PARASAILING!

Yesterday we went for a cruise around the Island in the gorgeous Jeep!
Went snorkling! Loved it! Cant wait to go scubba diving again one day! Wanted to go here but ill wait to go another time, need to save my pennes! hehe
Then we went up around the coast, so gorgeous! Found some really nice beaches!

Today we went Parasailing! SOOOO much fun! Went tandem side by side! They dipped us in the water so many times! hehe
Didnt really do much else today. I am loosing my voice though :( At the moment its all husky sounding! hurts a bit so might go get some lozengers! Think its just from the salt water, took in a bit from the many many dunkings we got when we were parasailing! hehe was fun though!!!

HAWAII (beach bum!)

IM IN HAWAII!!!!
Today I got up early and went for a run on the beach! got a huge blister though! OUCH!
Ariana and I spent the morning Relaxing on the beach lapping up the sunshine!
We did however spend the mid arvo in our room, she read her book and I had a lil nap! hehe
Its great just taking it easy and not doing much!
We watched the sunset on the beach and oh man does it just drop out of the sky!!!
So gorgeous though!!
We cooked a nice spag bowl meal sooo yummy! So for anyone wanting to know "yes mum we are looking after ourselves!" hehe
The Jeep we hired is gorgeous!!! Its the unlimited 4 door so its alot bigger than what Ariana is used to but she has me as a parking navigator so we should be ok! hehe
We took the top down ready for our drive around to the north shore tomoz!
Going snorkling tomoz as well sooo looking forward to that!!

2 SLEEPS!

2 MORE SLEEPS!!!!
I have finally started packing and am realising I am going to have to buy a new (or 2) suitcases!
Going shopping tomorrow to see what I can find.
I fly out at around 4:30pm to Hawaii!!!

So the last few days...
Went to Seattle with Ariana and we had some fun and some disappointing times but of course it was a worth it! Had a really good lunch at a french bakery, went to Tiffanys (left with a brochure, thats all I could afford!! haha) did a bit of shopping but bought nothing! (thats the disappointing part!) Went to see the very first Starbucks! pretty cool!!!
And had some really good fish and chips for dinner!
Ended the trip with a VERY long wait at the boarder!

Yesterday Leigh, Ange and I went to the PNE, (the fair for Canadians and the show for the Australians) Saw some sheep herding dogs and some 'superdogs' and sooo cute horses! And the 'wheels of steel' motocross riders.
Leigh and I went on an AWESOME ride! So high, so fast, so fun!
A sad end to the day... my (flip flop/thong/jandle) broke! My cute silver ones! so sad!
Had to walk home with one barefoot! :(
Then had dinner around at the girls house (staff in YWAM)
Hilary made sushi for dinner YUM! and then I made some fruit salad for desert and Hilary had made some LAMINGTONS! We both ended up arguing as to who created lamingtons, pav and anzac biscuits. Australians or New Zealanders. We just agreed it was both hehe
Then finished the night by watching Strictly Ballroom! Good Aussie movie!

That brings us to today! Fun, Exciting day it was!
Ange and I got our hair cut! both looking gorgeous!
And Ariana, Leigh, Ange and I went to watch the Baseball and Vancouver won!
Lots of fun!

It's not long now!

Only 6 days till I fly out to Hawaii!
Today is Sophias Birthday Party and then Ariana, Leigh, Ange and I are heading to the waterpark if the weather decides to be nice to us, fingers crossed!
Then tomorrow Ariana and I are heading to Seattle!
And Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be spent doing the few little odd things I need to do before I leave and then I fly out on Thursday at around 4 o'clock!
Going to be arriving in Hawaii where Ariana will meet me with our Jeep we are hiring! FUN!
And then in Hawaii for 7 days with Ariana, then there will be the very very sad departing when she flys back to Vancouver! :'(
I have one extra day before I fly out on the 7th but then its a 20 hour trip where I loose a day in the air and end up arriving on the 9th!
At the airport Justin is picking me up in my Celica! To which I have been told that Im not aloud to drive.... :'( apparently Im going to be too tired and jet lagged!
But thats ok I will be too ecstatic to care! Im a little worried what it will be like driving again after being here and getting used to cars on the opposite side of the road....
hehe Can't wait to see everyone in Australia! But really not looking forward to saying goodbye to everyone here...... :'(

mmmm YUM!!!

Guess what was waiting for me when I got home from work?
A package from Dean and Penne!!!
Earings (so cute!) with a ring to match (adorable!) Cutiest lil wallet!
Twisties!!! mmmm havnt had them in awhile! A crunchie bar!!! mmmm

Thank you sooooo much guys! I felt really homesick today and this has put a HUGE smile on my face! Love you two soooo much!!! Cant wait for that huge dean and penne squish hug! hehe

Update!

Well I have been hastled to update my blog so here it is finally!
As most people know now I am coming home!!!!! (big smile on the girls face right now)
I am so excited! I can not wait to see everyone back home and smell the fresh aussie air!
How I miss Australia!!!!!!!
To overview on everything that I have done in the last 4 and a half months! wow seems like so much longer!
I started this journey leaving everything behind and jet setting around the globe! The hardest thing I have done is leave when my life was going so good!
I cried the whole way to Bangkok! There my Mum met me off the plane!
And there is where we started our mother daughter (or Gilmore Girls tour as Dad called it).
Soooooo much fun!!! we went to Bangkok, London, Vienna, New York, Washington, The ambros farm, and Vancouver!
I had so much fun on that trip with my Mum!!!! Love you Mum!
Then Mum travelled back to Australia and I stayed with my brother and his wife.
In the time from then to now I have been working at a store called Exposure.
The girls I work with are great!
I have also been having a blast hanging out with Arianna! We had anawesome road trip through the Rockies to the Ambros farm for Jasons wedding reception.
Spending time with Leigh and Ange has also been a total BLAST!
Although with my hours at work and their busy work we sometimes can go a couple of days not seeing each other so a lot of the time it feels like I am living by myself in the big city!
I am going to be finishing work on the 21st and then having a week to hang out with my bro and sis! They also are finishing soon! So lots of plans for some fun filled days which I will update you all on later.
Then for the BIG news! I am leaving Vancouver on the 30th of August! Meeting Arianna in Hawaii and spending a week in Hawaii with Arianna! SOOO much fun I cant wait!
We are hiring a Jeep!!! Ok so anyone who truely knows me will know that my dream car is a jeep wrangler! I am so pumped! Its going to be so much fun!
And I will be landing in Australia on the 9th of September where my Justin will meet me off the plane! Miss you baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is going to be picking me up in my hot lil Celica that I can't wait to drive again!
My time away has been really hard but also really good. I have seen and experienced so many things! The world is a big place! Some things I have seen and experienced have amazed me while others have shocked me!
I have also worked out what I am going to do when I return.... A course to become a personal trainer! And hopefully work towards working with women at home.
I can not wait to get home to my family, friends, animals, and my Justin! And also start all the awesome things I have planned for my life!
I cant wait to see you all again! Love you and miss you all so much!
