It seems no matter what my intentions are, I fall off the “I am going to write often band wagon”. I have every thought of writing frequently and I get side tracked with mundane things. There was the trip to Sri Lanka, from where I ended up heading to Australia to see my nephews and Malaysia to see my niece.
Today sitting at my new favorite coffee shop, sipping on a cup of coffee, watching the rain come down seemed like a good day to catch up on some writing. I used to have my favorite coffee shop near my old apartment, but since I moved away, I have not been able to find a replacement for it. But now I have found a new one closer to where I live and just maybe that will help motivate me to write a little more frequently.
There are no words describe how wonderful Australia was. The food, the coffee, the sites, the catching up with friends and family I have not seen in almost 20 years, did I say food? Life seemed so different and a little slower and people seem to be not caught up in a constant rat race. Maybe this is was my impression because I was on vacation, but every friend I met would only rave about how wonderful their life was in Australia.
I could go on and on about my trip and how I was dragged to the airport kicking and screaming, but instead I will share some of my favorite pictures from my trip.

Oz is such a cool place. Crazy how I’ve yet to see it but I do plan on visiting eventually. We just spent 3 months in neighboring New Zealand. What a blast. Gotta love this part of the world.

I enjoyed my trip to Oz so much that I am planning one for next year and hopefully I can add New Zealand as well, since I have only heard great things about it. Hope you get a chance to make it to Oz soon.
