it's OFFICIAL..we are UNEMPLOYED

Well the time has come, rather quickly we'll say, to an end of our desert life.  We have spent the last 5 months working (hard I might add!) so that for the next two months we will be on our vacation from the working vacation. 
We will spend Aug 1-6 in Melbourne
6-22 in Thailand
22-sept 6 in Vietnam
6-10 sept in Sydney
10-24 sept in BC
then landing in Toronto, after 15 flights, 6 (or more-we'll see!) countries and lots of laughs and memories!
We will try to update along the way, but internet is not always the greatest in south east asia...so until we speak again...BON VOYAGE!!!!!!!

JOY RIDE!

This past week we have had another visitor at Chez Sarah and Tony!  Erin my friend from Sydney has joined us for a long weekend!  We have done lots of fun stuff- Uluru walks, Kata Tjuta walks, sunsets, sunrises but my favourite was the joy ride in the helicopters.  Litterally breath taking trip.  It's amazing to see the vast desert and the huge rock formations from the air. There really is no other way to see it.  These are just some of the pictures I took while up there with Ayers Rock Heli!  Tristan (our pilot) took us upfor this morning sunrise, here are just a few of the pictures of the beautiful morning, some great colour,the amazing views of Kata Tjuta and a rainbow!  Cant really ask for more then that! Enjoy!
At the Airport preping for take off...the one on the right is our ride!
