OZ - On our way home

We're going home. We're on our way home.

"I dig a Pygmy by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf Aids... Phase One in which Doris gets her oats."
Is how the song actually starts. And it is a Paul and Linda McCartney song if I am not mistaken. Nonetheless, we are on our way home. The three of us.

So the first thing to do was change the front line picture from the sunset over the Gulf of Thailand to the shot from our condo window here in Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia.

We got out of Bangkok nicely no real issues to speak of. Hopefully all of our stuff got packed and is now on its way to Canada. A long trip for sure. We packed a sea container. Yeah, we bought some sh** here in Thailand. First to the docks in Lam Chebang outside of Bangkok and then over to Vancouver. By rail to T.O. and eventually to Johnathan Drive.

The response to the Bridge Blog and the subsequent email from Deeds has been as heart warming as the actual visit we made. We can get this done, thank you to all.

Life on the road will be different. This first stop in Oz will take us all the way to April 6. We have a few plans already. Going to an island called Moreton later this week. A resort located there and will do some awesome snorkeling, maybe start our diving license, you never know.

Back to the mainland was and is not totally decided yet, but we sure do like this locale and the digs are perfect. Only a sand wedge (blog humour) to the beach from the above picture. We hear the surf pounding all night long. Deeds lives for this. Temp here today is 27 and the overnight last night was 17. Absolutely perfect. The best day you ever had back in T.O. in July, this is it. No humidity to speak of and there is always a good breeze blowing. And they don't call it Surfers Paradise for nothing.

Soon to be Lifeguards. Practicing with boogie boards

I am out of the hockey loop now. Only able to check scores as the teams head towards the final weekend. But I have noticed one very disturbing item that my friends back home have failed to notify me of. What with my preoccupation with the Habs nailing a top five pick for the first time since Carey back in 2005. I had not been paying attention to the other teams without potential. Low and behold here come the Toronto Maple Laughs. Falling like a stone. My gosh weren't some of you professing to be saving me a spot on Yonge Street for the Defile de la Coupe. Wow, whahappen? Looks like the Buds missed another playoff. Huh, who woulda thunk what with Burkie at the controls for 4 years that this would be the result. 
Oh well, not to be disheartened Leaf Nation. I know how you feel. (actually not really, just sayin that).
Good draft picks are there. Hope for next season, still there. Kessell, still there.

Talk soon

Oiy, put another shrimp on the barby mate.
