Default P.S I got married!

After a couple of PM's from my surprised forum friends I realise that I haven't told everyone that I finally got that second ring on my finger and one on his!

So to those people that I have shared much AFF related fun over the years, I thought I should update you and let you know I am now a happily married woman, yippee for me!

Me and My Dad


Me, My Husband and My Car




But I'm still no closer to owning my Pink Pursuit 250... :P

Congrats. I'm under 40 and have been married for 16 years (together for 20) - it's not all fun and games, but it's more good than bad, and that's what counts. Hope you have as much luck as I have (actually, luck's got nought to do with it!!).

Thanks Rod!

Yeah we did, absolutely loved it! We were in The Sebel right in Port Vila and found it great to be able to explore beyond the hotel everyday. We agree with you on how great the beef is... mmm we would go back just for the steak! We went on the round island tour like you suggested and it was fantastic. Also went to Lelepa for a day trip. I'll email you some pictures!
