skipping off to finish the packing. Cop ya later!
As we are about to embark on our bi-annual pilgrimage to the homeland, I think back on all the long trips we’ve made with children and how interesting they have been. They’ve been travelling since they were tiny. Miss Gremlin’s first plane ride was at 5 weeks. Grand Master D sat in a car seat for 18 hours at 3 …
When collecting an unaccompanied minor from the airport, you’ll need to take along a lot of patience. You would think that having Grand Master D fly home on his own would be less hassle all round and I suppose it probably is, but it was rather a long frustrating process. I left home before he even boarded the plane to …
During the trip to Ottawa, Canada to get our O1 visas (Aliens of extraordinary ability, that’s important), we had some problems. First job was to drive 10 hours with an 18 month old and a 5 year old. This was a little easier than previous road trips because Santa brought a dvd player 🙂 We hit the road 2 days …
