moving away from home

hey people, well today darcy and i have decided to leave our lovely home of noosa, we're off to the tiny town of maroochadyre (or something like that) for a couple days, mostly because i was reading about the area on one of the nights when i was clinically insane bored. i found this place and found a couple things we could do down there, namely a couple museums that darcy may be interested in, and a tunnel aquarium where we'll get to see all the fish we didn't get to while diving. also we'll check out the surfing scene down there. on that note there's an update on our board situation...amazingly, on the way home after my last post, with one surf board in hand, i decided to drop in this one little surf shop that we had been in earlier but hadn't found anything, anyway i saw another board, same brand and look as the one we had, jus a little shorter, which was exactly what we wanted. so i did a little bartering and for another $460 we came out with our second board of the day!!! all in all it was a $1000+ day with hostels, food, etc. so yah we're doing well sticking to our $65/day budget. unfortunately we still have to come back for the board bag though so we might be back in noosa later. the receptionists at our hostel here know us by name now so when we checked out this morning they were all surprised that we were leaving. earlier this week i forgot my key in my room and i told the receptionist and she didn't bat an eye or ask a question before giving me another key for the room. she knew my name and my room number already. anyway yah so now we're leaving our celebrity status, although when we said we were going to maroochadyre they said we'd be back cuz "its shit there" lol. so we'll see. k welli was going to upload some pictures but its not working right now, perhaps cuz i'm loading them all onto facebook. so if you can check em out there otherwise i'll try again later. oh dad i just bought John Grisham's 'the broker' to help pass time when i have nothing to do. i know you own it so i couldn't stand that i was buying it again but oh well, done the first 5 chapters already. Oh and to all people out there, never, ever watch "the duchess" worst movie ever. enjoy

I talked to Jason Benn and he said Noosa was a good place to get temporary work, sounded like not every place in Australia is neccessarily easy to get work. But now with the exchange rate more in your favor, has the money crunch eased? And I did not think your bus pass allowed you to backtrack so how are you going to return to Noosa? But if you are, then give me the adress puhleeese!

You mean, not even Keira Knightley can save it?
