Another fund-raising Tool from People to People

It may seem crass to ask for gifts, but this is a great way to let people know that instead of traveling to the mall they can help you travel to Europe!

http://invite.peopletopeople.com/give/
It is a way to send e-cards to people who know and love you so that you can ask for their assistance as you raise funds for your trip.

Delegates in Australia

A variety of views of our delegates from the Inland Northwest
doing a bunch of different activities during our travels in Australia.

People and Places in Australia


A hodge-podge of place in Australia and some of the people we met. It was an amazing trip filled with new sights and new experiences....definitely life changing.

Astro-Man travels to Australia


During our trip to Australia I took a variety of photos with my little astronaught...that had been on my school keychain. I put in one Seattle picture and my sister, Sharon, reading to him because LITERACY is important.
Otherwise...the rest of the photos are from our travels in Australia...what a ride!
