My blog has been empty for the last couple of months because quite simply. I have not left Australia. Sadness.
There was an option to travel around England with my parents, but I finally decided to give my career a good go, rather than take my neverending holidays. I hope it pays off some time in the future...otherwise, there's reason to be sad about that too. (In all seriousnesss, I think it was a good thing I stayed in Sydney to work on a few interesting projects)
So to compensate for lack of flights out of this city, I've been trying to get out of Sydney...
Just last weekend I went to the Blue Mountains for a weekend-away trip with the girls. Unlike most 'girly' trips, this was not the 'relaxing' type. So stay tuned as I will be blogging about that trip! I will say it was an awesome trip to keep my readers (if there are any left!) amused.
Back in August, I also went up to the Central Coast (Gosford/Terrigal) - to see a friend and her family. August was literally the first time I left Sydney since March this year. It's hard to believe that once you stop moving, you really stop moving. And just a drive out of the Sydney Metropolitan area becomes an accomplishment. I was so pleased that I did get out of Sydney that day though - just for a change of scenery and vibe; and of course to see a friend I had not seen in a few years and her new bub who is just so adorable!
This weekend I have a trip to Jervis Bay for an 'adventure' challenge. I'm getting quite excited about seeing the white sands and the crystal clear waters of Jervis Bay. The first time I ever went to Jervis Bay was when I was 11 years old, and I still have a clear memory of the beauty of this place. Now, I just need to get through that adventure challenge and then I can relax and take in the scenery of Jervis Bay.
Now for overseas travel...any news??
I will be travelling somewhere for Christmas 2011! My first Christmas away from Sydney in 4 years! I am getting quite excited about it. I am not going to a new place at all, in fact, to the country I have been to the most number of times - Malaysia. I usually don't consider a trip to Malaysia as a holiday at all, but I just have to take what I can get. 11 Days in Malaysia, I really hope to cover more than the usual KL & Sitiawan this time. I must! Hope to be seeing Penang, Melacca and maybe Singapore to visit friends if time permits. But the point of Malaysia 2011, is really to end the year in a relaxed state. I've been on-the-go these last few months in terms of everything, and I just need to take some time out. Need to start 2012 full of energy so I can conquer more countries and travel. So far I am thinking France & England...but who knows?!
