I was fortunate enough to spend about 8 weeks in Sydney and Melbourne last year while on my gypsy travel binge, and I’d like to share a few quick light-hearted thoughts.
Okay, for for the none of you that read my blog on a regular basis, you’d know that back in November of 2007 I wrote my first blog post in over 2 years recapping the previous couple years of my life. In the post I promised a series of 9 following posts to give a [...]
