We left Ireland with a furry little grass muncher in tow (Dougal of course!) on the 2nd May 2007 and visited Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Niagara Falls, Boston, San Francisco, Yosemite Valley, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, and Los Angeles in the space of a month before settling in Sydney.
It was so easy to fall in love with this city. It really is the most beautiful city we have ever been to and there is so much to do!
After working and saving for 12 months we travelled to Vietnam for 2 weeks then back to Australia to see Melbourne, Cairns, Mission Beach, Magnetic Island, The Whitsundays, 1770, Fraser Island, Noosa Heads, Surfers Paradise, Byron Bay and Brisbane before going over for a week in New Zealand and then back to Sydney.
These last few days we have shopped, did the Bondi to Bronte walk and saw the City to Surf Race (it started raining so we couldn't reach Coogee Beach), went to Delhi O Delhi and The Duke in our old neighbourhood for Chris' birthday, walked around the harbours for the last time and had a buffet lunch in the Sydney Tower Restaurant.
When we leave and travel back to Derry we will have travelled 41,000 miles!
We've had an amazing time living in Sydney and travelling for the last few months. So many new and exciting experiences our heads are almost still spinning. It will be very sad to leave here tomorrow despite the fact that we are so excited about getting to see all our friends and family again. We'd be fugitive's from immigration if we stayed longer, they made that clear on our arrival from New Zealand.
It will also be great to eat some food from home. We have been thinking about this over the last year and a bit and have come up with a list of the foods we've missed.
Wheaten Bread
Bridie's Chips
Garlic Chips
Fat Home Made Chips
Paolo's Pizza
A fry up with Potato Bread
A Soda
Real Bacon
Pork Sausages
Roast Dinners
Roasties
Champ
Tayto Crisps
Walkers Crisps
Galaxy Chocolate
Cadbury's Chocolate
Fiorentinis Ice cream
Guinness
The list goes on!
We can't wait to see you most of all!
That's it!
Over and Out
See you soon
