world party the story - a whirlwind trip to many cities, towns and villages in numerous countries - and how a family from sunny Brisbane who like it hot find the cold in the big wide world.

Ohoh California in the summer, where everyday's a holiday... it was a relief when the plane landed. The flight from Brisbane to Auckland was exciting - we had food, watched a movie then pretty well arrived! The next leg was the longest any of us had ever had and we were pretty glad to get to LAX. Customs took a long time but all the people were great! Wer'e here in Anaheim and about to go to Disneyland! Had a great Mexican meal last night and went shopping - cheap! Got groovy Nike's with Ipod monitors (Pegasus) for like $80! Woohoo, we could live like this... food's good, people are friendly and Anaheim seems very nice, though a little old in parts... The daylight's really bright, like at home and the temperature's nice - 20ish. It's Smoky from the Malibu bushfires... going swimming in the pool now! Pics soon. X
