Home again
Posted by Lisa Hill on June 16, 2015
Hello to my faithful readers: we had to cut short our trip because my father is gravely ill, so we’re now back in Australia after a gruelling 36 hours.
To Stuart at Academy Travel in Australia: you are wonderful. He was in touch within 20 minutes of my text, listened, and then said he would ring back in half an hour with a solution. It was four in the morning in Brussels, and Sunday in Australia. He rang back, and everything was sorted. We were on the train to Paris with connecting flights and kindly considerate treatment from everyone at Singapore Airlines – with a rental car ready for us at Brisbane as well.
*weak smile* The hospital won’t let us in to visit until 10:00am and they are very strict with double-locked doors and all, so we have time for a quick shower and some breakfast…
Bye for now
Lisa

Greetings!
We trust your precipitate departure turned out to be unnecessary.
If time is not too pressing at the moment, we’d like to hear from you. A few glasses yet to be enjoyed.
Cheers
Annie & Tim
