OK here's how they do things in Australia (at least when you've got company from the States). You head over to the office for the morning. And then you're off to the beach for some 4 wheelin. After that it's a ride through the country looking for roos. And then it's sunset on the deck overlooking the mountains with wine and cheese. These Aussie blokes sure know how to pack in a day.

Jim took Nancy and I, along with Jim and Denise from Powerclean, in his 4 wheeler down to the ocean for a very cool ride on the beach. And then he took us around searching for kangaroos afterwards. Thank you Jim for an unforgettable day!

Nancy and I are now back in Sydney. We'll be flying back to the States tomorrow. It's been an awesome trip! IT'S SAD TO LEAVE!

The Bethel's - Gary, Marilyn, James, his wife Christie, and Charntelle (of Powerclean in Australia) showed us a truly awesome time! And a big thanks to David and Carleen Jones of Powerclean Australia too!

Here are some photos of our day with Jim Bethel

I am glad the Bethel clan is looking after nancy & you. Looks like you all had a great time. It was made even better with Jim losing his voice and unable to speak....lol

Hi Rick,

Glad to hear you had a great time in Australia and with the Bethel family. It was a pleausre to meet you and talk to someone as clued in and as excited about the industry as you are. Although we didn't get officially introduced I am the "lady" you showed the aweome Orbot machine on the last day of the expo before the truckmount draw. I use the word lady loosely as it is not a word usually used when describing me. (Jim Bethel can explain!) Well hopefully when I make my first million using Releasit I can come visit your country till then i'll just enjoy visiting your forum. Look forward to talking in the future. Cheers, Lea.

Hi Lea,

Welcome to the Encapboard!

It was great to meet you!

To introduce you to the other cleaners here, here is a photo of Lea and Shorty that Jim Bethel took at the Carpet Expo...



Lea, if I an assist you with your business let me know.

Cheers Rick, yes you may be able to assist me by taking that photo off. Aaarrgghhh! Terrible, i'd had one too many beers by that stage. Anyway, i'm sure i'll have more questions for you soon as i'm very excited and purchasing my very first cimex tomorrow as well as a large quantity of releasit. I came home to some very good news and am finally kicking off into the world of commercial carpet cleaning. Look forward to chatting soon.

I agree Lea. You do look prettier in person than that picture shows.

And Shorty looks uglier in person.



Cheers!

I think that photo has been doctored in some way. Shorty only has a diet Coke in his hands instead of a beer!

And it was really our pleasure to have you over our neck of the woods Rick. It was GREAT catching up with Nancy and yourself again. Glad you both had a blast when we went up the beach four wheel driving for the afternoon.

Jim
