But then I thought about it and we have a trip down south for a long weekend coming up, a long weekend trip to Melbourne for footy at the end of May and a trip to Broome for a wedding in July. And I'm trying to convince the wife to hire a caravan for a month mid September to mid October and just fuck offski for a while.
I need trips to look forward to. Europe is great but my own backyard will do just fine.
Side note - my brother tried to get me to visit the US for an NBA trip early next year. I have no intention of going to the US at this point, none. But man do I want to see some NBA games in person. Fucking Biden.
It’s not really different. Just avoid a home Wolves game.

That sounds incredible. Cudas are so metal. Love those guys. But not swimming near them. 99% of the time they're chill but they will fuck a human up every once in a while.

yeah the watersports rental guys near my hotel caught a big one and said it had been getting close to where snorkelers are
they said if you leave it lying around and ants try to eat it, the meat is safe
but if ants don’t go for it, it’s too poisoned
i personally would not risk it either way
but they planned to do it
