Wow, tired of working...
Yeah, it's official, I want to be a tourist again. No, wait that's a little drastic. I hate tourists. I want to be a backpacker again.... on the move meeting new people every couple of days. Unfortunately, my bank account dictates otherwise. However, I can now see a specific point in the future where I may return to travelling -- March 9th. My flight is booked. I'm heading to New Zealand for a month. Gonna be an awesome time.
Sarge and Haley and Lahey are there, as well as some kiwis I've met on my travels. My apologies to any dislexics out there, Haley (Lyons) and Chris (Lahey)....different people.
Til then of course, I'm still working at the tree nursery. It should give me some sweet hookups cause the company's got other nurseries around OZ, one in Darwin in the NT and one in Donnybrook in WA, so I may have more work if I travel around. Guaranteed work is good cause I really really hate trying to find jobs...
Know anything or anyone in NZ? Let me know and I'll visit him/her/it/there...
Oh yeah, Happy Valentines to all the ladies...both domestic (hold on, not insulting) and international.

I love the tourist vs. backpacker debate. It's such a fine line yet we all find a way to define it. As soon as you drop $300 for a cruise to an island, or a 4x4 drive across it you are a tourist because well -- that's a tour. (*note: I am neither a backpacker or tourist. I place my self in the elusive 3rd category -- traveller. It's a sweet category probably fit more for people like Reuben who go to Korea for 4 weeks, and hitchhike across Canada but whatever ... I do what I want.)
