Knock Knock

I woke up on Sunday morning with plans to see an old friend from high school. She had just finished a Southeast Asia tour and is now living and working in Brisbane until she can get to New Zealand. I love how small this world can be sometimes. I'm halfway across the world from home and high school and here I find one of my mates; it's pretty cool. So, we had been trying to hook up for a few days and Sunday was supposed to be the day. Maybe. Probably. Chantelle had lost her cellphone charger and her mobile was dead so we were limited in our communications. Nevertheless, I hopped on the train at 11:45 and went downtown in hopes that we could meet up somewhere.
Well, I didn't end up meeting with Chantelle, but I did meet with someone else. My old friend Ryan, now married to the beautiful Charissa, called me and we three met for sodas on the grass at Southbank. We had a great two hours of chatting, laughing, and catching up on the last few years. At 3:30, Charissa had to return home to finish some homework and I had a meeting at Peterpan's travel agency.  I left with an invitation to attend church with them next Sunday night and I'd love to take them up on that if I'm still in Brisbane (probably will be).
I had seen a deal in the travel agency window and wanted to ask into it. So, I met with the travel agent, chatted about fun ways to get to Cairns, signed up for their job board, and went home with lots of decisions to make. As I mentioned in my blog yesterday (prematurely since I was writing about the 25th and really that info was from the 26th), I'm hoping to head to Cairns to get an island resort job; Peterpan's is helping me out by getting a great package together so I can experience the beaches and gorgeous Northern Queensland climate as I make my way to tropical Cairns.
At 5:30 I hopped on a train back home, picked up a couple movies at Mio's work, then ate leftovers and watched Rom-Coms : )
Ready for adventures to begin!
