I'm positi...Hey, all you Lucky Jessaholics! <br /><br />I'm positively green with envy!! I know you'll all have a wonderful celebration, and {{{ HUGS}}} all around!!! I'm going to wear my pink shirt, so I'll be celebrating from afar!!! I can just see it now . . . a sea of blue, and then a bigger sea . . . of pink . . . pink, everywhere . . . pink flags, pink balloons, pink shirts, pink hats, pink hair (probably), and hopefully pink fireworks, and a beautiful pink sky . . . later in the day!!! Oh yes, and don't forget the pink champagne!!! <br /><br />Have a wonderful welcome home party, one that will last your whole lifetime . . . remembering this very special, very unique, time when Jesse was the catalyst that brought all you amazing, talented, people together, . . and, she managed to do it while circumnavigating, this beautiful planet!!! I have no doubt that you are all, now, life-long mates who will forever continue to appreciate and support one another!!! Thanks for letting me tag along in my own smaller way.<br /><br />Would love to be there to help you all celebrate, but will have to do the next best thing. I know that there is a webcam that shows Sydney Harbour, but it's on some sort of a delay, and it's from a distance, so probably won't be able to tell Ella's Pink Lady from all the other boats. I'll be watching for the Polaris too!! I'm not confident that there will be coverage here in the US, since we haven't heard anything yet . . . even though a couple of us have written requesting that they report on Jesse, and her progress . . . so far, nothing! Very disappointing!!! <br /><br />I can really almost feel the party mood you're all in right now, the euphoria is another thing that's contagious!!! Have a gobsmacking good time, and don't forget to report back to us unlucky ones, tellings us all about it when you return!! <br /><br />If possible, I hope someone will take lots of pictures and post them. I know Sam, you said you'd be doing that, but hope to see you in some of them too, so, the more the better! Also, hope that someone will be able to take a photograph of the flag that the McGrath's are planning on presenting to Jesse!!<br /><br />Only three more sleeps . . . or is that only three more nights when I don't get much sleep!!! (Actually, it'll be at least four more, because I'll be up "watching" the festivities on the web, and your days are my nights!!! Live it up!! Make it memorable!!! Give Jesse a big hug from the rest of us!!!<br /><br />Good Night you Gorgeous People!!<br /><br />Toodle Ooo, Pip-Pip!!! <br /><br />Carol Florida U.S.A.Carol Florida U.S.A.http://carolfloridausa.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610859024670586772.post-45515839377659261312010-05-10T21:40:29.075+10:002010-05-10T21:40:29.075+10:00@Sally, how many beautiful artworks you did here! ...@Sally, how many beautiful artworks you did here! Wow, as our Jesse would say...<br />@Magpie, sorry, but I think I was trapped only once by the blog's publishing delay, and it was only two blogs, and not in the early days. Btw, it doesn't matter! and Congrats for your quick shooting!!!<br />@HomeSweetBoat, finally you're a lucky one, as Jessica decided to postpone her arrival especially for you, so you will be back from your cruise!!! You are spoilt, my dear! <br />@All the Jessaholics family... Cheers. We must all be bubbling with happiness, savouring these last days as Jessica is doing. PAS! Though I am still worried that her AIS could suddenly fail in the middle of tha big ships' traffic. I can't wait knowing her crossing the finish line and enter through the heads, triumphally.

Good amenities, nice walks close by, but the best part is that we have 4 bars of signal for the Wireless Broadband to keep in touch with Jessica and you all. Beautiful day here, 23 degs fine and sunny we are in shorts and T-shirts. We can't wait for the rest of you to join us and start the Jessaparty. Tomorrow we meet Janelle at Circular Quay for a day at Taronga Zoo and will check out "Mr Shuffles" the miracle baby elephant.<br />Cheers to all, and a safe trip to those coming to Sydney for "J Day" on Saturday.<br /><br />Toodle-Pip to all<br /><br />Cheers from Faye and Max.Faye and Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11484664264276420421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610859024670586772.post-64260885614844214272010-05-10T12:34:41.137+10:002010-05-10T12:34:41.137+10:00Collette,

Well, the grand fi...Hi Everyone in 'holicland,<br /><br />Well, the grand finale of Jesse's voyage is nigh. By this time next week, hopefully, Jesse will be on dry land, albeit concrete, and probably wearing her wobbly boots!<br /><br />Nutralady, I feel for you, it must be a really frustrating tome for you. Be sure to watch the Ten network on Saturday, we'll give you a big wave and blow you a kiss.<br /><br />As I speak Janell is in the air on her way to Oz...what a lady she is. I guess you are still checking in with us here Janell, so please enjoy your flight as much as possible. The only good thing about it from my point of view is that is doesn't take 20hrs like it does to London!<br /><br />Faye and Max, you're also on your way today, so please drive and arrive safely.<br /><br />Jesse's blog has over 1000 comments, a huge reaction from around the world regarding that rediculous purposely-timed hogwash about a record or some such thing. Thank heavens I've already forgotton the woman's name.<br /><br />If Jesse is not making a record, well, she's certainly making history! <br /><br />In light of that, you really can't have one without the other.<br /><br />HOW GOOD DOES IT GET????<br /><br />Todole-pip for now,<br />Collette xxCollette Cole, Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11873198180824073520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610859024670586772.post-10335148050906314662010-05-08T09:50:25.559+10:002010-05-08T09:50:25.559+10:00Me again.

She is finally after all this time getting off the back pages of the paper if she's even featured at all. The Advertiser here in Adelaide have blatantly ripped off her blog and pictures when they've bothered to put anything.<br /><br /> Looks like I won't make Sydney which is very disappointing $$ + health but that's OK I'll have my own celebration here hopefully they'll cover it live on TV and I can celebrate with the blog family online I'm sure Jesse's blog will go in to meltdown on that day !!

What a great girl she is, aye? Gives hope for the future of our country with young people such as Jessica. If she never does another thing, that's absolutely ok! She's already accomplished more than some ever will in their entire lifetime.<br /><br />Somehow though, I think perhaps this is just the beginning for this intrepid and brave young woman!<br /><br />wishing everyone a safe, heatlhy and happy weekend! <br /><br />HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to the Mum's!<br /><br />Cheers and toodle - pip!<br /><br />Soldier's Mum :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-610859024670586772.post-35214382192872007062010-05-07T08:22:43.838+10:002010-05-07T08:22:43.838+10:00Congratulations Magpie, comment No 3 on Jessica...Congratulations Magpie, comment No 3 on Jessica's blog.
