So Mike keeps telling me that I should put more on the blog (90% of the entries so far have been his literarly genius), so after a few beers we have agreed that I will answer any question that he asks:
1. From all the people we have met who will you remember the most and why?
Whilst we've met a lot of people there hasn't been anyone too memorable, apart from you (darling), Nick and Nic. The Hawaiian, Cory, will not be someone I'll forget in a while. He was about 25, and sooooo emotional. Crying too much, but so friiendly. He let me impart my wisdon and seemingly got something from it. I may also remember Ben from the windsurfing shop, but that's for reasons I choose to discuss with my female mates!

Not much apart from google all the music that I love, then we would have tickets to Bon Jovi in NZ. I still think we should rock up and chat up touts or at least hang out at the stage door!
3. Do you think it's socially ok for 30 somethings to go travellng?
Errrrr... yes. I think you want me to talk about the hostel in Sydney. I love it here. Noise and emotional traumas from Scarborough 18 yr olds included! It is totally acceptable to leave your job and get some life experience - if you are able to do so. We are very lucky.
4. Would any experiences you have had warrant you friends and family being concerned about your welfare?
I have a bruise on my knee caused by a few too many beers - sorry mommy. But the salvation army popcorn helped!
5. Favurite food or drink?
Ummmm, I suppose when you're in the place that invented the mai tai, blue hawaiian and other cocktails it would have to be the pina colada we had on the beach in Waikiki - took me right back to the Boycott!
Good questions, but now I get to ask you some. I will wait and mine will be deeper!
3 - it's perfectly acceptable for 30-somethings to go travelling! But yes, you are very lucky - I remember it well... :o)
ReplyDeleteHostels were fun, but yes, sometimes the teenagers did get a bit noisy. Being over 30 makes some of them think that you're an old duffer, while others see the value of experience!
