Have a great, and safe, time!

I am jealous! jealous! jealous!
I hope you have a wonderful trip--though I know you have a way of looking at things that always make them wonderful!
Be safe dear friend.

Hope you have a great time. Can't wait to hear & see about your trip!
Stay safe!

Safe travels, Ali! Have an awesome time!

Can't wait to hear about your adventures from the road.

Not long to go now Ali, and you will be in our beautiful country. Looking forward to seeing you and welcoming you Kiwi-style!
Have a great safe trip. Love Kate Wishnowsky

You and your family will be in our prayers. Have fun, enjoy the journey and cant wait to see your blog entries and travel scrapbook. Love,
Daphne

woo hoo! have a great time & can't wait to see your on the road scrapbook!! :)

Ali...I am reminded that I have my own little scrapbook/notebook sitting on my scrap table for the next time I travel somewheres. It probably won't be for a while but it was inspired by you. I love to keep little journals like that....and then read them after the trip and add photos. so fun! Have a great time on your adventure!!

Have a good trip. Maybe it can be a goal of yours and your hubby's to have a business trip include some family time? (:

Just stumbled across your blog. I was looking for an "info about me" page, and I don't see one. I've got a 9 yr old son with HFA/hyperlexia. I recently got my M.Ed. and am completing my BCBA. The autism life takes you down a different path! But it is a glorious journey. Maybe not as glorious as the one you're on now, but that's OK! I suppose it lasts longer!
Have a great trip!

Wooo hoooo!!! Can not wait.... doing the happy dance. Can you see me dancing. LOL.
Girl you are gunna be dancing and singing and just doing the happy stuff when you get to Australia. You don't need to sleep whilst you are here....LOL.
See you in 13 days! xoxo

We can hardly wait till you get here!!!!!!!
See you in Sydney (in ALL of your classes):)
