Welcome to our second blog. So a lot has happened since we last posted. Ev's been back up to Townsville for her Dress fitting, and met with the florist and room decorators. Also our Save the Date cards have been sent out and look fantastic. Thank you so much Bel and Kal - We are very proud of your design. Fi, Bel and Emily met in Brisbane a couple of weeks ago and they found their Bridesmaid dresses and shoes in only 2 sessions of shopping. What a miracle! Ev still hasn't found 'the right' shoes yet. And huge news, Our Honeymoon flights are Booked.
Our Honeymoon Map, originally uploaded by Dan & Ev's Photos.
This will bring up a new page of our first departure. Click ‘Next Stop’ under the map to see where we’re headed to next. We’ve added a few scratch notes under the map of some of these locations as ideas for things we can do in each area like day trips or specific things we definitely would like to see.

You may have noticed we have a few things on the blog you can play around with.
Our photos: In the right margin we have a slide show of pictures from our flickr account. If you select a photo it will take you to see one of the many sets we’ve created. To see all of the sets click on ‘Dan & Ev’s Photostream’ and you will see our latest pictures we have uploaded and categories to the right. Feel free to play around and check out the other sets. It’s impossible for you to delete anything or mess anything up so enjoy. Click on the Slideshow button (top right) to view pictures in full screen. We’ll let you know as things are added and change the slideshow regularly.
Comments: At the end of our blogs there is a 'comments' link. You can leave an Anonymous comment or you can select 'Name' and type yourself in (you don’t need a URL to do this) - We’d love to know who’s reading our blogs and what you think of things. You don’t need to sign up for anything to leave comments and you can preview your comment before submitting it.
World Clock: This is a cool gadget so that you know our time wherever we are and we know your time... and that way we won’t be making phone calls to you at 3am just to say "Hi". Unfortunately it resets to US time but just click on the country/time zones and you’ll know exactly what time it is anywhere.
Convertisseur Universel Devises: This may come in handy for us to keep our budget on track. When we were in China we paid $50USD instead of 50yuan or ($7USD). That cabbie had a very good day thanks to us.
Web Links: These are sites we and you may find helpful while we’re away. Our Travel Map link through travellerspoint.com has been added and set to our itinerary page.
Well enjoy, and we’ll keep you posted.
Love Ev & Dan.

ooooo.......does this mean you'll be here to celebrate my birthday on the 31st August????
Awweesommmee Ev! you too are so lucky! are you taking a laptop with you?
Yeah Sam, we will be, and didn't even realise it. How cool! Can't wait to see you and boys. Start planning something awesome!
Yes we are Bel, we're taking a small Acer laptop with us and a harddrive. And even better, we can pre-type a blog directly from Windows 7 and just upload it when we're at the internet, or upload photos and text directly from flickr. There are so many other sites that upload directly to blogger, I'm surprised how easy it is. Do you know of any other widgets or gadgets that would be good for us to use?
