Signing off....

I should have done this earlier, but it's been a busy time since returning to Canada on August 20th. I think it's probably best if I don't go into details about my two week vacation with Ashton so that I still have a couple stories to tell if anyone out there wants to chat about the summer.

Some bullet points to get us started when we meet:
- Sydney has a great downtown area
- Scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef is about as cool as it gets
- Australia is expensive (probably more expensive than our trip to Italy)
- Steve Irwin's (think Crocodile Hunter) Zoo is awesome
- Virgin Blue is the best domestic airline in Australia
- 'Inception' in IMAX was awesome
- Byron Bay really is as picturesque as everyone says it is
- getting to hang out with old Aussie friends from uni was a lot of fun
- Jet lag was bad bug manageable

For anyone who catches this final post, I hope you enjoyed the blog. If I ever get the chance to do some international work in the future I might do something similar. Even if no one reads it, it's still a nice way for me to record memories for the future. I only chose to do it as a blog because I thought the rest of you might get some entertainment out of the deal.

I'll leave you with a few Scuba photos. Goodnight everybody.

And one photo of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge for the road...

 Ok, maybe one more...
