Adventures Down Under

Australia was awesome! I didn't want to come home. Probably a combination of not wanting to be on an airplane for 14 hours and not getting to see enough of Australia. I think I'm still combatting jet lag. Can't seem to sleep enough, but sleeping at the wrong times continues throwing off the schedule.

( Oh the places you'll go! )

Friday we left for our early morning flight. I didn't want to go home at all. If it weren't for the damn flies, I could live in Australia. It's very much like San Francisco I think. With the taste of relaxing travel and a couple of nasty emails, RTL is now perusing the job ads. All that is another story. I'm ready to go back to Australia and see more than just Sydney. I just found a deal for travel to Australia from LAX and three flights within Australia for less than $1000. When's the next best time to go?

Happy All Saints Day!

What is it with the lack of costumes?

I missed a lot of the little kids because of a water main break up the street and the river running in front of my house. The few I did get were dressed as princesses, witches, a couple of Harry Potters, and a great lizard. Most of my trick or treaters were teenagers. A couple had masks, most looked no different than they do everyday. I did have a gorrilla who grrrrred at me when I opened the door. I suppose I should have been scared since he was twice my size but I ended up laughing instead. I had a bunch of drunk college kids who did a little Halloweening too. The one that literally took my breath away was the boy dressed in the French maid outfit. I opened the door and said "whoa! started drinking a little early did we?" "You can't really smell it can you?" I'm not sure who couldn't smell him.

I also made some GREAT vegetable beef soup. Thanks mom! If I could find the camera I would take a picture so everyone could see how yummy it looks.
