LAST week in DARWIN!!!

G'day mates.... hope everyone who read this is doing well and enjoying summer!
Its winter here but that means nothing.. its 32 everyday and I love it!

Well I have given my notice at both jobs and this is my last week in Darwin...... HOORAY! :P
I have had a blast and loved it here.... loved the people I met, loved working two full time jobs and saving up for my future travels.... VERY thankful to Mick and his hospitality.. staying at his place has been a HUGE blessing and a great time in Cullen Bay!
This is my last week working.... I work Mon-Fri at Hanuman and Mon, tues, fri at Holiday Inn... then DONE!! :)
I babysit for some travelers this sat night, they are in town for a wedding and I said I'd watch their 2 lil boys! That will be fun!

So updates.... random thoughts here...
-The other night we had ROYALTY in at Hanuman for dinner.... the King of Tonga (?) came to dine with our GM!
-I went to the Royal Australian Air Force base... and drove around the run ways. We drove up the main run way for Darwin International Airport, of course passing the airport which is small. We saw 4 planes there, lol.

-Today I was cleaning on the top floor (10th) 
at the hotel and cleaned the suites... and there was the family of a recent fallen Aussie Soldier staying in there... So sad... flowers and pictures of him everywhere... God bless his family through this hard time!
-The other night after work I had Khadija over to watch a movie then we stayed up late chatting about life, work etc... til 3:30am.. oh man... then I forgot I was suppose to call my sister at work... so I called her at 3:30am my time...2pm her time! Everything she said was funny to me.... we have not chatted in weeks! she wears bracelets and says things like "funner" :P I was updating her on my life... cuz apparently she doesn't even read THIS blog... and she is the one who told me to blog :P LOL

I am sooo excited for Hockey Season this fall.... GO PREDS! Excited to have Ryan Parent join our team and So happy to see SHEA WEBER at Captain!! Congrats Shea Shea! :P

Shout outs to Roman and Russ.... my Fav TN boyz!

Def still plan to head to Cairns (pronounced cans) next week... it is where the RAIN FOREST means the OCEAN!! I can't wait!

Aussie words:
