G'day mates! Here's a summary of my
LA / Fiji / Australia / NZ trip '02-'03!
June 30 | pics
I'm home!! Woo hoo!! A little behind schedule but not too bad.
My flight was rescheduled to land in Toronto this morning at
6am rather than last night at 11pm. But I had a nice 7 hour
stopover in LA, which I spent mostly in Santa Monica! hehehe.
I was able to go snowboarding one last time before leaving Christchurch.
Went to Mount Hutt. Only one major run open, but good conditions
and enough to get my fix. :) Had a good flight to Auckland and
went to Papa Jack's Voodoo Lounge again for my last night. Had
a blast!! Out till 6:30am. hehehe. Then took off from Auckland
at 8 last night (international date line made me live yesterday
twice! hehehe). And now I'm home! Ta-da! Awesome trip. Can't
wait till I travel again.

Well, the snow finally came a little... And Coronet opened last
Thursday so I went on opening day! But due to high winds, none
of the lifts were operational... so I had to walk up the hill
and board down... Good workout at least... 100k/h winds at top.
Spent a couple of days at Mount Cook this past weekend and was
one of the fortunate ones to see Mt Cook unabstructed by clouds!
BEAUTIFUL!
Am now in Christchurch for the final days of my trip. Not much
to see here, but it'll be nice to chill out before heading home.
Went for a nice walk with great views in Christchurch's southern
hills today. I fly to Auckland on Saturday then homeward on
Sunday! Woo hoo!
June 13 | pics
Queenstown is beautiful!! Loving it here. Mountains all around,
nice lake, cool atmosphere. No snow yet though... dammit...
so no snowboarding yet... Rented a car a couple of days ago
though and drove to many of the Lord Of The Rings sites and
got some good views of the Southern Alps (Misty Mountains).
And went bungy jumping yesterday!! 3 jumps! One off the original
bungy bridge and dipped in the river at 43m, the highest one
at 134m (CRAZY!!), and one overlooking Queenstown at 47m. Pretty
cool! Really gets the adrenaline pumping. :) Now I'm just relaxing
for a few days... trying not to spend money... waiting for the
snow to come... likely starting to head towards Christchurch
midweek.
June 8 | pics
Met a whole new set of people on the bus and now have some new
friends. The west coast of the South Island has been beautiful!
Mostly limestone, so lots of cool islands and cliffs of the
coast. Reminded me a little of the Great Ocean Road in Aus,
except there were more mountains here. :) Spent yesterday on
the Franz Josef Glacier!! SO much fun! Took a day trek up with
ice pick in hand and talons on my boots! Squeezing through deep
crevaces and checking out some ice caves. VERY cool. Well worth
the $95 price tag. Now I'm in Wanaka for the night and celebrating
Sarah's bday so I'm sure it'll be a big piss-up. Then on to
Queenstown finally tomorrow! Yay!
June 4 | pics
The ferry across to the South Island was nice! Got cloudy as
we went over but was beautiful coming into Picton. Mountainous
already! :) Then got back on the Kiwi Experience and went to
Nelson. Stayed there a couple of days and then got a bus up
to Takaka and was there for a day. Nothing too eventful but
it was nice. Then from Takaka, I was shuttled to the Heaphy
Track on June 1. It's one of the 10 Great Walks of NZ. A great
four day hike! Started off with some views of the mountains
and finished off with a day along the Heaphy Beach. Start to
finish was 82km! And stayed in huts along the way which were
heated by wood stoves and had gas cookers for meals. Pretty
sweet! Met some cool people in the huts too with whome I hiked
with. Now I'm in Westport and back on the Kiwi Experience tomorrow.
May 27 | pics
In Wellington now. Pretty nice city! Hasn't rained yet. Saw
the location Helm's Deep from the last Lord Of The Rings movie
and it wasn't fabulous... Just a quarry. And we passed by Mt
Doom after Taupo, but it was a bit too hazy for a good view...
I cross over by ferry to the south island tomorrow. Then it's
on to glaciers and mountains! Woo hoo!!
