A holiday from the holiday

Rachel from Sisu giving Elizabeth a ride

So we're still at the Marina at Emerald Bay. There is a forecast of strong winds from the northeast and if we move down to Georgetown, there's a good chance we won't get to shore for four or five days because it'll be too dangerous in the dinghy. So we've rented a car for the week, during which time Lisa's mom and dad and Lisa's sister Ally and her husband Mark and little Stella will come here. This way we get to still see them as we can drive down to their villas.

It's a bit tough saying goodbye to all of our friends, and the kids' friends too as they make their way to Georgetown but we'll get there by the end of next week anyway.

The snorkeling here is fantastic and this is such a fabulous spot, it's not hard to stay.

Molly and Jack came, bearing gifts of Shreddies and Rice Krispies - real treats here given their cost. Elizabeth-Anne and Aidan had also saved up Christmas money and other money they had brought and had ordered an iPod touch and a PSP Go.

Elizabeth's new iPod has a feature on it called Facetime. She called her Aunt Shauni and Rebecca on Rebecca's iPod it was so cool - better quality than Skype.

It was great to have a face to face conversation with them.

Well, back to school work today, a Saturday - we're trying to get up to date before our family arrives so we can miss a bit of school when they're here.

Reg is registering to get online with his courses so that's working out well too.
