OMG, look what Tony and I found today!   A foil store.  Let’s go Foiling!!!

 it’s the first time i used Jetstar Airlines.  booked it last minute, really flexible, and pretty good overall.   it cost $465 for a one way ticket to the Gold Coast.  just don’t expect anything extra, and bring a jacket because it’s pretty cold.   this is the reason i always get a window seat.  i can stare at the sunsets in awe.  and the girl in the isle seat was probably pissed at me because i was blocking the whole window.  haha.   i book a hotel online and for once, the room is actually better than the photos!  very cozy and comfortable.  i paid $70/night which is pretty cheap.  something like this will cost $350/night in Hawaii for sure.  and this is my bedroom.  a huge king size bed with a see through bathroom?  huh?   and also a full kitchen.  i’m going to cook me up some meals. this room can probably sleep 4 comfortably but it won’t be too comfortable using the bathroom because you can see in and out.  imagine taking a bath or using the toilet with your friends watching.  haha…  but all in all, i love my room for this trip!  and now i have to figure out how to convert Australian Dollars to US Dollars.  bummer i have to use my brain on this trip.  haha.

 i left my house at 6am this morning.  headed to the airport and loaded up the boards with Tony.  in these bags are 9 of Seth Moniz’s brand new board for the Australian world tour.    so stoked to be traveling with Tony again.  we both waited for this moment and this moment has come.   there is no way we were going to miss it so we actually planned to come 4 days before the event even starts.   haven’t been to Sydney in 20 years so was looking forward to finally landing after a 10 hour flight.   i watched 4 movies and took 3 naps.  this is exactly what i needed… pretty happy to see Australia becoming health conscious.  everywhere you go, there are healthy alternatives.  where else in the world will you find a healthy avocado/banana smoothie at the airport?  got off one plane, and jumped onto another.   i left my house at 6am this morning and arrived on the Gold Coast at 8pm tonight.  that’s a total of 18 hours of traveling.  had dinner and getting ready for a nice sleep.  tomorrow i’ll jump into the ocean and revive!  then maybe some yoga, and followed by a nice massage.   can’t wait to wake up so better go to sleep.  good night!