May 23 | pics
Arrived in Taupo! Have had rain since leaving Auckland on the
Kiwi Experience. Started off with a cool cove that looked like
the Great Ocean Road in Australia. Then down to the stinky city
of Rotorua where they have a lot of thermal activity (and smells
of sulfer...) Then over to Waitomo to go in some caves to see
Glow Worms that were really cool. And finally now down to Taupo
yesterday. Weather is a little better here but can't hike at
Mount Doom due to really bad weather there. But I went skydiving
today!! It was SO much fun! Loved it! Definitely the first of
many (once I can afford it). And hiked up Mt Tauhara to get
a good view of Lake Taupo as well. Pretty cool. I carry on south,
past Mt Doom, tomorrow.
May 14
I'm now in New Zealand!! Spent a couple of days in the Blue
Mountains for some hiking and camping before leaving Sydney.
Torential downpour all day yesterday... Happy to get out of
the rain. Had a good (but delayed) flight into Auckland today.
Seems like a nice city! I'm staying at the Auckland Central
Backpackers hostel for the several days that I'm here. I head
out on the Kiwi Experience bus on the 19th. First thing that
I did when I got here was getting my Matrix: Reloaded movie
ticket for 12:01am on the 16th. :) Can't wait!
May 9 | pics
I'm now back in Sydney and staying at Peta's till I fly to New
Zealand. Had a fun final week on the Oz Experience bus. Stopped
in Noosa, Mooloolaba, Nimbin, Byron Bay, Bellingen, and Nundle.
All of my beach locations were rained out... bah. But I still
went surfing one last time in the pouring rain at Byron Bay
and saw dolphins while I was at it! :) Pretty cool. Now to pull
an all-nighter for my last Club Blink night here in Sydney!
Woo!
Apr 29 | pics
Spent the past 3 days driving a 4x4 with 8 other people on Fraser
Island! LOTS of fun. Weather was decent enough, slept under
the stars one night, saw dingoes, swam in pure water lakes,
drank and sang by the campfire, etc. Had a blast. Fun driving
on sandy inland tracks through practically rainforest. Quite
cool.
Apr 22 | pics
Spent the past 3 days on a big sail boat!! Sailing around the
Whitsunday Islands, out from Airlie Beach. Other than it raining
for the first two days... it was beautiful! Stopped at Whitehaven
Beach which had incredible white sand! Very cool. And did about
2 hours of snorkelling (not quite as nice as my reef diving
trip though). Met more cool people of course, and now partying
with them in Airlie Beach for a couple of days. :)
Apr 14 | pics
Mostly having fun with friends from the bus while in Cairns.
Did a scuba diving trip to the Great Barrier Reef a few days
ago which was VERY fun. Loved it!! Lots of coloured fish and
coral and stuff. Clear water, beautiful sand. SO cool. Then
spent the past couple of days at Cape Tribulation which is a
beautiful beach/rainforest area. Probably the most secluded
and beautiful place I've been in Australia. Very enjoyable.
Now I relax a few days in Cairns before heading south down the
coast again. (need a break from the travelling...) Only a month
till I head to NZ! Yikes!
Apr 10 | pics
Made it to Cairns okay across the hot desert (with zillions
of flies). Remarkably greener than I'd imagined. The whole outback
isn't as barren as it used to be. Shrubs all over the place...
A lot of driving to get across on dirt tracks. Stayed in small
towns and made stops at relatively unimpressive places... Winton
was cool 'cause that's where QANTAS (Queensland And Northern
Territory Airline Service) started. Pretty cool. The last part
of the drive through the Atherton Tablelands was quite beautiful
though as we decended into Cairns.
Apr 7 | pics
Arrived in Alice Springs tonight. What a great trip! 18 of us
in a bus over 6 days. We all got to know each other really well.
Lots of fun. Started off heading into the Flinders Ranges and
we hiked up Mount Olyssen to see into the Wapena Pound. A LONG
drive up to Cooper Pedy to stay in an underground hostel and
learn about Opal Mining. Then on to Ayer's Rock... WOW!! SO
cool. Climbed up the very challenging slope and along the ridges
at the top. Great view! Walking around the base of it was fantastic
too. Quite a unique rock. :) Got pictures of it at sunrise,
then a hike around the Olgas, learned about much of the aboriginal
culture, then up to King's Canyon! VERY impressive. Probably
my favourite part of the trip so far. Fun cliffs to climb EVERYWHERE
to get spectacular views. I was hopping all over the place.
:) And the canyon itself was quite impressive. Had a waterhole
to swim in too with the canyon around us. Just fantastic!! Bus
broke down on the way to Alice today, so we arrived 4 hours
late... More goodbyes and up early to carry on to Cairns tomorrow.
