Getting close
July 11th, 2005I’ll be sleeping one of my last nights in my flat tonight as I leave for Townsville tomorrow morning. I’ll be gone some 12/13 days and will be coming back to Sydney around the 24th. Nothing has been planned too far yet as I want to keep options open for spontaneous things. The downside of travelling this long on the road is that you want to keep your carryings as minimal as possible, meaning I can’t take my better camera with me. Hopefully my older one will still work ok and get those nice holiday shots!
It’s also a bit sad in terms of not seeing many people once I leave. Many good friends will leave during the time I’m away and new people will begin arriving as I come back. It’s the same kind of stuff I wrote earlier about living in these awkward 6 month cycles. Life goes on - it’s a nice way of breaking up usual connections and methods of living/work and forcing you to adjust to new environments quite quickly.
But to those who have already left and are reading this blog - keep in touch! (meaning write e-mails!) And to those who are still in Geegal or are reading this from other parts of the world - don’t expect me to reply to e-mails during my trip as I want to kick back a little bit and enjoy the last weeks I’m in Oz.
