Road Trips PDF Print E-mail

I have decided to embark on a road trip to a few capital cities in Australia, and make my way down to the ones I miss out another time. The reason why I'm going on the road is because air fares plus car rentals will equate to the same costs of me driving my own car; maybe slightly cheaper. And by having my own car, it's just one less thing to worry about.

My destinations for June is Adelaide, Perth, and Gold Coast, Brisbane. In July, I will be going to Canberra and Sydney. I have Tasmania as my next hit whenever possible, and Alice Springs, Ayers Rock, and Darwin as my final destination as this will be the longest trip of them all where I require much more time to drive through.

June is going to be mayhem no doubt as I will constantly be on the road but I know I will enjoy every moment of it, even driving; I'll be taking photos along the way of anything that catches my eye.

If anybody knows of any cheap accomodation, let me know; I'll be needing it. At this point in time, I only have Hostel World for my searches and it's pretty decent thus far.

Just a quickie again but just been a long week sort of with friends of a friend visiting Melbourne and me being the taxi. Good fun really, driving around, nevertheless.

One came last Thursday and was only dropping by through Melbourne for a couple of nights or so and thus my friend caught up with them and I was the taxi. We did a bit of shopping at DFO, Direct Factory Outlet, as there wasn't much to do unfortunately during daytime Melbourne, let alone within Melbourne itself. She left on Friday.

Yesterday, similar thing where they were passing by Melbourne, a few unfortunate events and she ends up with us, and once again I'm the taxi. Did a bit of shopping also or looking around at the very least, and she went up to Brisbane this afternoon.

Really nice to meet them and chit chat with them but seriously, as I said:

"Is it really that fun walking around aimlessly... in hope to find something that may be on bargain?"

Sorry, I'm just the in and out kind of guy when it comes to shopping and still learning the concept of bargainning; I have much to learn.

Well, not much has happened other than a few more articles I have in mind of writing for the LDS section and a Nationite OS-43 review.

I have been spending most of my time during the last week finding some work but mainly working on Bits & Pieces - Pryon Computers.

I've finished registering it and hopefully Commonwealth Bank Australia will accept my application to run my business and everything should be relatively set.

Long has it been since I last wrote here but much has happened; I'll be brief on it all this time.

Commonwealth Bank declined my application for an online merchant account because I was running a 'new business', but I'm still working hard for it.

Stephen taught us how to make Bunny Chow and a very simple, yet delectable, chocolate cake to which we have no known name for one Tuesday night for Young Men and we played a bit of Buzz! Quiz TV. I didn't decorate my cake when I made it at home for Mother's Day so it's really just a block of white whip cream, but inside is filled with delicious secrets. Here's a picture I found of bunny chow though for those interested:

A lot of driving around and errands running.

And we had a dance on Friday with a farm theme. It was great fun with the live band and the step dancing and such; it really got the YSA (Young Single Adults) active, or at least half of them but nevertheless better than the usual.

Other than that, just working on the business in developing the pages and looking for some part-time work.

Who's interested in sponsoring me overseas?

On Monday I went out for a BBQ lunch the missionaries wanted to hold for fellowshipping with members and investigaters, and get rid of some spare food they had in the fridge.

Later that night I went out for a swim.
