It’s been all airports, hotels and travel for us this last month or two. After an epic holiday in South America (Hola Amigos!), Peta has this week been to Sydney for her induction into the new job and role. Of course, not wanting to be left at home alone, I have been summoned to Seattle [...]

The life and times of Team Kealey
Counting the sleeps ’til the 5th September
Posted in August 25th, 2007
Yes, that’s right. We are counting the sleeps now. Still a lot to get done before then, so for all the Kealey blog reading fans out there (ha ha … me so funny) thought I better give you a quick update so you can start living again and stop wondering if we fell of the face [...]
4 weeks to go & counting
Posted in August 8th, 2007
Tick tock …. only 4 weeks to go until we are boarding a plane for South America, and there is still plenty to be done.Â
Lucky for us we have most of our required gear/clothing thanks to previous trekking adventures and we’re happy to say they all still fit. We just had to purchase [...]

Translation …. Hello! Only thirteen weeks to go !! To South America that is …..
We started Spanish lessons at Ithica TAFE 6 weeks ago and are starting to get the basics – how to say our name, numbers, days of the weeks, months, how to say the time, etc. The most confusing part is something [...]
Autumn is here – what happened to Summer?
Posted in March 27th, 2007
It’s been some time since we’ve provided an update on what’s been happening in the Kealey household. Where to begin … the last 2 months have been an absolute whirlwind and our feet are just skimming the ground. The biggest news is of course is Brian started his new job on 1st February which saw [...]

The Kealey’s celebrated Christmas in Melbourne this year. Our trip started at 2 am on Friday 22nd December. Our flight from Brisbane was at 5 am – well we never thought it would be possible to suffer from jet lag for interstate travel but after 1 hours sleep for Brian and 2 hours sleep for [...]
Renovators Delight (as if!)
Posted in December 12th, 2006
Over the past two weeks the house has been in shambles while we’ve been getting the house excluding the bedrooms tiled. Our living furniture, including whitegoods have been living in the garage. We even managed to have a moment of “early settler time” when the washing machine was hooked up to the garden hose on [...]
Cotton Anniversary

We managed to take a day off and have a three day weekend to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. Traditionally this is the ‘cotton’ anniversary but I think the 12th year anniversary sounds more glamourous – it’s ’silk’ and after all we’ve been together for 12 years this year!
Noosa was the destination for our little [...]
