Kim Comes Down Under - Hamilton Island WhitSundays!!

Kim came from seattle to visit me and see australia! I think she ended up having the perf trip - good mix of sydney time, beach, great barrier reef in the whitsunday, blue mountain hike. she met all my friends, was so great to see her!

She tried roo pizza, bar hopped in the rocked and danced the night away. see pics below - a few classics...like the reunion shots lended for a great bitter-face shot :)


We had an amazing view from our holiday. Cute little island, where we spend 4 days. swim up bar, beach side, sunset canoe paddle with champers and a hot guide! we did an all day great trip - several beach stops, snorkels, and hikes. we chilled on the whitest sand beaches, exfoliated with sand, napped, swam, took in paradise!

a little "town" area kept us busy at night. we met some "locals" rode on a golf cart - kim got to drive on the other side. She also met her first aussie boy and had a nice beach star gaze with him.

We had plenty of cheese, wine, fruity drinks, live music, sun and fun! took several really long hikes around, navigated thru un charted waters, saw a scary sting ray, got lost but got some amazing pics - see below.

Bar Golf and Fish Markets

Finally I get to play a game of Bar Golf! Kai and i have been talking about doing this for years...and there were several Seattle games i never made.

A Guy - Girl team, 9 bars, 5 or so hours, 2 drinks at each bar to get par, extras drinks to get points, then the detours were added in (ie slide down a Big Toy slide).

It was good times that ended in debourturary. I made it to the last "hole", decided it was time to leave so I jumped into a cab, and didnt realize until I was home that I left my Coach Bag. URGH. Sunday was a mess but i ended up finding my purse at the bar. It was rumaged thru but it was there....and so was my camera.

An afternoon at the Fish Market in the city - picnic followed by Bikram Yoga. Great Saturday!

Amnesia - Tennis Day, Lunch and Cee's Talent Time

Ad Conion had an all agency tennis tourney. It was my first time playing tennis. Cindy and I were partners...were got a few points but otherwise didnt do so well. It was good fun.

Jen and I headed out of Sydney for a psychic appointment that night. This women Judy, books out 6 month in advance. I have never been to one but Jen knew a few people that went and had some crazy experiences..

It was late, we were tired but it was pretty interesting. she claims to see spirits like the show the Medium. Now you have to guide her along but she is pretty amazing. The first thing she tells me is "it sounds weird but I see a man around the corner for you...and he is in a cowboy hat" doesnt sounds weird to me at all!! hahah and apparently his name will be ben or brian. Hmmmm.

Kai was a rebel sporting a Drive shirt (the Ad Conion competitor)...very cheeky.

Lots of fun publisher lunches as we get into the swing of the holiday season! This one at Spice Temple had a digital door - very yummy, balinese feel, table side service..

Below is Cecilla - my coordinator...she is doing her talent time. It is a sport/dance called Capoeira...a brazilian stem sport that she loves.

A day trip to melbs - the races

Publisher event in Melbourne! Elodie and I got flown to Melbs for a day at the races - thanks Car Sales! And Emma!

First time I flew in and flew out same day - was a great day. after landing, El and I popped into the bathroom and came out Frocked up!! I brought fresh flowers for my hair piece, and my new red dress worked out great!

Stretch hummer for pick up and a night white one back. the day flew by! the peeps in the limo were a little boring, did some great better, ate some good food, weather was a little cold/rainy but overall amazing time!

Perth and Margaret River - Caity and I on another roadtrip adventure

Another 3 day weekend in Oz. A few weekend after my dad and uncle john left I headed for yet another vaca :) we went to Perth on the very west coast of Oz, then we road tripped in south to the margaret river, a very famous wine region in australia.
