well so im back in perth and scotland seems like a dream that never really happened in real life. even though we went under such bad circumstances, i had a good time. it was great meeting up with my aunt and uncle and cousins. but i never want to have another death bring us together. i mean, how lame is it that we only got together because my granny died. that's ridiculous. why didnt we ever go over just for a visit, or they come over? sure i know it's expensive. but once every 5 years would have been good. i mean, what about phone calls and letters and stuff? at least this time round we all exchanged emails and stuff. so now i get to talk to my cousin on msn. woohoo! wicked cool.. :)
there's not much to say about the trip it's all explained in photos. but then again, even the photos wont do justice, but i reckon you'll get my drift.
at our first stop over, driving down from london to scotland..
touching down in london soon!!
and that's us flying over russia....
you can kinda tell we're sisters right?! heheeheheh...

my mom was a lil bit sleeepie..so dont mind her..either that, or she has really tiny eyes for a white woman..maybe my dad got to her...

graham and i.. we kinda just clicked the minute we started talking..even though we'd only met when i was 4..and he was 2..and since then we hadnt talked.. balthough i reckon even at that age we werent talking.. hahahaah..cos he was probably too busy throwing mash potatoes on the wall
