Hello All,

Another Tuesday has come and gone....our only day off. This time Heather, myself, Ed & Holly went surfing. We took the ferry to Manly and started our course at 2pm. I figured they would have done more work with us on the shore but basicly gave us a board showed how to stand up, which is easier on shore, and sent us in the water. After the first big wave hit us, I could tell on Heathers face that she wasn't having fun, and wanted to get out, the instructor also picked up on it and helped get to where we were, and set her up for the first run, and of course she stands up right away and has the best run out of any of us...I sucked...I stood up once, for about 2 seconds, got excited and fell over. I can understand why the Auzzies surf so much. After the surf lesson, we got some fish and chips and sat on the beach. Another great Tuesday.

Tuesday almost didn't happen, as once again we went to the bank to deposit Heathers pay cheque, and once again our savingings account has been wiped out. We had our 3rd day of unathorized withdras on our account. The fist time, it was like "oh it happens" second time, I am a little peturbed it could happen again, 3rd time...explosion...We asked on all occasions to have the account closed, no didn;t need to accounts were fine. The second time they closed Heathers card. everything would be find. 3rd time they closed my card, everything will be find. Time to call Head office...lol...Whomever in GBR is taking our money, I hope they are having fun with it, we would have. The bank will give us the money back in 5-8 weeks, which is great although we are leaving for Adelaide in 4.


Love and miss you all,
Neil

Greetings!
Hey Neil, long time no speak. We've been having a record-breaking winter here: Heat Wave! But it's been refreshing to read your exploits. I had misplaced the blog link Your name comes up every once in a while with the group wondering where you now are. I'll update them on your current status. Try not to let the scammer spoil your stay though I'm sure it is hard to look at it that way. Keep up the fun!

I'm so doing this too...
Hey guys....I'm sorry I haven't written in a long time, although I'm sure you two are very busy and with the rest of the entries you probably won't even notice that I wrote this one..HA!! But anyhow, I think of you guys pretty often and wonder what sort of crazy, amazing, (envious on my part) things you're doing. It sounds like you're both having a blast and I'm so happy for you of course. I'm extremely jealous however and I've decided that in the next couple of years, I'm totally going to do this. I'm going to follow in your footsteps and take my own year-long journey down under. I met a girl at a new job I started (no longer at James Street..) who told me she lived in Australia for a year. She said she absolutely loved it and didn't wanna come back. I'm afraid that may be the case with you guys...or worse, with me if/when I go down!! On another note, my mother left on March 26th to take her own 3-weeker down under...she's got quite the itinerary with her friend whom she's meeting down there. From San Fransisco to Melbourne, then from there it's a few days of trecking around Oz, and on April 4th they leave from Melbourne for Auckland, NZ for another eight days or so of trecking around...Then on the 12th of April she leaves NZ to go back to San Fransisco where she'll stay a couple days. Anyhow, all this to say that I have two sets of people to be extremely jealous of. I hate you all...HATE YOU ALL!!! J/K of course. I love you and can't wait to read more of your wacky going ons. Take care you two, and give those bank jokers a good piece of your mind Michelle-style!!
