Movin' up

There will be no more drunken dinner serenades of "Sweet Caroline" for us-- we're officially moving out of Dougies Backpackers!

Thursday is the big day, where we pack up all of our worldly belongings and head a little further away from the tourists and more with the locals, to a two-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-storey, furnished townhouse with our cool Canadian friends, Karen and Mark. We're all very excited to not get bug-bitten (me), not get our brand-new bottles of Coke stolen from the fridge (Adrian) and not have bandicoots rummaging through our tent (yes, one snuck into Karen and Mark's, and was caught red-handed, eating all of their bread). We're also very excited to have a TV we're in control of, solid walls (although Adrian and I had a good giggle when we heard one night, loud and clear, a real ripper of a fart emitted from a nearby tent), oh yeah-- and an oven and a freezer! First thing we're going to eat is hot apple pie with ice cream... mmm, have been dreaming about it for ages!! And in other news:

1. New address to come, and of course, photos!
2. We've been [finally] putting up pics on Flickr from Koh Tao, Koh Pha-Ngan, Hong Kong, and our first time in Melbourne. Sorry about the confusion... but we thought it was about time to make everyone drool over Thai beaches (and show you all what we did for the last bit of our real "vacation").
3. The Lonely Planet video contest deadline was extended to May 31. So help a traveller out and give it a watch/rate it if you have a chance! http://www.lonelyplanet.tv/Clip.aspx?key=1AFA989A02E84BDC .... Thanks everyone! xoxoxo, A&D
