Moving On

Well the past week I have left Florida and took a plane to Charlotte NC, then a bus to Raleigh.  It was exciting travels with no major hang ups.  My bags were sent to Atlanta however but John was able to pick them up at the airport to keep them from winding up in a warehouse somewhere.  In Charlotte I stopped by a Dive shop and saw some friends for lunch then continued to Raleigh.  In Raleigh I saw Theresa and Matt as well as my parents.  We ate good home cooked food(Great Job Mom and Theresa), and watched movies.  Theresa and Mom still found time to go shopping.  We did go and see the movie Step Brothers which I must say was better then I could have expected and defiantly one of Will Farrel's funnier movies.

From North Carolina I drove my parents Truck to Atlanta.  In Atlanta I went and met John at work and stole my truck back, I had missed it over the past 5 months.  John and I then Joined Mrs Shirley and her family for dinner where she made delicious corn beef and cabbage.  Grandpa would be and is Jealous I am sure. That night I went out with Mathew for a bit, then headed downtown to meet some old friends for some beers and pool at their new house.  It is nice to be back in Atlanta, it does feel like home, and nice to be surrounded by people who know you.  And get together some final supplies and things for the next year.

Whats Next?

Wednesday I head for Brisbane Australia, I depart Atlanta at 7:20 am and arrive in Brisbane at 8:00 am Friday.  The trip includes a few layovers one of which is in Tokyo for 8 hours.  I am hoping to go into town there but will have to play that by ear.  Catching my plane is defiantly the priority!  I should be in Australia for a week or two in which I will see some friends I met while traveling.  Then head back over to the Solomon Islands for a year.
