Today I said goodbye to Andrea. She left for Perth this morning. It was pretty sad.

Last night, we went out for YumCha, finally. Then we went to Scubar for cheap wine and got a little drunk.

I also met up with Sonal at Starbucks so that we could say "see you in March 2004."

I've been visiting the travel agent, trying to get my plans sorted out. And today I made the leap.

1. Sydney-Cairns McCafferty's hop-on/off 3-month bus pass.
   
2. Three-day Fraser Island tour
   
3. Three-day Whitsundays tour
   
4. 6 nights accommodation
   

$1000 later, I'm still trying to decide when/where to do my PADI dive course.
- in the Whitsundays?
- around Fraser Island?
- Magnetic Island?

So many options. Not enough money.

After Cairns, I'll do a trip to Cape Tribulation and then fly to Darwin. Do Kakadu National Park. Travel down the red centre to Uluru, Alice Springs, Coober Pedy... to Adelaide.

Then Melbourne in October for the Canada vs. New Zealand Rugby World Cup match.

I leave for Byron tomorrow night. Whew.
