FGIS - We'll miss having you "just down the coast". I love reading your blog. So sorry we didn't get to meet up. Best of luck on San Francisco! What an awesome city. I look forward to hearing of your adventures stateside.

Rosangela, Those were such sweet things to say!

We loved having you here and am so glad we found each other again!

Are you still in journalism? I haven't seen anything for a while -- but I can totally imagine turning the news on and you being there on my screen!

So if you come to San Francisco, look us up... it would be great to see you; the boys are so big, and sweet, and funny-- you would love them. Keep in touch! xo

Laura, I can't believe you guys are already leaving and I haven't got the chance to see the kids again in person. Luckly I found this blog to follow your family's journey here down under. And will keep in touch now on Fb ;) I am very lucky to have met you guys here and to be part of (a small part of) your adventure. I remember the day your mom left (for the first time) Australia, and how hard that was for you and the kids. I remember you asking me where I've learnt to say "no worries", getting used with the new 'language'. I remember Benji driving around his red car, and I remember Ollie saying: "right there" everytime he found where to place another piece in one of his puzzles. Well, those are great memories that will remain with me (one of my first jobs in Australia!). You are a very nice family that deserves all the best, and I'm sure that's exactly what's waiting for you in San Francisco. All the best! Enjoy! :)

I was living in PDX before I moved here, and still have a house there. I'll be living there until I find a new job in the US.

My first try was to compare the cockatoos to screech owls. Then I listened to some screech owls on YouTube and -- they're not very screechy.

Can't believe I missed the bait on first reading.

OK, here goes.

The cockatoos are louder than Spinal Tap turned up to 12.

Ooooh-- you missed it-- I thought you just really couldn't come up with one-- hahaha. Maybe your mind was already in Portland. So are you moving there? I have a friend there I think she loves it.

Thanks for getting back to me with that one! :)

If you do wear flowers in your hair, make sure they're Australian indigenous varieties.

Regarding steck's quote from the Scott McKenzie 1967 song 'If You're Going To San Francisco'...the 'good old days of Haight-Ashbury,Make Love, Not War was on everyone's lips as the Viet Nam war was very unpopular, and hippie days were just beginning!!
