Cat having another baby!!

My sister Kelly & her friend Kelly ( sis on the left )
BACK IN OZ !!!
Well, I totally freaked my mother out. My little sister Kelly and I picked her up from work. Lucky she has a strong heart or otherwise I would have given her a heart attack.
Just to update you all on the romance situation. Scott is in Sydney and will be flying to Townsville in 9 days.
I have fortunately made it in time for the Swire Golf Day ... yippie...so as per usual I will be the drinks girl. Looking forward to having some fun.
I have caught up briefly with some friends and ate out a lot. I will definitely try and stay away Asian food for a while..hahaha.
So my next plan of attack is to drive around Australia.
Scott & I have estimated that it will take us over 70 days and we would travel atleast 17,500 klms. We will be camping most of the way so therefore we have decided to drive anti-clockwise to avoid the cold of the south & the get through the north before the rain season hits.

Singapore...last stop










This is my last week overseas before heading home to surprise my mum & Stuart ( his Bday coming up ). It was excellent timing to be in Singapore as the arts festival was on & I managed to catch one performance.
I did all of the tourist traps: China Town, Little India, Night Safari, Singapore Sling..pretty muched just walked my feet off.

So the next thing on the agenda is to travel Australia.
Scott & I are going to drive around the country. 17,500 klms !!!!
Oh my hat!!!
