The blog is back! I know many of you were unsatisfied with our blog upkeep over the last year. The blog was great for sharing all of our NEW experiences - the first time we went to the Australian Open, the first trip to Queensland, SE Asia, New Zealand, etc. As we became immersed in the Melbourne lifestyle, nothing really seemed that new anymore. And who wants to read a blog about going to work, running errands, and the typical weekend outings. We were in a rut! Then came the end of the year. Knowing we were set to leave Melbourne in April - following our last 'summer down under' - we realized there were so many new experiences that we needed to cram in before we left. Check back periodically as we retro-actively update the blog with our trips to Ayers Rock/Uluru over Christmas, sailing the Whitsundays aboard our own yacht, exploring the south island of New Zealand, and some other odds and ends.
Now, back to the present. We arrived in Singapore this morning and were met with warm Singaporean hospitality. A driver was sent from our serviced apartment to greet us outside of customs and take us to our new, temporary home. We were also met with heat and humidity - a common theme I think ;-) The flight was a bit harder than usual. Some say that it's much harder to travel east and based on this experience, I'd have to agree. The good news - we were upgraded to business class for the London to Singapore leg which made all the difference!
It was a sad last couple of weeks saying good-bye to friends, work colleagues, and the wonderful city of Melbourne. I had several 'last drinks' with friends and made sure I did one last 'Tan run and Beach Rd ride. We take with us so many great memories and one day, we will return. Thank you Melbourne!
