kyburg | Aussies

dewhitton - I'm looking right at you.

I'm invading your country November 12th.

The timeshare exchange came through - I got housing!

I will be at:

Destination Asia-Pacific at Radisson Resort Palm Meadows (*whew*)
Surfer's Paradise (they named a town that?), Carrara
Queensland -

Gold Coast - an hour's drive from Brisbane.

I'll be there for my 45th birthday. I still can't believe it.

Now...to get there. *laughs*

Oh, and we'll have to drive there. Jim's up for it - he lived in England in the Air Force for almost three years. Me? Oh boy.

Since LJ can't provide me a geographical report - I suspect I have more Aussies on my list, and I have no earthly idea if anyone is nearby the place. Well, I have all summer to find out, I guess.

I'm going to Australia. Holy cow.

(Why is getting the timeshare exchange so critical? It's about $150 to do an exchange - I exchange a week at my timeshare for a week at another one - and since my timeshare has been paid for since 1997, a week of accomodations anywhere in the system is only $150. For a week. And in this case, now already paid for. If someone wants to give you a timeshare - you might say yes. I'll write the story of how I got this one another day.)

Well, that explains the weirdness the last week or so. Cliff's been here. I may not notice 'him' being around, but I sure notice the results of him passing through. I was sure I wasn't going to get an exchange...called them today to widen the search, and they told me I'd landed one. I was on a waiting list - I was on a waiting list all last year for a Swiss exchange, and one never came.

A whole week in Australia for $150. I just have to get there now.
