As my dedicated readers would know, Sweetie and I are about to embark for our Australian adventure! In less than a week we will be flying off to visit friends, family, and Richard Burton (as a 3m high 3D hologram).
So, what can we expect from our journey?
- Cooler weather! It's been really hot here (I'm sure Odyssey know's what I'm talking about!): We've averaged 99F for August so far, with 15+ days over 100F. Needless to say we're looking forward to some relief, and relief we shall get: The average maximums we're expecting on our trip are 65-70F... For a comparison, that's cooler than our minimums so far in August!
- The definition of irony... I'll be flying from American to Australia, and in the process I'll be missing out on cricket! How that works I'm not so sure, but there you have it.
- A different perspective: I'll get to see Australia, where I grew up, and things that I know through the eyes of my Sweetie. Part of what I love about her is the way she sees things, and I can't wait to see what she makes of my country (okay, so I don't own Australia, but you know what I mean!).
- Fun!! We have so much we're looking forward to: Family, friends, places from my past, good food, an anniversary, and a few days in Sydney at the end of our trip just for the two of us!
We can't wait!

Can't wait to see you and meet "Sweetie" (my ex used to spell it "sweatie"). We are counting down too!
What about the 9 metre tall 3 tonnes alien fighting machine......which is going to balance precariously above your sibling's head throughout the show!!!!
Good luck sis!!
Will the alien fighting machine help turn the pages?
Errr, I'm obviously missing something. Either Australia has lost it all together or you're talking about some show you are going to see. Have a great trip and beware the drop bears and hoop snakes!
I conned a room of friends with the drop-bears and hoop-snakes the other day, and I still feel guilty!
We'll have a blast!
You should feel guilty if you let friends believe Fosters is a decent beer. Not so much for drop bear and hoop snake stories.
Little sis is doing a huge production of War of the Worlds next week. The alien fighting machine is there to protect us from the drop bears and hoop snakes.....
My friends aren't dumb enough to believe that Foster's is a good beer...
Big Sis, glad to hear you'll be safe from the drop-bears and hoop-snakes while you perform.