Apr 1 | pics
Not much to do in Adelaide... Saw the Adelaide Crows home opener
of Aussie Rules Football which was pretty cool! And a great
time with friends in the evenings (even chipping my two front
teeth due to an air hockey puck!!). I leave them all behind
and head to the centre of Australia tomorrow. :(
Mar 29 | pics
Got to Adelaide today. Met a really good group of people on
the bus since Torquay. Starting along the Great Ocean Road (12
Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, etc) which was quite cool. Stayed
at Warnambool and saw Little Penquins! Then on to the Grampians
National Park to see McKenzie Falls and the Balconies. Pretty
cool. Then stopped for a couple of days in Natimuk to go rock
climbing at Mount Arapiles with a couple of friends I made on
the bus. VERY cool! 5 hours of climbing with a guide. Loved
it!
Adelaide seems a little boring but I'll be having fun with my
new friends from the bus. :)
Mar 24 | pics
Well, I've said my goodbyes to friends in Melbourne and started
my Oz Experience bus trip yesterday. I stopped at Torquay and
did a surf lesson yesterday which was fun. Rented a board today
but the conditions were quite bad so I didn't do nearly as well...
:(
Mar 19
Drove back to Hobart yesterday with a stop in Mount Fields National
Park to see Russell Falls. Dropped off the car then did a little
walking tour of Hobart. Stayed one last night at the Pickled
Frog and then up at 4:30 this morning to catch the bus to the
airport for my 6:35 flight back to Melbourne. What a great trip!
Can't wait to go back. :) Am now staying with the Thompsons
again till I leave Melbourne on Sunday.
Mar 17 | pics
Drove from Launceston to Cradle Mountain with a stop at Devil's
Gullet yesterday, camped last night, and hiked all day today.
Very foggy today but cleared up by mid afternoon... BEAUTIFUL
area. I really want to come back so that I can do the Overland
Trail which starts here.
Drove to Strahan on the west coast for the night. They had a
really fun St. Patrick's Day party in their only pub. hehehe.
Met a Dutch couple who I talked with all night and they won
the grand prize draw which included a lot of free beer, Midori,
a backpack cooler, etc. And so they gave me 12 of the cans of
VB (beer) for my trip. :) Lots of fun. One of my more memorable
St. Patrick's Days. :) Really wish that I had brought a camera
to the pub... bah.
Mar 15 | pics
Up early today to hiking up Mt Amos (middle peak of the Hazards)
in Freycinet NP. Very challenging but a quick climb. Back down
and hiked on to Wineglass Bay which had a beautiful beach where
I stayed for lunch and sun. Then back around to car and drove
up the east coast to St. Helens and inland to the St. Columba
Falls (highest in Tas - 90m) and onward to my destination of
Launceston (second-largest 'city' in Tas) for the night.
Mar 14 | pics
Drove to Richmond to see the most photographed convict-built
bridge. Then to Eaglehawk Neck to see some cool natural coast
formations on my way to Port Arthur. Took a picture and carried
on back up the coast to Coles Bay just outside of Freycinet
National Park to stay at the hostel there..
Mar 13 | pics
Flew into Hobart, Tasmania last night on Virgin Blue. Stayed
at the Pickled Frog hostel last night and tonight and rented
a wreck to tour with for the week. Spent today southwest of
Hobart. Hiked to the peak of Hartz Mountain, drove all the way
down to the most southern town in all of Australia called Cockle
Creek, and back up the scenic route to Hobart.
Mar 9 | pics
It's a holiday Monday tomorrow (Labour Day), so there was a
special Goo night at the Metro Nightclub tonight (where I always
go on Thursdays). Fun day and night. And pics this time!!
Also, had my last week of work this week. Regisistered Challenger
in Victoria to help it to sell, and it worked! I sold it on
Friday!! For $3250... not great, but better than nothing...
Have to get it roadworthy too which is going to be about $800
worth of repairs... Bah.
It was Grand Prix weekend here in Melbourne too. I could hear
the cars zipping around from where I was in the city today.
It's also the Moomba Festival weekend which involved many events,
including water skiing on the Yarra River downtown. Pretty cool.
Feb 23 | pics
Happy Birthday to me! :) Had a fun weekend with Matt and Cait.
