Visitors are coming

I'll be entertaining some visitors in November... My Aunt & Uncle are arriving on November 10 and my Mom and Frank land on the 16th. It will be great to see some familiar faces after last being on North American soil in June. The 3 months I've been over here have blown by... for obvious reasons...

For the week that the fam overlaps here in Oz we've rented a unit on beach in Coolum which is about an hour north of Brizzie where we'll be relaxing in the sun, golfing, bush whacking, touring, and whatever else we can get into. If any Australians (or others) know of some "must see" sights on the Sunshine Coast please leave a comment so that I show the fam a good time while they're here.

On another note, it looks like my first real vacation / home leave won't be until the Christmas break. If money, time, and logistics weren't an issue this is what I'd do: fly to Vietnam to visit a friend who is moving there in November to work for 2 years, trek around Nam and maybe the surrounding area for a week or so, then fly home for Christmas, then fly to Hawaii to spend some time with the Jackson's (I wonder if they remember inviting me, haha), then back to Briz for work sometime in January... Not sure how I'd fit this all in, so we'll have to see what happens. Time will tell..

I talked to Frumby on the phone this morning too... he's tossing around the idea of coming in December to visit, and possible tag along to SE Asia as well. If anyone else wants to come along we should start thinking about it too... Given the state of the project I'm not sure if I'll be back here in 2007 or not. Hope so, but it's out of my hands.

Anyways, this weekend I'm laying relatively low in order to let my foot heal. I injured it on a "surf-ski" sort of like this one last weekend. So I have to keep it out of the water which means no surfing or waterslides, 2 things that I had on my list of "to-do's" this weekend. Oh well...

Instead I'll be taking in the AFL Grand Final between the Sydney Swans and the West Coast Eagles, and on Sunday the NRL finals in which the Brisbane Broncos will kick ass.

Keep on keepin' on.
