LVBelle, I hope your parents are enjoying their holiday/vacation Anyway, TDG, everytime you call uk fan 'Kiz' I think someone's talking to or about me ... (Kez) I might have to fight you for the nickname, uk fan ...

Originally Posted By debtee haha Kez! I'm not a Spider lover I just think the Huntsman gets a raw deal especially as they don't bite humans. They don't bite Deb, no worries!
Originally Posted By irishfan I thought they do bite on occasion debtee, but they just dont kill...which is a relief!
Originally Posted By debtee ohhh my vet told me they are like Daddy long legs they can't penetrate our skin! Sorry!

Originally Posted By irishfan You can always break the trip up, if your coming from the Uk, how about a couple of days in Hong Kong, a visit to Hong Kong Disneyland etc. I have flown direct from the Uk once, which included an hour stop off in Bangkok, 24 hours inside a 747 is not the nicest of experiences, but when you fly in over the beautiful beaches of Sydney you realise it's was worth it!

Rereading the email, I think they were just stopped there on one of their excursions, they have been staying in Cairns the last few nights. LibertyBelle, they're having a great time except my dad tore his calf muscle the other day and is on crutches now which is going to make for a very uncomfortable trip home. I can't wait for them to be back, I've missed talking to my mommy every day!
