Fiji….

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

I can’t believe nearly 3 months is over with since we came back from New Zealand. We leave for Fiji now in about 3 weeks! WOW!

Not much is happening really, just living life. Stressing over money for each of these trips and pay bills and it’s hard because I can’t work. I can’t contribute and I feel bad. Lyn knows it’s not my fault but it’s the sacrafices we have to make. We do take small little day trips here and there to break up the monotony of things. Just a couple weeks ago we took a day trip to Mamu. There is a new Canopy Rainforest Walk there. Not worth the $20 entry fee but nice all the same. 

Anyway, our flights are booked. Taking 1 flight to Brisbane, then Brisbane to Nadi (Fiji), staying 4 days, then back again. We got an all inclusive mega deal! The nice thing is that the place we’re staying at is gay/lesbian friendly. That’s always nice! Our package includes all meals, 3 tours, $100 worth of drinks and the roundtrip flights (except for the Cairns to Brisbane portion). So it pretty much cost us the same as our New Zealand trip.

Lyn and I decided to go buy some bathing suits (or costumes as Aussie’s call it). We both bought one-pieces and wore them this past Sunday. It was father’s day for Aussies so we spent the day at the lake. It was overcast, not much sun but certainly enough to burn our backs! OMG the pain!  Well, at least we’ll be set for Fiji! LOL!! 

I’m thinking about posting pictures of our trips as additional pages. So have a look for those if you’re curious. And I’m going to try and keep this blog updated. Not like anyone really cares but…. I do! 

Living “Down Undah”

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

So I’ve been in Australia now for a week. It’s taking some getting used to. I’m not living like a tourist and eating out everyday and sight seeing. I’m living as a resident would. Shopping in grocery stores for dinner is pretty funny. Grocery items are so different. There are some things that the U.S. has but most of which is their own brands. Foods have different tastes as well. (more…)
