So been lurking around for a while and figured that it's about time I signed up and became a member. Not sure if I qualify as a slow traveller sitting somewhere in the middle ground. Am currently in the process of planning a 6 1/2 week trip to Italy and Malta in June/July this year and am finding all the information on these boards really useful.

Cheers

Welcome from another newbie also from Sydney.
Whereabouts in Sydney are you from?

Thanks for the welcome guys.
pipk - Am from Sutherland, in southern Sydney.
Am loving all aspects of the site, both the forums and the slow trav articles. So much information, so little time!

Hi Krissyg,
I am at the opposite end!!! Wahroonga, near Hornsby. Oh well, I guess a casual coffee is out of the question!!!
Enjoy the site, lots of terrific info.

Hello to Krissyg and pipk,

So glad krissyg you decided to stop lurking and join the fun.

And to pipk, welcome.

I am starting to think that the Australian contingency should put a GTG together. There is definitely party potential over on that side of the Pacific.

As a matter of fact, where are John and Leslie these days, and the rest of the Auzzie's - if I may call you that?

Regardless, welcome, step in and enjoy the company.

Wendy
