Visit with Jamie, Elisa, and Mary Beth.

My oldest and dearest girlfriends visit to Melbourne was everything I had hoped it would be and more.  With only one week with Jamie and Elisa, and two with MB, things continue to fly by at an exceedingly speedy pace.  While the girls were here we had a terrific time exploring Melbourne and on our Great Ocean Road trip.

Mary Beth and Prior at the "best tram stop in Melbourne"

The girls vacation wouldn't have been the same if wasn't for all my wonderful friends who reconfirmed that Aussie's are super friendly and hospitable by showing us an excellent time daily.  

I had the Monday the girls arrived off of work and Tuesday was a state holiday, the Melbourne Cup Day; the race that stops a nation, but I was up bright and early the rest of the week!  I also took a three day weekend for the Lorne trip.  Work has been busy and going really well.  Thankfully they are flexible because Neal arrives on Thursday and they are letting me take a couple of days off for his visit as well.

I posted a couple of photo albums compiled from a sampling of the 900 shots Elisa, Mary Beth and I took during the holiday.
