Home

Well I must say, it definitely feels good to be home! After a 13 1/2 hr flight from Sydney to Vancouver, it was good to get out and walk. Most of all it was good to see somebody we knew! Jen and Steve along with the kids, came to meet us in Vancouver. We had a very good visit with them and really appreciated the fact that they came to see us. Our flight was supposed to leave Vancouver for Calgary at 1:00 but didn't end up leaving until 6:30. Needless to say, we were very, well lets just say 'disappointed', with the airline. By then we were extremely tired and just wanted to get home. Mom and Dad's hugs were very much welcome!! After waiting an hour for our luggage to come on the conveyer we only had a five minute wait for Dylan's parents so we surprised them at met them after customs! It was a very long trip home but I can say this with confidence, it was well worth it!!
We are hopeing to have a slideshow some evening now that we are back and everyone is welcome. I will post a day and time when we have something figured out. We need to catch up on some sleep first!

Comin' Home

Well the time has come.  Tomorrow morning we are heading to the airport to begin our journey home!  We have enjoyed our time here but it is definitely time to come home!  There are so many things that we have gotten to experience and we look back with no regrets!  With many of the things that we have done here, we wouldn't have had the chance to do them back at home.  We have come away with so many new memories and good experiences!!  

Thank-you to everyone that has been thinking and praying for us!  We could not have done it without the support of your prayers!  We look forward to seeing everyone again and sharing the rest of our experiences with all of you!  

Thanks again,  Dylan and Debbie

Sydney

Well for the past week, we have been enjoying a bit of rest and relaxation in Sydney.  It has definitely been a good finish to our time here in Australia.  On Wed the 4, we visited the Australian National Maritime Museum.  Here we got to tour some historic vessels.  This included a Sailing Ship, Tall ship, Submarine and a Destroyer.  It was very interesting to climb aboard and see how they used to live on the different Vessels.  

On Thursday we went surfing!  It was a rainy cold day but the waves were awesome and there were only four of us on the beach!  Dylan did really good catching five waves in a row!  Deb somehow managed to catch her first wave of the day, but that wasn't the only one thankfully!!  We were not there for a full day but it was sweet while it lasted.  

On Fridays we got to go Parasailing!  This was the seventh time that we have tried to go so we were glad that it actually worked out today!  It was an incredible feeling to just be floating up there.
