With the Chios in London

Next stop: London. After 14 1/2 hours from Melbourne to Abu Dhabi, 7 3/4 hours on to London was nothing :) Big thank you to Chris for picking us up from Heathrow, and an even bigger thank you to him, Emilynn, Ashley and Caitlin for their wonderful hospitality.

The girls had a lot of fun together.
The cutest little girls!

The Big Trip - first up, Dubai!

Bubs' 40th was celebrated with a month-long epic (well, epic by our standards anyway, as opposed to the lucky people who travel for a year) holiday. The flight from Melbourne to Abu Dhabi wasn't exactly eagerly anticipated, as we couldn't be sure how KRW would react/behave for 14 1/2 long hours. Fortunately she was wonderful, probably due to having a TV at her disposal pretty much the whole time. So we got to Abu Dhabi in one piece and then took the Etihad coach to Dubai.

Our little dancer!

This footage is a few months old, but still good fun. How cute is she :) KRW is actually starting dance classes next weekend. If she can overcome her initial inhibitions, that is! She's often resistant to new things or people, but once she gets going, it's hard to stop her...
