Here and Loving it

Ok, so first of all, thank you for all the emails everyone has sent and thanks for being awesome. I have been at camp for about a week and I had quite a time getting here but its all good now. Being at camp means that i dont have alot of time to contact you all individually because im working from 8am til 6pm down at the barn which is ages away from where the internet is and the internet access is very limitied as we are n the middle of nowhere and it sometime drops out randomly. also, i dont YET have a mobile service because there is some sort of prob but i will let you know when its all good the best way now to contact me is by email but i only get random chances to read them so sorry if it takes a while.

Even though I havent had internet access for a while, i have been typing things whenever i can into a word document so i can post them when presented with the oppotunity, so the next post will be whatever i have typed for the last week! also i will try to add photos within the next day or so of my fellow barn staff and the farm itself... FYI.. there are no campers on the farm until at least June 18th so from now til then, i do barn work (feeding, riding and groming horses and general barn duties) and on the weekend of June 9th, i go to a life guarding camp which will allow me to supervise nyone around water because apparently i have to have american certification... dont ask... just smile and nod.

loving you all but having a ball, see ya soon!

Bye Bye...

Well it's past 10pm on Tuesday night, and I really should be in bed, but i thought i would put up one last post before i leave for America. Today I said goodbye to Pip, went for a ride with mum, went shopping and then I saw Jaz and Barratt for the last time tonight... T'was all a bit sad to say goodbye, but Im so excited about getting on that plane tomorrow morning at 6am! Anyways, here are the pics from today... not very exciting, but they kept me entertained for a while. Hope everyone is having fun and being good... I guess my next post will be in america!... how exciting! See you all in 5 months!

16 Days...

Well, for those of you who care or are wondering why i havent answered phone calls or messages... I Have been in Ceduna for the past week on a business trip with a twist. The twist-ee bit was the fact that it was in Ceduna because for those of you who have not discovered the little town at the start of the Great Australian Bite... there is literally nothing there... except for a mouse plague. Nevertheless, my co-workers Astra, Jun, Sam (aka 'Taity') and myself all made the 8 hour journey by car to the crappy little cabin in the crappy little caravan park, did some work and bored ourselves stupid for a week or so and made the 8 hour trip home again.




Anyways, enough about work. I officially have about 16 days until i leave the country to the USA for 5 months... and i have to say im a bit indifferent about the whole situation. I am so very very very excited to be going, but sad at the same time to say goodbye to all my beautiful friends here in Adelaide for so long. My flights have all been confirmed and i leave Adelaide on the 24th of May at 6am on the dot to fly to melbourne and then onto LA to reach my destination of New York. I cant remember if i went through all of this in a previous post but im wrtiting it all again just incase. My camp is about 5 Miles (correct me if im wrong but its about 8km) from the closest town of Ellenville and I have one day off per week, on which i will probably source some sort of internet access and update this blog and email people.

Well, thats my news for the day, i will keep updating as i get more information about america or whatever. Feel free to ask any questions if you have any... not because i will have the answers but simply because I will feel loved with comments! - ha ha ha just kidding... i think. Im also think of having a 'going away' get together for anyone who wants to come, on the weekend before i leave so i can say goodbye to people... possibly on the Sunday (21st May) or there abouts, so please let me know whether you have a better idea or just any general thoughts on what we could do etc... mainly so i dont have to think of something! ok. im guna cruise it, but have fun and I will surely catch up with you all very soon.

Luv y'all xoxo
