Oh my god this weekend was rippin!! We started the trip convoying it from vegas to Lake Havasu, We rode in Erik's Chevy truck, towing the big boat, Rob and crew in a new hummer and Meryl had her nice RX8. We got to the van park on the river where Erik kept his trailer ( It was a race trailer that had beds, couches, air con, kitchen, TV and a shower, he rides quad bikes). Then in the Arvie we grabbed the esky (or should I say the cooler) and went for a cruise in the boat. It was just before sunset so it was a top time to go for boat ride. We went a while up the river then on the way back one of the guys had a ski behind the boat ... read more

Imagine the bus trip from hell and you would be pretty close to our L.A to Las Vegas trip. From the start this trip went down hill, we got to the greyhound bus station in L.A nice and early (8am), so as to get to Vegas just after lunch. But the chick at the counter gave us the wrong tickets so then we had to wait till the 10 o'clock bus. This bus trip consisted of a bus with windows that don't open, air con that has to be turned off when the bus is not going down a hill, 3 big black chicks non stop yelling " I'm tellin you girlfrien you need to kick yo no good husband to the cerb"(you can imagine the hand actions). Then to top it all off there was ... read more

I went to the hostel that we where staying at 2nd St 1 block from the beach and I saw this hippy lookin bloke with dreads and a beard. Then I realized it was Kev, we sat in our room and caught up for a while then went down to the beach and hired a double bike and rode along the beach to Venice beach. Really nice, lots of shops and the gym on the beach. That night we drank a few bundy rums (that I bought in Sydney duty free) with our 2 German room mates. Kev loved it, he hadn't had bundy for time. The next morning we got up early and got a bus into L.A and then a bus to Vegas!... read more

I left Sydney at 3pm on the 23rd and after a 13 hr flight a few movies, Jim beam blacks ( you would have loved it Walsh) and a top sunset and sunrise (B, the sun sets behind you and you case it round the world and it rises when you get close to the Calli coast) I arrived in L.A.X at 11am the same day, 4 hrs before I left. I was met by the camp people and went to the crown plaza hotel for a night. We had a couple of hours to kill so me and a few other people doing camp went for a walk around d L.A for a look. I brought a new phone and guy told me it was a Tri-band phone I can use it anywhere. The number ... read more

Sydney was heaps of fun! We (me & Bridie) arrived at the airport in the morning and caught a train into town to the U.S embassy. We had to go through 2 security check points where they searched through every compartment of our packs. But after sitting around for ages we had a quick interview and it was all sweet and we picked up our J-1 4 month visa the next day. We stayed in a suburb called ryde with Bridie's cousin Carly and her boyfriend Paul, dead set champions! They took us out for dinner, drove us round to see all the sights and Carly even took Monday off work to take me to the airport! Thanks a lot guys! In my 5 days in Sydney I was quite happy with all the stuff I ... read more

We arrived before 2 after a pretty good drive and found the beach house, which was next to a backpackers and a 50m walk to the beach! The rest of the boys from Brissy arrived about 8:30pm (Gormo, ruebs, marty, kounga and moodie), we celebrated their arrival with some drinking games. Then hit the great northern hotel a few drinks and a band, top night! Saturday morn I hired a board and went for a surf for a few hours, while the boys recovered (nice clean little barrels)! In the afternoon we went up to the lighthouse and walked down to the most easterly point of ... read more
