The Gang
And an arsehole kiwi boy bottom lefy who ruined the picture. It has been a while since the last entry. I'm actually trying to strain my brain to remember when the last thimg was that I wrote about. So if I repeat myself, well tough!!
I left for my trip back home on14th August. I flew into LAX then got a flight to San Francisco, where the lovely Kristen met me (in a hot Merc convertable!) I only spent 2 days in SF, well actually Kristen lives just outside of SF, near San Jose. We went to Santa Cruz boardwalk, where we made ourselves feel sick on the rides. On the thurs we then embarked on our ever so lucious adventure. Kristen has a friend, who has a friend who owns a $2 million yacht. The only information Kristen gave me is that they were 2 "older" men who wanted some eye candy for the yacht. They flew 5 girls out to LAX where we then spent 2 nights on the yacht. This boat was amazing, fully carpetted and massive (3 bedrooms!) We went out for dinner on thurs, then set sail on friday for Catalina (after a slight engine problem delay). Catalina is an island in the pacific, just off
Dolphins!!
Lots of them followed the boat the American coast (not in Mexico, I say no more Kristen!) Catalina is a beautiful island. It looks very European. We had a good day, ended up at a trashy night club. All was going well until one of the 2 blokes that we were being 'eye candy' for decided he wasnt having enough attention poured upon him and made us all leave. Pretty annoying at the time, although just made him look a bit pathetic. We set sail back to LA that night. I stayed an extra 2 nights at a lovley hotel on the beach just outside LA. Kristen and Rhonda stayed on an extra night with me and we all had a sat night out in Santa Monica. Managed to go to one bar and wrack up a bit of a bar bill which we got out of paying. Amazing what a bit of Kristen flirting will get you!
I then flew to New York. Unfortuately my plane got delayed so I didnt arrive at my hotel til 9pm. I ended up wandering down to times square, as I was so close to it. Then had my only burger in America for dinner and cracked some margarita

Definately better travelled in death! drinking by myself in a bar. I liked NY. It was much more real than LA. In LA everyone is so nice "have a nice day" etc. In NY they kind of mumble it, because they have to, but you know they dont give a shit! Bit like UK, where they dont say anything like it at all, no pretense to care! I had to leave to get my flight at 2pm the bext day. So it was only a flying visit to NY. I mainly did shopping, which caused problems when it came to getting all my luggage back to Australia.
I got back to London on 22nd, and had nearly 3 weeks there. It was so great to see everybody. And big sorrys to those I didnt see. I'll be catching up with everyone very soon, but more of that later. I spent most my time hanging out with the gals! That would be Amber, Harri and Lisa. I also went to Fliss and Steves wedding, where I got to see all the uni girls. It was brill to see them all, and Fliss looked absolutely gorgeous. As did 8 month pregnant bridesmaid Stacey! Very excited for
Stacey and Rich, who's baby is due very soon. I also did spend quite a bit of time with a certain person called Wil (you may remember him from previous entries!). He came to the wedding with me, and we got on very well, and you could say we are back together again. I'm not gonna say much on this subject though (well yet). What all this did make me realsie is, that the UK is home. Australia is great and I love it here, but it's not the same. I really miss Toshy (who is looking great, and now blonde, much to my Dads dismay, because now I have gone dark there was trouble telling us apart!)
I have decided to come home for Xmas. It was hard decision to make, but I think it is time. I have plans in the UK which I want to get going. Namely buying a place with Tosh, using Toms money. Also to see how me and Wil go. I'm very excited to come back, although of course very sad to leave Oz.
I now live with Janet in Rose Bay. It is so good living with a friend again. There
Brotherly Love
J and I on my last night out on the town. is no way I'm going to move in with strangers again! Janet has many things planned for my final 3 months here. We have a zoo trip coming up, amongst other things! I'm off to the Hunter Valley tomorrow for the weekend, with 9 girls from work. So that will be good fun (and drunken) no doubt!
So until next time. XXX
