Well here I am.. Sitting in Sydney Australia working regular hours monday to friday. The winter seems endless with nothing to look forward to on the Horizon. Except maybe the Wallabies playing the All Blacks but even that has yet to exite me this season. Saturday night at a bar in Surry Hills I overhear a few friends of mine talking about the possibility of going to the US for the Las Vegas Rugby 7’s and the New Orleans Mardi Gras.
My ears prick up and I show an immediate interest. Thinking that this is just another pie in the sky idea that will never come to fruition. I continue on drinking beer after beer after beer throwing suggestions left right and centre all to be forgotten and a distant memory by the time that last beer hits the trough in the mens room. At 9:39 am on Monday July 27th 2009 I receive an email with the headline “America Trip Details”. My love affair with the US is automatically rekindled and suddenly there is that pot of honey on the horizon to look forward to.
I hurriedly look at my wallet to find nothing but a few credit card receipts from two Bars, a fast food restaurant and a taxi. None of which I remember but all are time stamped post 3am. After borrowing money for lunch today I draw a blank on funding this trip… the result… this blog of a lifetime.
