There's an hour left before we head to the airport to ensure that our bikes can join our trip to Brisbane. We're finally all packed, rooms tidied, dogs stressed at our leaving, it seems that we're ready to go!
It still hasn't really hit me that I'm going for my first work-related travel trip. I'm pretty excited still. Actually had trouble sleeping last night! I've got my maps of Brisbane CBD and South Brisbane as well as directions from our hostel to the Metro Arts Centre. I'm pretty happy that we only seem to be 2.88km from where we're working so it's not a huge hike to get there.
Currently waiting for the rest of the Herman's Hermits songs to download in iTunes. Mrs Brown's daughter is lovely indeed. There has to be much tacky music for a month long trip. Them's the rules!
There's an internet cafe set up at our hostel so the internet access should be pretty good. I'm still telling myself that I'll go swimming everyday in the pool there. If it's not heated I may yet revise that plan.
It's looking like we'll have a quite a few days free in QLD at the end of our trip so we're thinking of heading further up north if we have the funds and travelling back to Brissie for the return flight. Still remains to see how much time we have though. It's likely to be a spur of the moment decision from the two of us... a bit like the inn stays in Nikko & Narita but less Japanese.
Well, it's idiot check time now that my cheesy old songs have been added to my iTunes library. So I'll catch you all from Brisbane!
As a final side note, I can't believe we won't get to see Naomi when we get home! We'll miss you Naomi!

Glow-In-The-Dark Mini Golf - Bad
So we probably should have realised that glow-in-the-dark mini golf was going to be a bit lacking... Call us optimistic!
Wednesday night saw us swing dancing in Glen Waverley. It was funny because we had been talking (and trying to dance our way through) the two moves we knew in tandem Charleston and the class was about tandem Charleston and we worked on those two moves! We also knew the instructor from the Shim Sham workshop we did last year. Now there's a fun dance! Originated from tap dancing I believe, the Shim Sham is a bit of a swing/tap line dance that breaks into a mad frenzy of partner-finding for the last third of the song. Fun for all involved! Anyhow, when we get back from Bris Vegas we're planning to go back to swing dancing and pick up our level 2 classes again to try and master the Lindy Hop. I think I'm going to give leading a shot at our next class too... although I definitely need to keep up the work on following.
Anyhoo, we decided to give glow-in-the-dark mini golf a shot after a bland dinner as a relaxing end to the night. Gene won by one shot so he's one up on the Melbourne Mini-Golf competition between the two of us. It was all in all a bit horrible though. The girl at the counter was, unsurprisingly, not thrilled to be there. When we tried to query the opening hours (the website said from 18:00-22:00 while the sign at the place said 10:00-22:00) she got all condescending and chose to express her displeasure by pointing out the first "tee" three times to us... It was also incredibly hard to see in their (so you couldn't actually see the holes sometimes. It should have been fun but they managed to make it rather lacking. Moral of the story? No glow-in-the-dark mini golf, got it? Okay, as long as that's clear...
Yesterday was a quiet day where we started to try and get ourselves ready for Monday's 09:00 start at Brisbane Festival. So the alarm went off at 08:38 (I like setting it for non-half-hour increments) and we got out of bed at 08:58. The first few hours of the day saw me knitting (I'm almost through Dad's scarf) and then we headed into the city to have lunch with Gene's Mum. We stopped off to buy me a new Palm (PDA) case and it's sooooo pretty! Surprise surprise, it's black! Aluminum with a belt clip. I was mainly after something black with belt clip so it works out well. Only thing I don't like is that there a widget that sticks out when you take it off the belt clip so it doesn't sit flat on a table unless you unscrew the widget and then it's likely to get lost. Poor design but pretty nonetheless. Gram, Gene's car, had a bit of a hissy fit as we were trying to find a park in town which was a bit of a pain, but she got us there and back so it's all good.
For the evening we went on our date to the Red Salmon in Knox and it was quite lovely. The service was a tad interesting (we asked for a dessert menu and instead of giving us a menu she told us that we had to pay at the counter) but not terrible. Food was okay, not the best in the world but pleasant to eat. After that we played a game of pool and a game of Time Crisis 2 at the cinema before heading over to good ol' Time Zone to pass our last half hour before the movie. We played on our old favourite, the rifle game where you shoot targets to make stuff move, and also tried a dodgy bowling game. A few games later and the half hour was gone so we went to the counter to redeem our e-tickets, apparently you don't get to watch the zillions of tickets print at the game anymore, its' all networked. We returned triumphant with a plastic yo-yo, a tub of putty in a toilet, a black bangle and two of those things that throw a ball in the air when you press the trigger and you have to try and catch it in the basket. All worth the $10 no doubt. Pirates was perfectly indulgent. It was all the cheese and humour that I loved about the first one with some nicely placed references. Same ridiculous and fantastic style and well, Johnny Depp. Mmmmm. I liked it. I liked it lots. It was fun and pretty good for a sequel to a film based on a ride. Yay!
Today is cleaning day. Time to re-box our stuff for the month in Brisbane and pack what we need because we're leaving tomorrow! Last minute purchases required include insect repellant, a bike light and some sunscreen. Tommorrow? Well we'll just have to wait and see.

