update

so as i mentioned in the last blog i have been left here in airlie while everyone has gone in different directions for the next few weeks. andy and brock have gone to cairns to meet up with mono , tom went to townseville to try his hand at mango picking. i am currently working at Peter Pan's travel agency geared towards backpackers and adventure travellers. besides P.F. changs which i liked for other reasons besides work* this is the first time i can actually say i like my job. i get to interact with tons of cool people with the same interests of travel. getting up for work is also very easy seeing that i live in the apartment connected to the back of the travel egency. the other night we all went to a function put on by one of the other trvael agnencies and we all had to dress like fijjans in surongs. we all had a great time at the party with the open bar and all was smooth until we decided to go to the bars in town without changing. we got so much crap for how we were dressed especially brenden (one of the travel agents) and i. another cool thing that has happened recently is the selling of the fairmont. with great marketting skills we sold her for 100 dollars more than we bought it and it was the first day we posted the sign. it surprised us that the fellow bought the car after the mechanic we took it to estimated it needed $800 in repairs to be "road worthy" whatever that means. the plan is to stay here in airle for another month or so then go and ave a big christmas and new years in sydney before flying to new zealand on the 6th of january. airle is a great town witth the downsides being to much nightlife and no surf. its terrrible but i have only surfed 2 times in oz. either the waves have been real bad or the distractions are to much. hopefully get alot of surfing done in new zealand and defenetly down in costa rica from feb. till about july hopefully. also thanksgiving is getting close and we all had plans to make a big dinner but now that we are all seperated my plan is to jsut get some KFC and watch a movie. not to conventional but what has been on this trip? hope all is well with everyone in the states and iv got to throw in a big happy birthday to my grandaddy whom turned 80 a couple days ago.
