Loved every minute of it. It just feels soooo good to be back in Australia !!!! The bad news is, I have had kidney stone surgery in a Melbourne Hospital. It was a very painful attack. In the hospital they removed the stone, and put in a stent. Can you imagine how I feel right now ??? So sorry Sydney. Do we have to cancel again ???