Swing Fever
There is no known cure for swing fever. It's easily contracted through social outings where swing music is played. Symptoms include going for several swing classes per week as well as practicing in your spare time. You may also find yourself trying to swing dance to non-swing music or just swing dancing to no music. Beware - it can take over your life!
Last night we had a swing fever relapse. One swing dancing class with Naomi & Nick and BAM! We're going again tonight for a class in Glen Waverley. We had a cruisy swing dance this afternoon after lunch to see how many moves we could remember from our last workshop - we only trod on one of the dogs but he did step into us well after we started... I still feel bad about that. After that I proved just how unfit I am with a bike ride around a couple of blocks.
We cycled past my our old house, the place that I'll always picture as home because I lived there for at least 15 years, and found that they'd managed to cut down the big fir tree in the front yard. Must have cost a bit as it was crazily near the power lines. It was weird though, to see the gaping big hole. Aside from that it looks the same.
I can't believe I'm going to Brisbane in three days. I just feel like I should be more packed or something. More than anything I can't believe that not all my friends are going to be in easily visited distance when we get back.
Swing dancing last night was lots of fun and the dinner was pretty damn good too! It was a little sad to say goodbye to Naomi because we'll miss her and not get to farewell her on her trip - unless by sheer luck we meet at the Brisbane airport which isn't such a far fetched idea apparently. It's exciting to know that we're all travelling and exploring the world. It's also kind of scary too because it's all happening so quickly. Or it feels like it is. I feel a little like I'm playing catch-up with life at the moment.
For now though, I'm going to try not to let it get to me. I'm just going to enjoy the swing dancing and take it one day at a time.

Grumpus Returns
Today is a grumpy day because I can't find my black leather belt. I know this is a trivial matter but as someone who has a great deal of trouble finding belts that are both functional and fit, I am grumpy without it. It would seem that I've lost weight so now I actually need a belt to hold my pants up and I've stupidly gone and misplaced it. Grr! I know it's in the house somewhere and I've hunted through all the rooms and all the clothes and it's just not there. It's probably staring me right in the face. Damn you belt!
Belt-blues aside though it's been an okay day today. Gorgeous Winter day in Melbourne spent bike box shopping which also resulted in the purchase of a black shirt that does up with small hooks & eyelets, a black vest with lacing up the back and a cream top to go with it. I tried to hunt for a belt that fit but the smallest I could find was a 32" belt and that's about 6-7 more inches than I need.
It's almost time to start getting ready for swing dancing which will undoubtably cheer me up. After all, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!

Sleep Glorious Sleep
I closed my eyes for a moment and the next thing I know it's dark. Guess a few more moments passed during my nap than expected.
Today's been a bit lacking really. Haven't done nearly as much as I should have - stupidly long nap didn't help.
Hazzar for my new license that should be arriving shortly. My vanity is content in the knowledge that I'll have a photo of me when I'm 19 on it for the next ten years. More so because of the not-too-stupid picture than the age thing.
Aside from that we watched Zatoichi and I had a nap. It's been a bit of a movie watching house lately due to the joy that is Foxtel digital. I love the pausing TV function. Very handy for unplanned snack breaks.
I've been rather remiss with regards to our flight to Brisbane. For some reason I was under the impression that Sunday was the 8th July. Silly me! Not particularly stressed though. Just have to get a move on with the bike box finding so that we can take our bikes up to Brisbane for the month.
Tomorrow should be more exciting with swing dancing classes tomorrow night - I piked on classes tonight - and hopefully more time awake during the day.
Who needs sleep cycles anyway?

A Few of My Favourite Things
A good meal shared with friends is possibly my favourite thing in life.
Last night Gene, Nick & I went to Iku-Izakaya for dinner and it was lovely. We had a bit of fun finding a carpark but once we got there it was lovely. Friendly service and great food. We had the Ozeki Set which was rather filling and overall well timed in terms of the courses. After dinner we decided to take a stroll across the fish-shaped bridge (well it looked like a fish from the restaurant) and discovered that it led to the Blowhole Sculpture in the Docklands. After playing on the air-pressure platforms, climbing all over the slide, jumping on the springy foam ground and swinging on the swings we headed back to Nick's for a lovely cup of tea - or beer for the boys.
After that we watched Napoleon Dynamite which was amusing but weird before retiring to bed to read our respective books.
It was a pretty good day all round really. Good food, good company, a movie, some reading, more knitting and a play in the park. What more could a girl want?
