Jessy (snuggleglooms) | 381 comments I bet she is there is nothing more disappointing then looking forward to something so deeply then it not happening. It is an extremely nice gesture by the company organising the trip to do that atleast it means she may get to Machu Picchu eventually!! :o) As the old saying goes better late then never!!

Couldn't let him miss out on that;P

Michael (knowledgelost) I much prefer "Mod Prometheus" since I'm Frankenstein :P

But I know most people will know me as Knowledge Lost or KL but I had to change my name as I wanted to promote myself and both my blogs rather than just Knowledge Lost. So I'm happy with that nickname

Margaret Sharp (margaretlynettesharp) | 1215 comments For the first time in my life, today I saw a pair of dolphins (in the Botany Bay foreshores.) I couldn't resist writing a post for my WordPress blog, and it received three 'likes' within the first few minutes! Everyone seems to love dolphins!
