My best friend got back to Sydney on Saturday (07-02-2004) from her Europe trip that lasted for 5 weeks. She had an awesome time even though she was freezing her butt off. She also put on weight, which is the opposite to what she thought would happen. But i did tell her that her sister was not the type to be stringent on money for food. All the 3 course dinners (part of her package), all the cheese, all the alcohol, all the chocolates...hehehe...luckily for her, she is tall and has a slender frame and the weight will just give her curves!
Another friend just completed a 3 week road trip of the East Australian Coast. The highlight of her trip was the white water rafting expedition she went on. She drove and alternated with her bf. I just spoke to her today - she isnt too happy about being back to work. I had mentioned to her that my best friend and I will do a Europe trip in about 1.5-2 years from now, but it will be Europe in Summer, not Winter. Cos we want to incorporate the Greek Islands. She is utterly itching to go, but her excuse "not to" was soo cute!
Her and her bf are saving for a house...mind you they are not engaged or anything. They are the same age as i am. We all went to high school together.
Their story began when he wrote a love letter to her in Year 7. He gave her the letter and she read it, and she did the most sensible thing. She spoke to him and told him that she was too young to be "together" with anyone, but that she valued him as a friend. Throughout high school, he was always there as her "friend". Once in a while, he gave her something to show her that he cared about her...but to ease any tensions the poor guy had to get something for us, her friends...hehehe...but her's was always the best or most special! It wasn't until after high school did they get together. When the HSC was completed my friend no longer had any excuse to say "no". And they have been together since their first date, which was a week after the HSC. I think this is a demonstration that persistance pays off! hehehe
My travel agent called me last nite to inform me of cheap tix to the Gold Coast...i got two other people to join me and when i got to work today, i made a tentative booking for a studio apartment directly across from Sea World. Called my travel agent to give her the names of the people who confirmed 100% sure that they were going to go. I sit and wait. She calls back to say that the tix sold out! -_-"
I was devastated...it was so hyped...and my manager gave me approval to take a days leave. Ive never been to the good ol sunshine coast! I was going to go with people who wanted to go on the theme rides...and do all those silly things with me! And now? bummer! =( But i shall be going to do some scuba diving locally on the weekend i should have gone to the Gold Coast! hehehe hopefully that isnt booked out!
Its bad when u have a travel agent that calls you at home to tell you of special deals! The feet starts itching...
