Safe Arrival at LAX

Hi All!

Posh Kandaroog here, to report that I did indeed arrive safely at LAX at 5:40 the morning of January the 30th, the end to a long, but wonderful vacation in Australia. To the Langstaffs, thank you very much for your kind and loving hospitality. I truly enjoyed every second I spent in Australia!

I am glad to be home though, but I really did enjoy my vacation!

To all who followed this blog, thanks for your patience and understanding!

Into the City and Departure

Hi All!

Yesterday, I went into the city with Paul to buy some gifts for the folks back home. After the shopping, we ate at an Asian resturant called Angkor Cafe. Then we went home and hung out for a little bit and waited for Emma to come back. Then, I went food shopping with Emma and had a very great time talking with her!

Then we came back, and we got a couple of movies, one for Emma and Eve, and one for Jack and I. The movie for Emma and Eve was "The Management", a romantic comedy, and the movie for Jack and I was "GI Joe: THe Rise of Cobra", a very good movie. We watched the GI Joe movie, had dinner, then watched the rest of the movie then went to bed.

Today, I shall be leaving the Langstaffs' for America. I will leave the house at 9 o'clock or so, then head to Perth. I'll get on the plane and leave Perth around ten to midnight, and I will arrive in Sydney at 7:05 SYD time. Then I will leave SYD at 11:25 and fly to LAX, where I will arrive at 6:10 PST!

Thanks for tracking this blog, I shall blog when I get back tomorrow morning!

Margaret River Chocolate Factory and Chillaxing

Hi All!

I went to the Margaret River Chocolate Factory today in Swan Valley with the Langstaffs! I got to taste free samples of the cookie and cream chocolate that went in the reject pile! (Don't worry, they tasted just fine!), then we had panini sandwhiches at the Factory for lunch, and Jackal and I had vanilla milkshakes with it. Then we went over to the Oggie's Cafe to have ice cream, I had cream caramel, and Emma gave me her berry sorbet.

Then we came home and I have been watching movies ever since, James Bond Die Another Day and now Raiders of the Lost Ark!

The picture is from the Factory!

My debut at Cricket! Also a long day!

At a 39th Birthday Party, I played my first game of cricket! I apparently did very well for a first timer and a Yank at that! We had a great time at the party playing Band Hero that I did not want to leave!  Then we went to King's Park with the Stewarts, whom it turns out I am related to, a long ways back on my mother's side!

We watched the Australia Day fireworks, which were very impressive! When we got back home, it was about 9:30, and for a change I am going to bed fairly early!

G'night mates,

Happy Australia Day and Party Advisory!

Hi All!

Where I am, today is Australia Day! The day that the first settlers came to Australia, in Botany Bay actually! I wish to advise you that after this, there may not be a lot of blogging for the day, as I am going to a party or two starting at one, then dinner, then the fireworks at 6:30 or so, then back to the party, and then back home!

So, G'day mates!

The Big One! Church, Aussie BBQ, and water tube fun!

Hi All!

Posh Kandaroog here! I just got back from going to The Great Escape, a water slide park, and the beach! I went on the scariest slide which was pitch black with a drop similar to Splash Mountain!

The day before this though, I went to church and Fr. Trevor was on vacation.  So, Fr. Adam Lang, the chaplain from Jack's school officiated Holy Communion. His style was more like Fr. Acker's then Fr. Trevor, so I felt comfortable with him.

Then I went home with Jack's friend Gareth, and we played video games on the xBox until it was time to go to the Langstaff's BBQ at 1500. We got there, and we played Nerf gun wars, and then we played xBOX, had dinner, then played Rock Band for 3-4 hours.  Then at approx 11:30pm, we went for a midnight swim, and then I got out, dried off, took a shower, had a hot chocolate and went to bed at 2:00 in the morning!

Long day, thus the longer post. This is a summary of a long day and a half. Sorry for the delay! I will get a picture from the water slide and the BBQ up later, but for now, I'm off to play Rock Band!

A Question of Merit for the Posh Kandaroog

Dear Posh Kandaroog,,

Is it true the reason there is no post of church activities and the sermon is that the mild BBQ degenerated into an all night - all might party?

The world awaits your answer!

The Maze and Mini Golf and Koalas, Oh My!

Hi All!

Posh Kandaroog here. I went to The Maze (www.themaze.com.au/attractions.asp), and got to see some Koalas before entering the Maze! I have seen Koalas before many times, but this was the first time I got to stroke one!

After the Koalas, we went to navigate the Maze, we had to find four poles, red, blue, white, yellow and green, and then climbing the "Temple of Enlightement." This was apparently a ritual that an Aztec ruler used to recruit his warriors! Jack and I raced Eve and Paul to find the four poles and climb to the top of the Temple of Enlightenment! Once there, we grabbed an empty potato sack and went down the large slide!

Then we played a game of mini golf! I tied for second place with Eve, with Jackal coming in first! Not bad for my first mini golfing in quite some time! We then went home and had sandwiches and we have been chilling ever since! For dinner we had enchiladas and fries, which made me not miss the Burrito Ministry quite so much! Then for dessert we had triple flavors of ice cream, caramel, vanilla and chocolate! Yum!

We shall chill for a few more hours before going to bed!

Night all,

Posh Kandaroog
