Two Beers and a Pretzel

I’ll get some photos soon.  I’ve been taking it easy to get over my cold; and no, it’s not the swine flu…  The Olympus is on the fritz, but Olympus has offered to fix it, so I’ll probablly send it in to the Aussie repair shop.

I took the shuttle to Surfer’s Paradise and met Aaron and Corrinna at the bus terminal.  Surfer’s reminded me of “Anywhere Florida”, and I was still felling like crap, so I got on the bus with them to Brisbane.

There we ran into a bunch of people from MojoSurf, including Jenny and Roberta (on her birthday).  We all went out for Robbie’s birthday, then I retired early to sleep off this cold.  I woke up late this morning and my strategy appears to have worked!!

Today I got a charger for my cell, and will try to get my last Twinrex vaccination.  Aaron and I are booking nearly 3 weeks of Aussie travel from Canoeing and camping in Noosen, to driving around Frasier Island, surfing 1770, and sailing/snorkeling in the Whitsunday’s…  And I still have a skydive voucher good for Mission Beach or Carnes.

That means I’ll get to Thailand around the 21st and have about 3 weeks there before heading to India.   Right now I’m thinking about buying a digireedoo and a small guitar or ukelele since I’ll be spending most of the next 3 weeks in places where recharging the iPod will be questionable.  Tonight is probably a normal city activity of going to a movie (X-Men Wolverine) with Jenny, Jimmy, and Roberta.
