Your wedding ideas sound wonderful I wish you all the very best. I've 
had a great deal with Telstra as well when I changed my mobile from 
CDMA which is closing to what I thought was the getting the new 
Gwhatever system BUT that was only for people on plans I'm on pre 
paid and I can't pick up signals in places I could before and they 
don't really care.

Love them and to add insult to injury they wanted to keep my credit I 
won that one.
Your new house looks WOW! will you have to organize the garden?

Enjoy you trip to those wonderful places
