I Love Being On Holiday

I wish I could say that I have been super productive lately and that's why my blog is only being updated once a week, but in all honesty I have just been enjoying my 12-month holiday way too much. The summer air is in full swing and the sweatshirts have been put away for the duration of my trip (hopefully). I've spent the past few days recovering from my weekend in Sydney, doing washing, catching up on my favorite aussie TV shows and all the time in between has been put towards afternoons in the sun enjoying the BBQ :)

The next few weeks are going to be just as dodgy when it comes to frequent blog updates - Tuesday morning I am off to New Zealand for a week to see two of my good friends from Chicago!! Daniel and Zach have already been in NZ for a week, but I am catching up with them early Tuesday morning in Queenstown. We're going to play tourist there for a few days, then making the amazing drive up to Christchurch for Daniel's mom's 50th birthday!! I couldn't be more excited to jet off to spend the week with them and I know that we are in for some serious debauchery!! So plenty of photos and stories to come next week!

The day I get back to Melbourne is Cup Day at the race track. Everyone in Victoria has the day off (At least I think they do - maybe one of my aussie readers can confirm that detail) and gets all frocked up for a day filled with horse racing, fancy dresses, oversized hats and of course lots of aussie beer and BBQ's. A group of my friend's have organized a car park at the track to set up a tent, food and drinks for the day! Going to be such a great way to wrap up my NZ holiday and crossing my fingers that some of the 90 degree weather will stick around by the time I get back to Melbs.
