Julie and Mel met in Melbourne airport
on the Saturday morning of November 29th, 1997.
Julie had driven down from Sydney and Mel had just flown in from
Brisbane to attend the wedding of a mutual friend.
During the course of the next 12 hours we shared many bourbons, laughs
and really got to know each other.
It was towards the end of the night when Mel suggested that if Julie didn't
want to stay with the newly weds that she was quiet welcome to stay in
Mels' motel room. No strings attached of course.
The next morning it was basically decided that if the newly weds didn't
want to come to Phillip Island to see the penguins that we would go
ourselves.
You guessed it we went ourselves. This is where we became LOTL's and the
adventure really began.
Since this *is* the edited version and you already know that this story has
a happy ending you'll just have to wait for all the romantic, crazy,
bizarro, wacky details and find out the story behind these penguins. :P
