Everything's set now! Mum, Naomi, Grace & I are now booked to leave sydney tommorrow (thurs) morning 7:15am. We arrive Casino at 6:44pm where we catch connecting bus to Surfers Paradise & arrive there 9:10pm. Will ask if Robina Station is on the way so we can get off and wait for you, otherwise we'll just go straight to Surfers Paradise. I will call you when we get close ke?
See you there Thursday evening.

Anyway I would like to thank you and Stacey for the opportunity you gave me
to accompany Niki to Ocean Is.I could not find the proper word to express
how grateful I am.To tell you the fact I really enjoyed the trip and I know that I will never forget it.I had so many things to share with you
but I'm sure you have heard them from Niki.
Thank you again and I'm looking forward for more trips in future if any.
I wish you a very prosperous New Year and May God bless you all.
