First weekend without jet lag.....

...promises to hold a few very exciting things. 1) Whale watching, 2) Coffee festival, 3) Yulefest (aka, Christmas in July), 4) Wine country. It will be a full weekend that is already off to a great start. The Aussies are totally NOT into working weekends...and the weekend seems to start some time between noon and five on Friday. So, this evening, I spent the evening meeting new PwC folks at a happy hour turn HOURS at a bar that is just around the corner from my apartment. Yes, that's right, I live only 1 block from "the place to be". It's a beautiful thing....particularly a few drinks in. Anywho....good times were had by all.

Tomorrow's plans include enjoying the coffee festival, markets nearby and whale watching. The whales are apparently migrating now, so the other short term secondees and a couple other new friends from SC and NY are planning to spend 4 hours on a boat in the middle of the ocean looking for them! Sooooo excited.

Sunday entails a tour to wine country - Hunter Valley. It's supposed to be about a 2 hour trip there via bus. Should also be a great time. Might make Monday morning interesting, but I suppose you only live in Sydney once, right? :)

I've got my camera battery on charge now to be fully ready to catch all the excitement of the weekend. Can't wait to share it all with you!

Cheers!
