R and R in Fayetteville. After all the excitement of driving about 10000km in 6 weeks we have enjoyed staying put for the past 5 days. During this time we have enjoyed visiting the local malls, drinks in the evening at Charlie Mike's Bar and sampling different restaurants from Korean to Southern Chicken to Mexican. Heather has got back into training in an effort to be able to last the distance in this year's Bridge to Brisbane on 5 August 2007! Whew!!

JB, Betty and Bryan took off on Saturday for a work commitment in Oklahoma City. Betty is the manager of the JFK Special Forces Museum at Fort Bragg. She is a one-woman powerhouse! I helped her load the Chevy cargo van with merchandise to be sold at the Special Forces Convention over in Oklahoma. She can fit more stuff into a small space than anyone else in the world...amazing!
We have been left in charge of the house, Sachiko the cat and JB's lawn. Ian's rain dance worked on the first night and the lawn got a really good soaking.
Sachiko is 14 years old and is recovering from being very ill. He is fighting fit again now and eating like a horse - 4 cans of cat food in one day! Betty also feeds the neighbourhood feral cats and we have discovered a mother and four kittens living under the trees in the back yard.
Across the road neighbours, Joan and Chris, have kindly offered to drive us to the train station tonight so that we can board the Amtrak Silver Meteor bound for New York where we will experience 4th July celebrations.

Hi there, how will you two ever settle back down in layed back Mooloolaba after such sights and swashbuckling adventures?? What an incredible time I've had just reading of your travels and reading them over telephone to Mum who says Hello and asked if there's enough beer in a "Micro" brewery to satisfy Ian's thirst! I can't imagine either of you picking up a golden dubloon and running up the beach to hand it in either so looking forward to seeing all the booty next time we visit. Take it easy. xx Kerri and Mark.
