trip update

Today is my last day in Sydney, I’m flying to Melbourne tomorrow morning after one week here.  Great week, great New Years celebration.  If my current plan works out tomorrows flight will be the last time I travel to a new city for a while, hopefully I’ll find a job in Melbourne for a few months.  My travel has slowed down immensely since I got to Australia. (3 towns – 2 1/2 weeks).  Quite a change from New Zealand and even more so from Asia before that.  So this basically marks the end of the first half of the backpacking part of my trip, 4 1/2 months in.  A few months working, then there will be around 5-6 months backpacking 3 more continents (plus hopefully both coasts of Oz) after working.

I’m looking forward to settling in to a new city, going to shows, some of the plethora  of sporting events in Melbourne and it’ll be nice not to have to stuff everything into my backpack every few days.  Still, in another way I’m already looking forward to backpacking around the remaining places on my trip.  Travel is addictive!  I’ll probably be updating the blog less during my stay in Melbourne, less stuff to blog about.  So don’t think I fell off the planet or anything.

I hope everyone back home had a great New Years!  2008 was a fantastic year for me, particularly the 2nd half of it.  Hopefully 2009 will be even better, and there’s every chance it will be.
