The Car, Attempt #2

A lot has happened in the month since I updated. I’m hoping to write a few short posts to summarize all of the important things, but then again, I’ve been hoping to write this post for nearly a month as it is, so I wouldn’t take that as a promise. As most of you know,…

What I’ve Been Up To

Yes, it’s been ages since I’ve updated, and I apologise. A lot of things have happened in the last month that I probably should have written about, but never got around to because I was always too exhausted to write by the time I thought about updating my partly-written draft. First and foremost, I am…

In the Aftermath of Ike

As Houston slowly tries to pick its way out of the mess that Hurricane Ike created on Saturday, here’s my own side of the story: Luckily my mother was able to evacuate and spend a few days with family in the north of Houston. This kept her away from the storm surge but the eye…

Finally Out and About Again

I’m happy to say that my back has steadily improved since my last post, and I am now at the point where I don’t constantly feel it, although if I do much of anything it still steadily starts tightening up. Still, I’ll take what I can get and be happy that I can function in…

Big Changes

Things have changed significantly here in Perth since the last time I updated this blog, and I am happy to say that almost everything has changed for the better. First and foremost, I resigned from my job last week. Most of you know that I was not happy in the job; it just wasn’t what…

A Fantastic Time in Byron, Part 1

 A week and a half ago, I flew over to the east coast for another weekend away. Even though I do like Perth, it was great to get away for a little while, especially since I got Monday off…so I didn’t feel quite so much like I was getting off a plane just to get back…

A Weekend in Brisbane

I finally have internet at home! It got connected on Wednesday…so I can do things like upload pictures and update my blog without having to trek into town and pay to use the internet cafe! Hopefully in the next few days I’ll have quite a few entries as I catch up on events from the…

The Massive Photo Post

Even though it took me a long time to feel up to updating this blog again, I continued to upload photos, since it’s generally a pretty mindless activity. I’ve finally made it through my entire backlog of New Zealand pictures, meaning that after this post, there will be no more of the scenic beauty of…

It’s Been a While…

So I know it’s been a really long time since I’ve updated the blog. I know it seems a bit odd that I could do so well at updating while running myself ragged in New Zealand and then not get anything posted for the month that I’ve been in Australia. It’s been a long, rough month though, and…

About

I'm Kristin, a Texan born to an American father and English mother. I've been living in Australia since 2008. My first plane flight was when I was three weeks old and I've been hooked ever since. I never feel quite right unless I have a plane ticket (to anywhere, whether it's Sydney or Singapore) booked in my name!
