Holy cow… 40 days to go… Holy cow. And it really does just seem like yesterday that I was daydreaming and talking about my plans to go to Australia and NOW it’s just a mere 40 days away. I still can’t believe it’s going to be finally happening. Suzanne and Heather are in their stages of preparing/planning mode and freaking out mode. I have already … Continue reading 40 Days To Go
Dear Family, Friends, Twitter Followers, Strangers, Aliens from Space or Anyone Else Who Happens to Stumble on this Site, Many know I’m going to Australia in Dec (and if you don’t, you are living under a rock). In one month, I’ll be adding another year to my life and I keep getting asked, what do I want for my birthday and here it is: Instead … Continue reading My Birthday Wish
It seems crazy that on March 3rd, I wrote a blog about One Step Closer to Going and now, I’m a mere 66 days away. SIXTY-SIX DAYS!! Holy shit Batman! I know I’m going. I’ve paid for the airfare. I’ve put the deposits down on the guest house and the camper van. I’ve got the passport ready and my ETA is approved. But I still … Continue reading 66 Days Closer to Going
Life is never easy. There are ups and there are downs. There are side roads that should have been taken and main roads that should have been avoided. There are times when one needs to stop running and times when running is the best thing to do. Many know I’m going to Australia in December, and if you don’t, you obviously don’t follow me on … Continue reading Leave The Light On
Over the weekend, I received a text from Suzanne regarding the manual transmission camper van we had secured…in short, the message read, we need to get an automatic. Heather and I agreed. We’d rather be safe than sorry. Not only do we have to drive on the left side of the road, we’ll be sitting in the right hand side of the car. Confused…join the … Continue reading Customer Service Part 2
The story goes…a dreamer had a gleam in her eye to go to Australia. For years she dreamed this dream and finally in 2011, she said fuck it, just do it. She told her friends and soon she had an instigator and a comedian that would join her on her dream… Unbeknownst to them…the Boomerang Babes were born. 3 Southern Babes visiting the Land Down … Continue reading Boomerang Babes
I am planning a trip to Australia with friends in December. The airfare is booked, guest house for when we arrive in Sydney and for when return to Sydney has been booked, but we’re there for 21 days. We will arrive in Sydney for 4 days to decompress from the plane ride and immerse ourselves into the Australian way. Some time on the 4th day, … Continue reading Customer Service from Australia
As I sat in the passenger seat of Suzanne’s car with my arm hanging out the window and my foot propped on the open window, I realized that 2011 is the year of “Do It” or the year of “Dreams Coming to Reality.” This year, I will FINALLY be going to Australia in December and in August, I will be road tripping to Key West. … Continue reading Do It
Australia…I have daydreamed of going there for years and when I say years, I mean years. Not like one or two but more like ten plus years. Everyone has a place they want to visit or places they want to visit. When I was 16, it was Key West and then I thought maybe I’d like to move to San Francisco because I so loved … Continue reading Australia
“I pick myself up off the ground, sick to death of lying down… You’re in my soul. You’re in my mind, but I don’t know where you are now.” ~Stereophonics When my mom passed away, my friend and co-worker Sarah W. said, “Invite your mom to come play with you in your dreams.” For months, every night when I went to sleep, I’d invite my … Continue reading Listening to the Universe
