Hi Everyone! Well I'm off to New Zealand tomorrow night(Technically 4 am Saturday morning, but I will be very busy from now on.) So I have 2 fic's for the plane printed off, Amy's new one and the rest of TJ's prom fic and a note book for fic ideas... NZ is a beautiful country and I am looking forward to the holiday, and so is my Darling Eagle. They do have lots of sheep over there, so I should be able to get myself a new pair of Ugg boots and a woolly jumper... So I will see you all when I get back!

Have fun, Ebony! We will miss you!!

Have a great time, Ebony! We'll miss you! Just come back with a bunch of new fic ideas! (Don't forget to investigate that Frodo fic I mentioned... )

Are you trying to get Ebony to write a Gatch/BOTP/Frodo fic? I was wondering if she could do one that involved all the sheep in NZ. (Zoltar is stealing all the sheep and sheering them to use to make clothing for his new troops. Only to discover that wool shrinks when it gets wet. Thus his troops .......) That is all I can think of right now, but I am sure it could be fun.

Cloud dancer that might be one to work on!mmm I'll take notes while in NZ, good plot! I'll have to put the Kiwi accent in there as well....

Be back soon, Ebony!And with lot of fanfic ideas.....

Have a safe trip and we'll leave the light on for ya... sorry it's a stupid commercial plug... anyhow.. hope it's fun and let us know when your back safely!!

Hey Amy! Get your self a bookshelf in the fic library! I'll ask for you sweetie! CEP can you please give Amyltrer a shelf in the Fic Library so she can post all her wonderful stories here!please please (I'm begging this is embarrassing) ... I'm flying out tonight!

Sure thing m'dear

Ohhh, thanks Ebony, Inever figured (how) to post them here! I hoped you liked the last one. #goes to post the ficcies#

Yay! Amy's posting ficcies! Now they'll all be up and running when our Ebony Swanne returns!

Have a great holiday! I plan to go to NZ one day. Well, for more than 1 day, obviously.

Well I'm Back! That's right I just got off the plane from over the ditch! (That's what we call the pond between Aust and NZ!) We were the last ones to leave customs,at Australia's end...to leave... Bloody Aussies and duty free Alcohol holding them up!...but had to get our 4.5 ltrs, we had orders to fill from friends! let alone our spirits... They nearly closed up shop for the night at customs, they we came through...no line ups! They even expressed us through so they could go home ROTFL! So that was my experience in international air flights so far! Ohhhh, Amy you have a shelf! GO GIRL and thanks CEP! Bahhhhhh Bahhhh Baaaahhhh LOL We had a great time...my Darling Husband thinks he's the Condor on winding mountain roads! I was waiting for the BIRD GO! as we flew down them!

Yeah! We're glad to have you back, Ebony! Hope you had a wonderful time!!!

Wow, sounds like fun! My Eagle thinks he's a Condor in the car too, and he drives a sleek blue sportscar to prove it... I can't wait to hear what you've come up with for the Frodo and sheep-shearing fics!!!!

Good ol' Ebony is back. Yupiiii . So, did you enjoy your flight?

Welcome back Ebony. Sounds like you had a good time. I had to LOL (I think the people here think I am crazy) Your description made me remember some of the rides I had while being driven on the narrow, twisting roads in England.

I have been told England has some really winding roads... I get motion sickness some times, not much fun then! Strong antihistines (however you spell it) are great! Well back to fic writing now!

I get motion sickness when I am on the ocean. Something about all the up and down movement from the waves. Hahaha. I have been told next time I go I should just take Gravol (a brand named drug used to prevent motion sickness, as well as nausea.) Shrug, we will see if I ever get invited again.

Oh, Ebony, based on your newest chapter, I'd say your vacation agreed with you!!!!!!

Yes it did!TJ CD as for the motion sickness, I did have one full day of it on my last and only cruise so far...not a pretty site! But after that I improved with a needle and the perscripition drugs...and a cocktail on deck the next day! HEHE

Try the small roads north of Kingston, Ontario. They go around every single no-longer-existing tree and seem to like the tops of hills; not surprising, as there's precious little flat land, and that's used for farming or it's swampy. And I keep forgetting not to lean down and concentrate on the CDs or cookies or maps; seem to start every trip in that area with doing that then feeling not good for the next twenty minutes.

Ugh... I did those roads once... never again...

Twice a year, every year, in a mini van, including Christmas.

As far as England roads depends where you travel some are not so bad. My hubby gets motion/travel sickness also and uses Kwells. Crivket sounds like you love winding roads, either that or you are a glutton for punishment?

When it comes o jolty roads, Romania is the heaven...er, hell of all. I like the feelling of riding rodeo though, but is recomended to skip the meal if you have a long way to drive!

Amy, it sounds like you travel around in a Galactor mecha!

Actualy, even my ten year old car is waaay better than that. But I suspect it is because the roads here look like after WWII.

With the grandparents where they do, we don't have much choice! Amy, I hear you on Romania. Some of the tales my inlaws told, ouch!

Yep, we have Count Dracula and god-awful roads here...hmm, what else?

Count Egobossler, of course!!!!!

Actually I discovered Ego is the cousin of Count Dracula. What I still haven't figured out is what the red thing he sips from his snifter is!

now theres an idea for a story crossover of when Ego meets his cousin dracula

I've been thinking at it too, but I'm busy at the moment! I will take care Ego visits his cousin one day, though!

Other than the most deadly snakes in the world...and some shddy drivers I really can't complain about the conditions here...you have to go looking of the crocodiles...Maddy couls tell you more about them being a Queenslander!

You also have a few nasty spiders I know my husband hates them all no matter the size (yep even the little ones in the UK which I found strange at first considering his mother was an arachnologist and kept spiders to milk for their venom.

Yes ...red back spiders are the ban of my existence! Once they set up a nest the bastards are hard to kill! If Katse made a red back spider mecha he may have had a chance!

Hey, Katse *did* make a spider mecha in my goon fic... and it nearly destroyed the GP! No venom, though... hmmmmm......
