A Little Over A Week Left.......

So Nine days to go and I will be heading back to Australia.......

Its a lot harder from what i remember than last time to pick up and move, I guess the fact that I had decided I was going to live here forever and now have to get rid of all that stuff after Ten years. I guess it really is only stuff and I will always have the memories....right!

I don't want to leave anything behind this time, no loose ends - just a new start I'm really looking forward to going back home: seeing my family and friends, writing my book "My Life In America" and starting my own restaurant/cafe.

Now that its definite that I'm leaving being happy and sad at the same time is confusing lol. I have enjoyed the 11 years here but really happy im going back home.

Peace Out
