Sweet.

Hopefully I can get time off and spend a week up there this year.

[General_Failure]

Cool. I'll be back in the country by then.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Where are you now? Or where are you going?

[General_Failure]

Spending three weeks in Australia. My first vacation ever.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Sweet.

I am jealous.

I wouldn't want to be on a plane that long though. But at least you get to wait 3 weeks before having to make the flight all over again.

Aussie chicks are hot too.

Give me a surf report when you get back.  Are you going to Melbourne? 



Bells Beach is just farging sick.  About 70 km southwest of Melbourne.  Check out those lines!

Which part of Australia are you traveling too? I've been to Perth, Syndey, and Darwin. Probably my favorite port visit.

Some blurb from Westy on KFFL, figured I would stick it in the Training Camp thread:

Eagles | Westbrook ready to roll
Mon, 8 May 2006 05:02:20 -0700

Bob Grotz, of the Delaware County Times, reports Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (foot) says he's recovered from the Lisfranc sprain that cost him the last four games of the 2005 campaign, and that he's a full go for minicamp this weekend. When the offseason is all said and done, he expects to be in the best shape of his professional career to shoulder the new and increased load and to avoid the nagging injuries that shelved him here and there through the years. "Coach (Andy) Reid said he was going to hand the ball off a lot this year, so I'm trying to get ready for that," Westbrook said. "And I'm definitely working forward to it. I've always said the more I touch the ball the more I get into a rhythm, and the better I will be as a player. Last year I didn't touch it as much in the run game as I wanted to."

Australia is sweet. One of my favorite deployment spots. Cheap as hell to. If you have never sky-dived, water-skied, rock-climbed, or anything else of the sort, it's the place to do it. Good stuff. About the Australian chicks - there is no middle ground, either way farging hot, or heinously repulsive. Wait until you see an Aborigini dude/woman walk into a bar or something else, reeking and dirty as hell, with no shoes, etc., and order something up. Because of the cruelty the settlers put them through, they now get some special "rights". Very interesting place.

damn you posting that a minute before I get the article up.   



What date did they report to Lehigh last year?  It was the shortest camp yet last time no?

[Susquehanna Birder]

Spending three weeks in Australia. My first vacation ever.

I take it you're flying Oceanic Airways?

[Rome]

I'm gonna make it to training camp this year.

Vacation kinda got screwed up this year so I'm going to have to just take a few days here and there instead.

Hopefully airline tickets won't be too bad.  Southwest has flights for $59 right now, btw.
