Fairy's big Sydney adventure.......

[fairybasslet]

Packing? Are you joking? I still need to buy more stuff. At the last minute of course so that I can drive myself even more crazy than I am.
Seriously though, I do need a focusing light. When things are too dark uw, my Oyl 7070 refuses to focus. Plus, I would be able to bring my camera on a night dive.

I was also thinking of a new wetsuit, or at least a hooded vest for when things get chilly. Yes, I can get cold in a 3mm in 83 F degree water.

However, to prepare, I am reading this:
Amazon Online Reader : In a Sunburned Country

Getting to meet the almitywife in person, and stay at her house, and sleep on her couch......
AND dive in Australia....
I think I could weep.....

Uh oh. I knew Wildcard sounded familiar. I guess we'd better agree not to talk politics on this trip. In fact, I think the Wench will insist.

Thanks mate. Yep, I'd better think about buying that stuff I need.

OMG now I feel so guilty make you go through all of this. But just think of all the junk you got rid of. And I have to say, spending a few days with awesome people like you guys, even if I slept on the floor, is more precious to me that a 5 star hotel. I'd rather have friends around me than amenities.

 

[almitywife]

heheheheh almitees over amenities.....ohhhh shucks!!!!!!!

actually good to reclaim the junk room - also known as my sewing room so gave me an excuse to clean up

ive even got hot chick Neets telling me she will spirit you off one night in her hot red convertable sportscar for a evening trek around sydney...... i have been in the car withs Neets driving, i refer to it as a turbo shopping cart so beware!
