Journal: Got up at 7:45am after a poor night’s sleep and tried to ring John Cederholm again.  No answer.  Tried to ring Barb.  No answer. I then spent another 45 minutes working on my itinerary then tried calling John at work.  He’s on holiday till next Monday.  Then rang Barb and talked for a while.  We decided she would book me a flight from Boston to Melbourne to arrive on September 1st I also gave her some proposed meeting places and dates to give Bo.  She sounded though she’ll be glad when I get home.  After cooking myself breakfast (Jayne was out), I spent the morning planning, washing and drying out damp gear.  Jayne returned at 11am and then left at 1pm to take her in-laws to Boston to fly home and collect her parents.  I spent the afternoon eating, watching TV and doing chores.  I then cooked my own dinner as Jayne wasn’t expected back until 9:30pm.  After dinner, I finished chores and packed up ready for tomorrow’s departure.  Jayne arrived home at 9:40pm and I spent a few hours talking to her jet-lagged parents and watching TV before going to bed at midnight.