Went to the Great Britain Hotel last night where we had pints
of "Piss" and talked with some strangers in the basement of
the place (which looked remarkably like the basement of a UofT
frat house... hehehe). But a good time for sure. Matt cooked
breakfast at 4am when we got home which was fantastic! And I
had fajitas for dinner at TGI Fridays tonight with them. Not
as good as the Lone Star Cafe but it'll have to do. Only two
more weeks of work in Melbourne to go! :)
Feb 9 | pics
Peta is in town until Wednesday. We went to the St. Kilda Festival
today. TONS of people! Supposedly close 200,000 people! One
of the bigger festivals in the southern hemisphere.
AND, I moved into my new place a couple of days ago!! A 2 bedroom
apt with a New Zealander. Decent place in Moonee Ponds (15 mins
train to downtown Melbourne). Everything that I need. And only
$390/mth. Sweet.
Also, been working 10-5 all week last week, still doing MS Access
stuff for IEP. Hopefully some web stuff coming up this week.
Feb 1 | pics
Went down to Torquay for the day today with Caitlin and Mathew.
Pretty fun! Saw Bell's Beach (where Point Break was filmed --
great surfing). Nice beaches (but not as nice as Jervis Bay...).
Jan 27 | pics
Big Day Out was today! Wow! Great music festival! Just non-stop
bands that were good. Pacifier, Millencolin, Deftones, The Vines,
Machine Gun Fellatio, Jimmy Eat World, The Living End, Queens
of the Stoneage, Jane's Addiction, Underworld, and Foo Fighters!!
Totally kicked ass. Got some good pics too. :)
Also spent yesterday with Caitlin and friends of hers for the
Triple J Hotest 100 countdown on the radio. Queens of the Stoneage
got number 1 with No One Knows! Good stuff. It was also Australia
Day. Had a good time with them celebrating. :)
Jan 23 | pics
Well, I started work today! I'm doing some casual IT stuff for
IEP (Australia's version of SWAP). Just MS Access database stuff
for now and probably 20hrs/week but will hopefully end up being
a full time web development project. Fingers crossed. :)
Plus some pics of Kirsty's house and family.
Jan 19 | pics
Toured Melbourne today so a bunch of pics from Melbourne are
here.
Jan 16 | pics
I'm FINALLY in Melbourne... Staying with Kirsty's family (a
girl that I met when I was in Europe). But I've been in Orbost
this whole time... The coil didn't come till Tuesday and it
was the wrong size... So it didn't come again until last night
and they finally fixed it this morning. Bah! Orbost was the
most boring town EVER. Nothing to do but sit in my car... But
the drive through Lakes Entrance and the 90 Mile Beach was nice
and have made it to Melbourne now. Hooray!
Jan 10 | pics
Beautiful drive south through the mountains yesterday. Mostly
a bumpy windy road... Got to within 50km of Buchan in the foothills
again and my car stopped... the gas just wouldn't go... after
hitching to Buchan, a mechanic going out to look at it, then
being towed to Orbost today, it would appear that it's the coil
for the distributor... And they can't get the part till Monday
so I'll be staying at the local campsite till then... Bah! My
night in Buchan last night was a lot of fun though. Met a cool
guy from Melbourne and played guitar with him and others. Fun
night. Up till 3am with them. :)
Jan 8 | pics
Drove to Charlotte's Pass and did the 22km hike loop up the
top of Mt Kosciuszko! Beautiful panoramic look of the mountains
at the top. Beautiful! Walked right through a thunder storm
too... The sun came out again but the lightning started a few
bush fires around the area... Drove to the Beehi campsite further
into the mountains. Fires just past there but was still able
to camp there because of the wind direction. Great campsite
with kangaroos and mountain view. Could see one of the smaller
fires too.
Jan 7 | pics
Went to the Australian War Memorial (large place with exhibits
for WW1, WW2, etc) and the National Museum of Australia (a modern
look at the history and lifestyle of Australia) in Canberra.
And drove to Jindabyne in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains.
Nice town on an artificial lake.
Jan 6 | pics
My drive to Melbourne commenced today! Went down the coast south
of Sydney as far as Bateman's Bay then up to Canberra. Cool
"Blow Hole" at Kiama, Jervis Bay had great white sand beaches
and cool cliffs, and saw my first kangaroos at Murramarang NP!
A great day.
Jan 4 | pics
Went to Old Syndey Town today with Theresa's whole family. Prety
nice. Great representation of what Sydney was like in 1807 and
fun actors getting the crowd involved.
