Preparatory Mode

And so as the date of departure draws ever closer time seems to be moving at a rate unknown. So much to do (well actually there is very little to do) and not enough time to do it. I finish work on the 17th of November and the day after I return to the small fishing village where I grew up, gently nestled in the hills of the Great Dividing Range; yes that's right Portland NSW. There I shall remain until we depart the rock on the 30th of November bound for Viet Nam.

Sarah only has two weeks left here in the nation’s capital, where at the conclusion she will return to her goat herding roots and stay with her parents deep in the snow drifts of Australia's premiere Alpine resort town, Bathurst NSW.

The excitement is building, preparations are being made. There is only 6 months until the start of the AFL season.

Jaso.
