Going Down Undah

So Mauied, how was your Australasian adventure?

I'm baaaaaaaack!

Trip was great - got to meet LeoVJS in a suburb of Sydney, enjoy a smoke and a meal. In a nut shell, held my koala, ate a 'roo steak, petted a kangaroo, snorkeled the great barrier reef, hopped on a bus-on-wheels-worse-than-southwest flight from Virgin Blue (they make you pay for water), went wine tasting in the Warkworth/Auckland area, down to Rotorua, and back to Hawaii for R&R before coming back to a bad reality check.

Wife calls it her favorite vacation ever. I'm not quite as fond of some of the more al-dente moments like staying in a cabin in a rainforest with an open bathroom/shower facing the rainforest, and watching a snake watch me back about 5 feet away.

All and all, great trip. And I'm back, and in need of another one.

And as a funny side bar, I got so used to driving on the right side of the car with my wiper and turn signal controls backwards, I made an idiot of myself trying to do the turn signals in hawaii.

Man, that sounds like a great trip, even from the truncated version. Did you go to NZ at all, or did i miss that? BTW, you have a PM. Oh, and when are you going to post pictures?
