When life gives you lemons...

My dear friends, I am sorry to say that I have had to abbreviate my Australian adventure. My grandmother passed away last Thursday. I had been in Darwin on holiday with Aunt Alison and the kids, and as soon as we drove back to Alice, I threw my stuff in a bag, quit my jobs, and took a series of planes to arrive home by 10pm on Sunday.

Now I am back at in PA and have no idea if or when I might get back to Australia, but it certainly won't be in the near future.

I arrived in Australia in July planning on coming home in December. Within the first couple of weeks I had decided to extend my stay until next May. Now it is October, and I am home after only 2 and a half months. I ask your forgiveness in regards to the poor titling of this blog.

I had a fantastic experience in Alice and the other places I visited. I think that I really made the most of my time there, and I have no regrets whatsoever about the trip in general. Truly, it was the experience of a lifetime.

But this is where I need to be right now.

I still have a few things to share about my experiences down under, especially in regards to the aforementioned Darwin trip. I promise I'll get them up soon!

Thanks for reading and for sharing the experience with me. If I get back there, you can bet this blog will be up and running in a jiffy with all kinds of new tales of my escapades!

Peace.
