Australia!

It’s hard for my brain to wrap around the reality that I will be flying out this coming weekend. I’m getting nervous, though I know I have no reason to be, really. I’ve done this trip twice before, and had a blast both times. And this time I get to go during Halloween. Vicky has always thrown a magnificent Halloween bash, and this time I actually get to be there for it.

I am, of course, bringing loads and loads of Halloween goodies with me. I’ve taken some photos of the stash, and hope to post them tomorrow. It really is… a lot. I’ve bought a second bag to put everything in and will be incredibly amused if my check-in luggage gets a thorough searching at the airport. You know… disemembered foam arms sticking out of the side of my bag and what not.

Maybe I can bribe the security guards with the loads of candy I’ll be hauling with me.

Vicky has promised me that I will have access to her digital camera while I’m there as well, so I fully plan to make use of it as much as possible. You’ll hopefully be able to check both our blogs for lots and lots of updates in the weeks to come. Or actually, after I head back home. Who has time for updating blogs when there’s fun to be had?

Those of you that read this blog and are in the area, I fully intend to see you at some point. That first week I’m there is going to be hectic, but I do hope to get some time to just unwind and enjoy myself as well. This whole work thing has taken a lot out of me of late, and I’m looking forward to a vacation. A much deserved vacation.

I’ve also been told by Danie that I have to bring something back for her. I think she’s a little jealous of Shawn’s didgeridoo and boomerang. Any suggestions?
