Well, it must now be official that we are going to go away, since we had our ‘Bon Voyage’ party last night. The turnout was reasonable, with most of the invited people attending. Everyone brought food too, which worked out pretty well as there was plenty to go around; I was a little concerned that only a few people would bring something leaving us all to go hungry.

Both Justine and I had a pretty good time and the time certainly passed by at a reasonable pace. Guitar Hero and Buzz seemed to keep quite a few people entertained as well which was good. It’s great to have electronic babysitters, isn’t it?

I would like to thank the following people who have or will in some way contribute to our holiday, as things would have been a lot difficult without:

• Dad
  For so generously contributing financially towards our trip.  And also for loaning me your 50mm f/1.8 lens as mine is finicky.
• John, Kerryn, James and Sarah
  For also contributing financially towards our trip.
• Richard
  For house-sitting while we’re away.
• Chris
  For loaning me your USB charger when I realised I couldn’t get one in time.
• Trav and Ange
  For buying us things to keep us amused on the long haul over there.
