For three weeks in April/May 2009 four intrepid adventurers will embark on a Rotary sponsored GSE (Group Study Exchange) from Sydney Australia to Arizona in the USA. So without any further ado, let the blogging begin....

We're finally here!

G'day,

A quick blog from Gary and Jan's house in Phoenix Arizona to say that we're here and we're all settling in well. We went to 'A Night in the Tanks' last night and celebrated Ainslie's birthday for the second time. (I think her second birthday was a bit more exciting than her first which mostly involved sitting bolt upright feeling like a sardine in economy class!!!)

Our transport vehicle has now been christened 'The Party Bus' and the Team is determined to make every minute of the GSE fun and lively.

My highlights so far have been seeing the lights of Phoenix from the mountains, meeting lots of great Arizonans and riding in Jan's red convertible which we now refer to as The Leadermobile (because the Team Leader gets to ride in it ;))

Off to an Arizona Diamondbacks game shortly with Ainslie, Andrew and some local Rotarians. Denise is off to a local Rotary fundraiser which involves drinking tequilla?! Can't wait to chomp into my second All-American hot dog at the ball game.

See y'all soon.

Jenny