Jan 3 | pics
Did a bit of touring to all the places that I hadn't been to
see in Sydney. Up the Sydney Tower, Harour cruise, and the Olympics
Site. Lots of pics.
Jan 1, 2003 | pics
Happy New Year!! Wow, the fireworks over Sydney Harbour were
spectacular!! Very cool. And we had a great view of the special
effects on the Harbour Bridge too. Totally kicked ass.
Dec 30 | pics
Went to Bathurst (3 hours west) for the weekend to visit a couple
of girls that I met at Club Blink a couple of weeks back. Fun
and relaxing time. Reminded me a little of Uxbridge. But slightly
bigger. VERY cool racetrack.
Went to the Blue Mountains on my way back today. Beautiful!!
Got a freakin speeding ticket though when I was not paying attention,
looking for the tourist office... 72 in a 50 zone on a downhill...
bastard cops here... relentless...
Dec 25 | pics
Merry Christmas! I spent today with Peta's family! Had lunch
with her mom's side of the family and then dinner with her dad's
side of the family. Really nice. Pretty similar traditions to
home. Except it's summer and they have cold turkey and half
rather than hot. And we listened to the Beach Boys while opening
presents. hehehe. Quite fun.
Another Scottish friend of mine, Angela, who I knew at Travel
CUTS stopped by yesterday, on her way up to Brisbane. She's
living in Melbourne so I'll see more of her once I'm there.
Dec 23 | pics
I went surfing today!! It was so much fun! Overcast and a little
cool all day, but still had a good time. I was the first one
standing! VERY tiring trying to walkout into the whitewash.
Only tried a couple of real waves and nosedived... need more
practice for that... need to stand up faster... We'll see if
I can try it again sometime soon...
Dec 22
Fun night last night. It was Emma's (Peta's sister) birthday
and so had a big dinner with her friends and went out to Retro
downtown. (a retro club). Lots of fun, drank too much. Peta
and I were sick this morning... ugh...
Friday was my last day at work so now I have a few weeks off
before heading down to Melbourne and getting a new job there.
Dec 18
Mike (GRSP) from Scotland and his girlfriend came through Sydney
so they stayed with me for the past couple of days. Played some
pool and had fun at Scruffy Murphy's last night (a fun pub with
mostly travellers in it). They continued on to Brisbane today.
Dec 12
Daniel left for New Zealand today. He'll be on his way home
next week.
We named the kitten Terra. Because she's a little terror! Excessively
friendly and playful. :)
Dec 8 | pics
Went for a really nice rollerblade today at Manly Beach. Nice
promenade to rollerblade along. (It's really hard to find a
flatness in Sydney... really hilly...)
Bought myself an acoustic guitar and case yesterday for my Day
of Infamy present. And Ashton cutaway with a pickup! And a heavy
duty case for about $400. Not too bad. Coloured my hair red
too. 20 day dye. hehehe. Daniel bought Peta a kitten for xmas
too so we have a new flatmate. :)
Dec 5
BAD bush fires in southern Sydney... The trains were down most
of the day yesterday. Didn't quite get as far over as Peta's
parents. Came right up close to Theresa's but not quite. Scary...
So in case you've seen the news, don't worry, I'm okay. :)
Dec 1 | pics
Helped Daniel and Peta move into her new place and I have decided
to use her spare room. It's a really nice apartment in Gymea
(40 mins train south of downtown). Means a longer trip to work
but should be okay. Will be paying less than I was paying Jo
to live with her. And it's 2 mins from the train station. Good
stuff.
Nov 28
Moved out of Jo's today. It's over. Not pretty... I'll be staying
in a hostel for a couple of nights and maybe move into Peta's
new place (she moves in this weekend). Have decided that I'll
sell the car too since it's obviously cursed... I think I'll
do the Oz Experience bus thingy. I get to hop on and hop where
I please on the route that I want to take, and I'll meet more
travellers. We'll see.
Nov 24 | pic
Went to Coogie Beach and had a visit at the Palace. Cool place
beside the beach for a few drinks. But Jo and I aren't on the
best of terms any more... Differences in what we want out of
the relationship I think. Doubt it it'll last much longer.
Nov 23
Found another modern rock club called Club Blink in Kings Cross.
