Maneuvering Around Oz

I have a few minutes before heading out for the day, so I thought I'd throw out a quick update.

I arrived in Melbourne, along with my mom, last Friday morning and have been touring parts of Victoria and South Australia for the past week.

After walking around Melbourne's City Centre and environs for a few days, I rented a car and drove the Great Ocean Road. If you're ever in the area, it's a beautiful drive...especially around the Twelve Apostles region around Port Campbell.

Since we were already halfway to Adelaide by the end of the Great Ocean Road...we kept on going. We spent the night in the small coastal town of Robe. I thought it was really pretty and wouldn't have minded if we spent more time there. Alas...we had to trudge along, so that we could catch our flight to Kangaroo Island.

While we were on the island, we took a guided tour to check out some of the cute fairy penguins that live along the coast of Penneshaw. I also managed to drive around the whole entire thing...heading to Seal Bay, the Koala Walk and Flinders National Park to view Admiral's Arch and the Remarkable Rocks. I'll try to post pictures as soon as I can. ;) (Oh...and we didn't see any wild kangaroos while we were on the island...but then again...I made it a habit not to drive between dusk and dawn.)

Now we're back in Adelaide to see the city sights before heading over to New South Wales...I'll see if I can check back again later (and maybe add some links). =)

Quarter System

Apparently, I tend to update this blog on a quarterly basis.  For those of you still keeping tabs on me (via rss feeds or bookmarks), in a nutshell…here’s what I’ve been up to the last quarter:

Mid June – I took my bi-annual trip to NYC, for the purpose of seeing six shows in four days.  Ah…theatre bliss…  =)

Late June to Mid July – I headed to Southeast Asia.  I spent most of my time in Thailand, but did manage a couple days in Malaysia and a couple days in Singapore…oh…and about an hour and a half in Indonesia.  ;)

Late July – Spent a few days in Albuquerque for my sorority’s annual convention.  I did also manage to head to Old Town and the Turquoise Trail, which was all pretty cool.

Mid August – I spent a long weekend in Northern California to visit with a friend.  Of course, I managed to take in a show…and eat…a lot.

So…here I am, back at my desk…ready to stay put.  At least…for a few more days.  ;)

Done Playing Hooky

So...it's been quite a while since I ventured on to this blog. I've been distracted by the likes of facebook and twitter - where's it's much easier to send a one-line message than write out a substantial post.

While I'm still going to be facebooking/tweeting/twittering (whatever monikers you prefer)...I will also chronicle more events going on in my life. I have a good feeling about some potential collaborations coming down the pike...and I have some trips set up for the remainder of 2009.

Let's hope this will be as exciting for you as it is for me. ;)
