    Unhappy I miss Sydney


    Boy we are missing Australia so much. It is like in the middle of nowhere. We can’t do anything without a car and a phone here. The girls wanted to go home so much. I am feeling the pressure too because I have a job to complete here.

    24 days to go.

    Mate, it must be bad if you miss Squidley. And they all talk in that funny, foreign language too.

    Here you go. This isn't like being home, but it's good for chuckles (and the yanks won't understand it, always a plus )

    you could try being rude to Midge but he's heading OS too

    Hang in there Scott.

    In 25 days time it'll all be a memory.

    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    I once heard a theory that three days was sufficient time to see all the major sights in any city (some, like St. Louis, presumably less). Beyond that, you are no longer a tourist and you have to stay at least 18 months to really get to know the place as home: rent a flat/house, buy car, put kids in school, get to know locals, learn the language, etc. etc. There is a huge no-man's land in-between where you've seen all the sights, and just can't be bothered going out any more...

    Scott, incorrect grammar. There should be the word "am" in there and miss should begin with a capital when it is used as a salutation.

    You should be careful saying things like that in conservative foreign countries because people might think you are a cross dresser. :eek:

    As far as Arches go, it's up there. Unfortunately, once you've seen a McDonalds then you're pretty much over the arch thing.

    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Welcome to America. Now you know why they're aggressively keeping the gas prices low. It would kill the US if the price were anywhere near the world average.

    Two more log-ons for me till I hope we miss Sydney (after all, the plane will be aimed for Singapore).

    Wongo, send the girls home a week early, then you'll get to miss them and getting home will be even more funner!!

    I did that OS travel for work thing for quite a few years, and found 6days was OK, once the magic 7 came it was just awful....

    I used to tell all the budding travellers in the office to keep it to two trips in their career.

    The first one is fantastic, the second even better, then every one after that just keeps getting worse!

    I'll bet you're glad you don't live in Queensland though, 'cause if you miss Sydney after a week, you'd be missing home about 10 minutes after the seatbelt light went on if you lived here.

    It's that good!!