Much more like the Phoenix at home. Lots of fun. Loved it. But
woke up today to a call from Daniel saying that the car was
broken again! Luckily they heard hissing before driving the
car or it would have blown the head gasket again... Another
leaky hose! Getting it checked in Menai this time by a mechanic
that Peta's dad trusts. Hopefully it'll be properly fixed this
time...
Nov 19
The car is finally fixed... A/C not working so will fix that
tomorrow... Took a drive back out to Manly and North Head in
celebration. :)
Nov 17 | pics
A little trip to the Sydney Aquarium! Pretty damn cool!
Nov 7 | pics
Finally got another job. More data entry. This time for the
Nutrimetics head office (big worldwide costmetics company).
I look after keying in all the fax orders that we get and keying
whatever else needs to be keyed in... fun stuff... but I get
to call women when they screw up their orders... Pretty funny
actually. Will make me more confident on the phone I'd think.
Also Daniel is coming back to Sydney and the car is being towed
here to be fixed in Sydney. Looks like it'll be around $1550
to replace the engine with a reconditioned engine... Great...
Nov 3
Another little trip to Canberra! Went for StoneFest '02. Live
DJs on Friday night which was fun and then rock bands on Saturday.
But our car broke down so I only ended up seeing the last few
bands on Saturday. Aparently we blew the head gasket due to
a leaky water hose... Bah! So Daniel stayed in Canberra to look
after it... Peta, Jo, and I drove back with one of Peta's friends.
Nov 1 | pics
Finished working for the Australian Corporate Games. No other
work yet.
Fun Hallowe'en party at our place last night! We even went trick
or treating around the building!
Oct 28
Moved out of my place in Bondi and into a really nice apartment
in Ultimo (closer to downtown) with a girl that I've been seeing
for the past week. Yes, I'm moving in with someone that I've
known a week... Freaky... only when travelling... :) Her name
is Jo and she's from Colorado. Yes, an American. I don't know
what I'm doing. ;-)
Oct 27
Finally found a club with modern rock! Went to Club 77 last
night. Opens at midnight, goes all night, and all hard stuff.
Totally kicked ass! :)
Oct 18
Started a new job today. Enterring data for the Australian Corporate
Games. Just had to enter participants into the database from
application forms. Boring...
Oct 15
My first job! Working for Lawson Menzies Auctions. Just putting
labels on wine bottles to number them for the auction. Worked
with Ben Howard from England to get the numbers right.
Oct 14
Moved into a new place close to Bondi Beach. Not nearly as nice,
not accessible to the rest of the house, but at least it's a
locked room on my own (so Daniel moved in with me too). Had
dinner with Theresa and family (longtime friend of Dad's).
Oct 13 | pics
A weekend trip to Canberra with Daniel and Peta to visit some
of Peta's friends, party, and see the sights. Very fun time!
My might move in with Caitlin (the blond) when I head to Melbourne.
Oct 10
Stuff went missing last night from our apartment including a
couple of cameras, cd player, my two chargers (for mobile phone
and CD player). Since I was the only one living there that the
rest didn't know, they decided to kick me out just to be safe...
Stupid... Stayed with Daniel in the meantime... Also had an
interview with a temp agency called Adecco! Went really well!
I'll be doing data entry jobs soon! (after a month of travelling,
I'm pretty broke...)
Oct 6
Fun weekend with Peta from IEP and other Bunac/SWAP participants.
Cronulla Beach then a party at Peta's with mixed drinks, music,
etc yesterday. Up much of the night. :)
Oct 3 | pics
Took the ferry over to Manly Beach and North Head (the entranceway
to Sydney Harbour). Beautiful area! Picture from my place in
Bondi too.
Oct 2
Daniel and I bought our first car today! A '91 Holden Apollo
Wagon (same as a Toyota Camry). We also agreed to move into
an nice apartment near Bondi Beach with a few Americans.
Sep 30 | pics
My first week in Australia! Just some random shots in downtown
Sydney and at my hostel. Looking for a place to live and looking
for jobs...
Sep 26 | pics
Met up with Daniel before leaving LA and made another great
stopover in Fiji. Five days was enough though. :) Landed in
Sydney and got the train to our hostel. Hello Australia!!
Sep 19 | pics
Pictures of my nine days in Los Angeles. Beach, Hollywood, Universal
Studios, etc.
Sep 10, 2002
My trip has begun! Caught my flight out of Toronto and landed
in Los Angeles with no problems. Caught the bus from the airport
and found my way to Julie & David's in Hermosa Beach. Easy!
