Last/Final Note

Depending on how busy I'll be, or the type of internet access I have, I'm planning to keep a twice weekly update on my/this blog. So keep checking for new stuff & feel free to keep the comments & poll voting coming.

If you're unsure on how to comment, there is a 'Commenting' post in the Blog Archive on the right (beneath the polls)  or under Labels =====>

You can use these (archive & label links) to find any posts you may have: missed, want to see again, or need information off of.

At the bottom of the page is also a 2010 calendar I have created which will enable you to see every scheduled event.

At the top of the page under the Title, is also a series of tabs so far labelled: Home; and Contact. Me. These will link you to separate 'pages'.

The main events however (including pics, polls & exciting stuff) will be posted on the main page 'home'.


PHOTOS:

I am using Picasa for my main photo storage. To stop any of the creepy stalkers stealing my piccys, I've protected them with a secret link. I will email you the link for each album (or post it on Facebook) & if I don't have your email, feel free to scab it off mum & dad  :)

Hidden Item

Ok so a lot of people want a lot of different things hidden in the photos  :s

This means that my suitcase and spare time will probably be devoted to thinking of and carrying around these items...

Not exactly the fun idea I had in mind.

So, back to the drawing board...

I think that something everyone can agree on is the idea of something Australian (that way I'm representing you all and taking a bit of home with me).

'But'... what to take?

- A toy (kangaroo or other in which I can put in suspicious poses)...?

- A flag (can be used in the background, to tie on things, a clothing accessory, etc)...?

- Both &/or 'anything' Australian that I might stumble across or take with me (sometimes the toy/teddy, sometimes the flag &/or clothing item, & sometimes a completely random Australian thing...?

You decide  :)

Hidden Tokens...

Ok so I'm liking the idea to incorporate everyone into this 'hidden token' thingy in my Topdeck Tour.

I'm thinking that in 'every' photo from my Topdeck tour, I will hide at least one persons token item.

Do you like this idea?

Now here comes the fun part... If you want to be part of this then leave me ideas of what you want to be hidden for you.

E.g. Emily = Tinkerbell, Gillian & Collin = something Scottish, jet skiing, WD40, or cats? (lol), Dad = photography, Sarah = something Aussie, etc, etc.

If for example Emily chooses Tinkerbell, within random photos posted up, there might be a Tinkerbell in it somewhere. E.g. a pendant, on clothing, on a poster in the background, the name of a store, a book, etc, etc. Some may be blatantly obvious like a shirt with Tinkerbell's huge head on it. Others might be a little more cryptic like a bell with 'tinker' engraved on it,  or there might even possibly be a chocolate or lolly named after it? Etc, etc.

So leave a comment or mention to me sometime of what you would like to have hidden to represent you over there with me  :)  To make it easier, you can pick a specific item (toy, etc.) instead of anything and everything that might represent the 'theme'.

Topdeck Tour!

I've been calling this my "Contiki Tour" purely because 'Contiki Tours' was the first tour group I looked at and it had a catchy name lol.

But the tour I've now officially booked and paid for is with Topdeck (like the chocolate... mmm...)

???

It's a 36 day tour through western Europe and stretches as east as Turkey. It covers 18 countries. I mostly chose this trip because it also includes 4 days among the Greek Islands!

Just over $5,000 - missed all the early-bird specials by a few weeks  :(

QUESTION:

I'm wanting to incorporate something into all of my photo's during this trip for all of you back home. Sort of like a 'Where's Wally' but with something else besides Wally. Lol.

I'm stuck for ideas so:  "What do you think?"

Leave comments or vote in the poll  =======>

on your ideas of what to hide in all of my Topdeck Tour pics.

Here's some ideas I've had so far...

- A plush toy of somekind?

- Something Australian?

- Maybe a different Australian thing in every photo?

- A piece of clothing like a belt or scarf?

Let me know your ideas...

COMMENTING!

Ok. So this is going to be my main form of communication with most of you back in QLD (haha). So here's a rundown of how you can leave comments. You can also email me at the given address below (if you don't quite get how the commenting works lol).

I've set the page up so you don't have to subscribe or have an account to view or comment. So feel free to test it out & have a play around (I can always delete it if you stuff it up lol)
