Happy New Year to all of you!
This is just a quick note to let you know we have safely made it to Ozzy. I just marveled at the Sydney fireworks last night and am now already in 2008! Fancy that! And some of you guys are still hanging in 2007!
I don’t think there is a better place to be than Sydney for New Year’s Eve. But really what matters is who you spend the time with, not where you are. Luckily I even spent it with a loving family member, my cousin Beate. We had not seen each other for 3 years so we had plenty to catch up on!
By the way, the two tall travelers have parted ways at this point. Aaron has decided to go back early, for good and Chelsea reasons, and has headed up North to Brisbane on his own. He is counting his days to see his girl friend!
So from this part of the world I wish you that you are strong and courageous as you walk your journey this year!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Sammy. I like your closing comment “I wish you that you are strong and courageous as you walk your journey this year!” Good wishes for the year/day ahead as well.
Hey Samy!
Wünsch dir ein frohes neues Jahr! Hab mich grad das erste mal auf eurer Homepage umgesehen ==> echt cool! (Hab das mit der Homepage bis jetzt noch nicht so richtig verstanden;-)
Freut mich sehr zu sehen, dass es euch gut geht und dass ihr richtig viele Sachen erlebt (mein Favorit sind die Sky Dive fotos).
Du gehst mir hier in Salzburg echt ab, freue mich schon, wenn du wieder zurück kommst!!
Wünsch dir nochmals ein fohes neues Jahr, ein Jahr, das wenn du darauf zurück blicken wirst, es wert war, es gelebt zu haben!
Gottes Segen
dein Freund Max
