Thanks sooooo much

To my new friends in Indiana.

Thanks so much for being such fantastic people and making my stay in Indiana such an enjoyable one. I would like to especially thank my host families Joyce, Phil & Ellen, Daniel & Barbara and Kristy & Neil for opening your homes to me and making me feel like one of the family.

I have enjoyed this experience immensely and look forward to maybe seeing some of you here in Australia one day :O)

I am now back in Australia and will return to work on Monday.

Thanks again to all of you and the Rotary Foundation as without all of your support this exchange would not have been possible/

I miss you all.

A Big Thanks.

I wanted to say thank you to all my hosts that looked after me so well during my stay with them. Trent and Mary, Larry and Norma, Floyd and Betty-Lou, Bob and Marcia and Andy and Sarah. I had such a fantastic time staying with you all and getting to know a little bit about how you live. Thank you for having me stay in your homes, you are all wonderful generous people and I would be very excited to return the favour if any of you wish to visit Australia some day.



A thank you also to all the other wonderful people that I met that made the trip so special. So many Rotarians did so much work to make our schedule busy and interesting. There was never a dull moment and the team were all exhausted by the end of the trip. We learnt so much, not only about things related to our vocations but also about your community and your country. GSE is without a doubt as much a cultural exchange as it is about vocational exchange.



I hope to return to Indiana some day and bring my family so that they may appreciate some of what I experienced!



Cheers, Matt Crozier

Settling back after GSE

Well.. what can I say.. I've hit the ground with a thud.. a good dose of reality with work and a nasty dose of the flu since I got back. But that just makes me miss Indiana all the more.

I had a wonderful time visiting the big cities.. but found it was a lot lonlier time for me.

So a big thankyou to all of my host familes.. Mary and Dave, Steve and Beth, Greg and Sue and Kristy and Neil.. I can not say how much I appreciated your kindness, generosity and friendship. And of course I will email you all individually shortly.

To all my other special Rotarian friends.. again thankyou for the wonderful time you showed us.. And hope I get to see you again.
Cheers,
Nat

Vancouver airport

Hi All

Killing some time at the airport. Am a bit sad to leave Canada as I have had a great time here. Can't really believe that I will be back in Australia by this time next week. The time has gone so quick. I wanted to thank everyone that has made the last 7 weeks so enjoyable and I am so happy to have so many new friends across the world.

You never know I may get bitten by the big travel bug and come back!!! Alasaka is certainly on the cards as I did not make in there and the US is very close by :O)

Take care all

Cath

Last day in Canada

Hi Everyone

Well I am a bit sad as I leave Canada tomorrow and only have about a week left now. I'm off to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon (yet to be planned) and hopefully back via San Diego to LA.

Had a fabulous time in Whistler and I went zip-lining, white water rafting and kayaking. I also spent 2 hours on the Blackcomb mountain just looking at the scenery and watching the people ski and snow board. Hope you are all well.

See some of you soon

Cheers

Cath
