This book is dedicated with love and gratitude to the
wonderful, supportive people of PBE who came to my
Melbourne book signing and made me feel so special.
Thank you to Cheryl Heuer, Mary King, Sue Moody,
Nancy Barry, Alice Dunne and Kay and Jim Johnson
for giving me such a wonderful day.
And to my editor, Brenda Chin, whose zest for
adventure inspired this story.
And as always, to my wonderful husband, Joe,
who makes every day a Big Adventure,
and my beautiful son, Christopher,
aka Big Adventure Junior.
