Byron Bay

I am currently in Byron Bay, a cute little town (same size as Whitehorse, but much nicer!) that is on the beach. As today is the first nice day since I got to Australia, I am going to spend some much needed time doing nothing in the sun!
Last night was great- I met up with Linn and Christian, friends from the Paradiso in NZ, and it was the perfect night to get a little crazy! We spent part of the time catching up and talking about all the crazy antics that we got up to in NZ, then headed out for the night. While it's always fun to hang out, it was more fun just chilling and laughing! Today they are off, so who knows if I will ever see them again- they do want to come to Canada (and go hunting with Dustin in SK!!) so perhaps I will see them then!
Now I get to complain! I hate Ipods. That's right, another problem with my ipod- it doesn't freaking work! It was fine the other day, then yesterday when I went to use it- nothing. I am getting really tired of going through this, and if it wasn't for the fact that they replace them, I wouldn't have one- there has to be a better MP3 player out there that will last more than 4 months (since that is how long this ipod lasted!!) Grrr, it is making me very agitated! K, I feel better having vented- now I get to deal with them!
Otherwise though all is well!!! I am switching hostels today, going to meet some other people that I know from Surfers Paradise, and stay at the same hostel as them (that's how I ended up at this one!) This one is a little bit out of town though, and I want one that I can walk to the beach in a few minutes, which I can't here! Anyway, I am running out of internet time (aren't I always?!) so I am going to run! Not that I am counting down, but I will be home in less that 2 months now- and I can't remember if I mentioned it, but I still have my job when I get home, so that's a good thing!!!!

Hey Samm!

Spring's sprung here at home! The temperature's are finally up - not as nice, I'm sure, as they are in Australia, mind you, but certainly nicer than -50C.

Geoff says "hi!" and is glad you're learning some skills that will make you a great settler's wife (I told him you'd bought a spinning wheel). Ha ha!

See you in May!
