Well, this is kind of late notice to all my loyal(?) readers, but… I’m off to Australia tomorrow. I’ll be gone for a whole month – but fear not! I’ll have net access, and will be blogging about my adventures along the way. So it should be interesting!<\/p>\n
This’ll be my first Christmas away from home – and somewhere where there’s no snow!! So it’s a little scary for me, but what the heck, there’s a first time for everything, right?<\/p>\n
In the meantime, enjoy the cold weather everyone – I’ll be enjoying nice, hot, sunny weather on the beach soon enough. Who-hoo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
