Went to the Star Ballroom in Rockingham. Theme was the Wild West. I took the easy way out and went as a cowboy [not as in Kuta]. Jeans and a check shirt. Emiko went as a saloon girl in a sexy red dress she bought in Jl Dhyana Pura. Had a great time with endless dancing. Happy friendly crowd with good music and atmosphere.
Left the dance after midnight and drove to Perth airport to pick up Emiko's daughter Sumika and her boyfriend. They had just flown back from Thailand. They were on the beach in Phuket when the tsunami struck, but were lucky and unharmed. They were unable to contact us until 6PM the following day, so we were very relieved to hear they were OK.
Got to bed at 3AM, woke up about 9.30 to a scorching hot day, so got in the pool to try to revive ourselves. [Sounds a bit like Bali doesn't it?]
Happy New Year everyone.
