Ombi in Fitchburg…Alex in New York

August 24, 2006by veryitchyfeet.comNo Comments

Such an early separation! Well, you know , we’re not the velcro twins, so we’re coping! Seriously, Alex left a few days ago, to be with his family in New York. His mum and little sister, Angie live there, and his older sister Karen, and two children, Denisse and Axel flew there a few days ago. Alex’s mum has taken time off work, and the others will be there until early September, so it’s like a big reunion. I am spending a few more days with Kobie, Liz and gorgeous baby Daniel, and then I will make my way to New York tomorrow.

I could say that I ahve been packing in my days with a million things, but you know……I have been relaxing, sleeping in(YES, you DID read correctly!), spending quality time with Kobie and her family and riding the bike(the indoors stationary one, and I am proud to say that I still have it in me to do an hour….and yesterday I did an hour and a quarter….just to prove to myself that I could!!!!). To be perfectly honest, after five years of running your own business, and a life style that is fuller than full on, this has been amazing!

Kobie and Liz have chosen Alex and I to be two of the Spiritual Advisors/ Godparents. Needless to say, we are stoked. Tonight we will have a little ceremony to honour this commitment, and I will also stand in for Alex. In the future, Liz and Kobie will have another ceremony, which will include everything and everone…..I feel very special, as I know that tonight is in honour of Alex and I who will not be able to be there. The honour is also, most importantly, to be able to impart some of life’s lessons on those that you love. I must say, I do feel very connected to little Daniel, and although I have mentioned the idea of kidnapping him, or popping him into my backpack, I don’t think that his parents are keen! Funny about that!

I know you are waiting for photos….that is Alex’s domain and they are coming soon!

Love and light

Ombi

Destination # 1 – Fitchburg…..

August 21, 2006by veryitchyfeet.comNo Comments

Where is Fitchburg you may ask? To be honest until Kobie and Liz moved here several years ago, I had not heard of it either! Who are Kobie and Liz? Just wait!!!!!!!

We left Melbourne on the morning of the 18th August, where QF93 took us to LA, in the US of A. Apart from going through our small backpacks like with a microscopic toothcomb, and the fact that it seemed to take forever, we seemed to have no problems. Not to be distressed or deterred by the airlines new anti-terror campaign of “no toothpaste, no gel, nothing in jars and bottles” number, the Queen of Toiletries (aka Ombi) was NOT to be defeated. Plaque- covered teeth I could deal with, cracked lips I could not….step in self-seal plastic bags….I grabbed one and smeared it with lip balm and shoved it in the back of my packpack……yes, it slipped through undetected, and we were both able to participate in the “un-cracked lips” experience!!!! So, who cares about those plaquey teeth!

Once in LA, there was a four and a half hour “lay-over” (Aussie translation – stop over), then followed by a five and a half hour flight, with American Airlines. I asked the Flight Attendant if they had any little tubes of toothpaste or moisturiser on board to which he replied, “Sorry Mam, those aren’t included on our domestic flight services”! What can I say!

We finally arrived at Boston airport at 9.30pm, on the same day as we left, due to the time difference, and were picked up by Kobie,Liz and baby Daniel. Kobie is one of my closest friends, for those of you that do not know, Liz is her partner, and Daniel their beautiful new 9 week old baby boy, and he is adorable. Then the one and a half hour drive back to Fitchburg. A quick snack and off to bed!

We were exhausted – heads hit pillows and we were out! Is anybody surprised that we woke up at midday the next day?
