This year Kim met her targets at work. This meant the she got invited to Hawaii (with a partner...me) as part of the Chairmans club.
We got back two weeks ago and had a fantastic trip. The first few days we spent in Honolulu at Waikiki Beach...we got to see all of Oahu, went snorkeling and Kim went shopping. One night we all went to a shooting range in Honolulu.
After this we went to Kauai where we were staying at a big resort. Here we went snorkeling, sailing and played golf.
There was parties every night and we also managed to find a bit of time to ourselves.
See the rest of the photos from our trip here:

In Mid 2006 I went to a work meeting in Krabi in Thailand.
This happens to be a few kilometers away from one of the best rock climbing destinations in the world. So, after the meeting I took a few days off to go rock climbing.
Kim happened to be travelling in the Northern part of Thailand with some friends who had to leave on the same day my meeting ended. Kim flew down to Krabi where I picked her up at the airport.
Unfortunately it was rainy season, so most of the time in Railay it was raining, but we did manage to get one day of climbing done and the rest of the time we spend in the restaurants and playing cards.

I have now added photos from 2004. The highlights from this year was a trip to the United States and Canada as well as a family trip to Egypt. This was also the year that Australia entered the war in Iraq, so there are a couple of photos from the anti war demonstrations.

In Mid 2006 I was in Portugal for our International Partner Conference with the company.
It was a week of being busy setting up for the conference, socialising but also a lot of fun and partying.

I quite regularly head up to the Blue Mountains to go Rock Climbing.
We normally camp overnight and then depending on the weather and temperature decide on the day what walls we are going climbing on. The photos in the gallery are a selection of some of the photos I've taken in 2006, but there will be more to come in 2007.
Unfortunately I don't have a lot of photos of me climbing as I tend to forget to pass my camera to someone else.
Most of the time I go with my friend Sarah, but she has now moved to Canberra so she doesn't come up there as often as she used to.

In September 2006 I went on a business trip to Tokyo along with a colleague of mine Tsukada-san.
Most of the trip was hard work and very long days, but I did manage to snap a couple of photos here and there.
We did get the deal in Tokyo, so the trip was worthwhile, and we are now installing our solution across all of Asia.

In early 2006 my Mum had a stroke while my parents were on holiday in Thailand.
A few months later in April when I was in Europe for work I used the opportunity to go and visit and check up on how my mum is doing.
She is now in a wheelchair and still getting used to finding new ways of doing things.
I didn't do much while I was there, because it was mainly a social visit to help my mum and dad.

I have a number of photos that don't really justify being in individual albums. I have now added all these photos from 2006 into one album.

In early 2006 I went a trip to Seattle for our annual kick-off event.
Some of us flew over there a few days early to go skiing in Wanatchee east of Seattle. If was a weekend of perfect skiing. It was my first time skiing so I took some lessons after which I was doing fine (blue slopes).
During the week we had lots of meetings and dinners. There were award nights as well as just social nights where we could meet up with the rest of the company.
The following all of us in International went down to Crystal Mountain at Mount Raineer to do some more skiing. It was a lot of fun and we all had a great time.
