Home again…
In less than 18 hours, I’ll be boarding a jet plane, bidding adieu to the land Down Under… for now. Australia has truly captured my heart, and leaving feels like saying goodbye to a friend I’ve just met but already adore. It’s bittersweet, this departure, but I’m also eager to return home to Seattle, to…

4:00 AM and the train out of Sydney
I had to get up at 4:00 AM to catch my train this morning… I’ve never been a fan of early mornings, but for some reason, 4:00 AM was pretty easy to do. Although I’m not very happy with the train trip this time, at least I don’t have to try and sleep on the…

Boat + Drink + Aussies = fun?
The question of the day is: what happens when you mix 15 Aussies, 2 Americans, and 1 Brit in a situation with lots of alcohol, some boats, and a barbecue? Something that almost resembles fun!

Day 1 of Operations
And so it begins… I knew today would be special as I got up at 4:00 AM thinking it was 5:00 AM… Well at least my alarm thought it was 5:00 AM. I thought what an ominous way to start operations on the venue, waking up an hour early. Oh well it’s not like I…

Forks and the life they lead
I woke up this morning, feeling a bit adventurous, and thought, “What the hell, I’ll head out to the local golf club to go to the driving range for a little while, you know, hit some balls and get ready for the round of golf I’m playing tomorrow.” It seemed like a brilliant idea at…
