My sister Jamie has (finally) had her baby - so welcome the newest member of the Enns/Guardado family - Matteo.

We're still alive - just haven't really been on the old internet too much. Byron Bay has tons of free high speed internet in the form of backpacker/travel arrangment places that try and get you to book your travel arrangmenets with them - but you can just ignore them and use the free internet.

I tried my hand at surfing for the first time yesterday. It was a blast but tons of work. It's a little like skiing in that you have 10 seconds of fun after 5 minutes of "work" to get out to where you can try and surf. Boogie boarding is still the preferred mode of wave riding for me so far, but surfing definitely has more options for fun.

We're just over half way through our vacation and with each day it makes it harder and harder to remember regular life back home. Sometimes I think it'd be easier to just pull out of life for awhile and stay down here - definitely more fun and my surfing would really improve rather than in Saskatchewan. Speaking of Saskatchewan, hope all my Apple peeps back home have booked their copy of Tiger from their friendly neighborhood computer store.

Just pipe dreaming. Gotta run and find a hostel to stay at in Sydney.

Well, we're off to Australia tomorrow. It feels quite wierd to be stepping out of our own lives for a whole month - but I know it will be good for us because we've become quite comfortable with everything right now.

I don't have much to say right now, other than I have some packing to do still. Any major travel related writing will be done over on Sue's family site (located here for now. Mental note: don't try and change web hosting companies right before you try and leave on a trip. Not a good idea.

The Canadian version of the iTunes music store now has the free download of the week going. Nothing all that special this week as it's 'The Be Good Tanyas' that are featured - but good to know free is coming to us Canadians as well.

Breaking Out Contra - Old Sk00l
Originally uploaded by iChris.

We got a little crazy on the weekend - I think it was the curry in the meal - and broke out Contra. We also had a mean game of ExciteBike and Co-operative Tetris that very quickly turned into No One Gets Out Alive Tetris.
