It's been three weeks today since I got home. 3! I miss New York. I miss it's pizza. I miss all it's alone time. I miss it's endless glasses of wine. And summery weather. But most of all, I think I miss my friend Mrs Woog. We really had such a wonderful time together - so much fun - and laughing. … [Read more...]

Checking out. Picking up. Dropping off.
August 5, 2012 by 67 Comments
I can't try and explain what these past two weeks have been for me. I have had the most amazing time, better than I even thought it could be. I've soaked up every minute, lived and breathed in every second and created memories that I know will flash before my eyes when I die. I've laughed until I … [Read more...]

Qantas Business Class: Sydney to NYC
July 26, 2012 by 36 Comments
The thing about flying Business Class is that's it's dangerous. Once you've had a taste, I fear that I may never be able to turn right on a plane again. Yep, it was that good.

You can imagine how well I am coping at the moment with the way things are. I'm feeling better, but not all … [Read more...]

June 29, 2012 by 21 Comments
So. I'm home. Back in bed with one less organ in my body. I feel a little sad about that organ, my little sack of bile who had been with me since the beginning.
