SEASONS GREETINGS ALL!
I realize I've been a bad blogger. Apparently blogging is another part time job and between working full time and traveling with every spare moment (and dollar) I've fallen way behind. However, just to update you all on what's been going on in brief:
1. My Working Holiday Visa expired and I applied for a Work Visa to stay a bit longer and...
2. I GOT MY WORK VISA! so....
3. I'm continuing to work at No. 7 Balmac for the next several months and then...
4. I'm hoping to hop across the Tasman and road trip around Australia in July/August with Nicky followed by
5. Country hopping through Southeast Asia September/October with anyone keen to join me!
6. Applications for "travel buddy" for the Southeast Asia country hopping expedition can be submitted starting January 1, 2012. Please contact me/submit yours via the comments section in this blog. Please include available travel times, destination requests, level of adventurousness, previous travel experience, your views/preferences on "pre-planning", and favorite brand of travel guide. All applications will be taken seriously! So make sure your passport is up to date! :)
As a New Year's Resolution, I'm going to promise to post at least once a week - even if only a wee "hidey ho!" and in the meantime (if the holidays don't bog me down!) I'll try and catch up on the previous trips and travels in the past 6 months.
This year has been AWESOME and even though I was here last year this time, I'm still finding it a little bit disconcerting to be tanning 3 days before Christmas, but I'm not really complaining!! My holiday plans this year will, as always, include a Christmas Eve service and then early Christmas morning I'll be heading out to Queenstown to join the other family-less nomads (aka Nicky et al at the Qtown house) where the day will no doubt include games, food, and hopefully cliff jumping!! (I'll try not to break anything this time)
Merry Christmas, Chappy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa and...happy anything else I forgot!
