And they're off to the land downunder!

At precisely 3:33pm Team OZ took off from Detroit headed for the land down under. Manish and DG Stan were there at the airport to wish them well. I especially enjoyed listening to Katy's send off this morning with people both from Chatham and from Australia phoning in to wish her well, giving her advise on everything from the food that she'll be eating to the way the toilet flushes! I especially loved the junior joke...that was my son Carter and the joke??? What do you call a lazy baby kangaroo? A pouch potato! What's ahead for them now? About 20 hours of flight time! We look forward to hearing about their adventures through the blog!
