Hey there funkmeisters, groovsters and other assorted fluff monsters
It’s been a long time since you heard from us, but WE ARE BACK ON-LINE!!!!!!!
Sorry, we haven’t written in a while, but we have only just bought a computer so we’ve been in internet limbo for a while.
Well we’ve been back for 3 months now and honest to God…. IT REALLY SUCKS THE BIG ONE!!!!! Avril’s been working in a pharmacy as a vitamin consultant, and I’m back at my old General Practice in Ipswich… and I can honestly say, that after you’ve stuck your finger up a few smelly bottoms and swabbed a few infected uteruses, you can definitely say…. it’s like you never left…
There has been a few changes though… Brisbane seems a lot smaller to us now, and the things we used to enjoy don’t really compare to what we’ve done on our trip…
In fact the only culture we have here is in our underwear and the only enjoyable archaeology has been finding old Masters of the Universe action figures in lost cupboards!!!!
Apart from seeing Puddles our cat, coming home has been really depressing, and from what I’ve heard from all you other long term travellers, there’s a particular art to it…
I think when you are travelling, you are riding on a sustained adrenalin rush and making heaps of important decisions, and setting a lot of achievable goals… which is actually strangely addictive…
So once you get home and realise you don’t have to make all these critical decisions, you feel kind of empty…. So for us, we started making a lot of plans and committing to a lot of projects just to try and recreate that adrenalin rush again. So now we’ve got 2 new car loans and a new office, but at least we’re not having babies like some of you other suckers out there!!
The other funny thing is, we rarely talk about our holiday to others since we’ve found it’s a bit of a personal experience that is actually quite hard to share…. not to mention we’ve pissed everyone off by starting sentences with “When we were in….”
Anyway, not much else to tell you from our part of the world… our next big trip will be either around Australia or thru China to Nepal…
What can we say… we’ve definitely got the travel bug!!!! That will probably be in about 2 years time though, so if anyone makes it down our way, we would love to see you!!!!!
…And don’t worry about the time factor… even if it’s a few years down the track and you’re down our way and you are thinking “should I call or shouldn’t I call” …just do it we’d love to hear from all you crazy funsters and satan spawn we met along the way.
…and if anyone is going to any cool places, put us on your email lists as we need your emails to remind us there’s more to life than 9 to 5… And to all you guys who are still travelling…you suck and we hate your guts and hope you all get giardia… but keep emailing us… we LOVE being jealous!!!!
In general we are slack lazy shits who hardly ever write, but it’s not because we’ve forgotten you…. it’s just that it’s hard to find time away from festering on the playstation and looking at internet porn…doh!
Anyway, we’ll try and get some personal emails off soon, so you’ll hear from us…
Lotsa lovey dovey smoochy things to all of you
Milli Vanilli and the spice girl formerly known as Avril
