Tired of waiting

It's almost been 4 years and I can't wait to start again. When I first decided to move from Brazil to Australia I new it was going to be a big challenge in my life - specially because of the language problem, that today I manage quite well - but I didn't expect to be this hard. Since I got here, work has taken up most of my time and even though great things have happened i still think I should have waited a bit more, but now it's all in the past and I'll enjoy the memories, but it's time to move on. Our next stop (I say "Our" because I'm leaving Sydney with someone very special... my kiwi), is Ireland. I actually never thought I would be attracted by the idea of leaving there, because the weather will definetely drive me nuts, but I think it will be fun. The Irish know how to have a good time and it will be good company and I'll probably spend most of my time in the Local Pub having drinks with friends, which is totally different from my Bondi lifestyle. My boyfriend (Martin, a compulsive surfer) is already hating the cold days, and I've got to admit it took me a while to convince him that it would be fun to spend some time travelling around Europe, and it's one of my childhood dreams to travel the world and i can't see a better opportunity to do it than now. We had to leave behind the house, dog and the perfect lifestyle we were about to experience in New Zealand, which is the most beautiful country I have been to, absolutely stunning. We are leaving real sson, but before we go, I'd like to share with you some of my experiences. Hawaii - Aug/ Sep 2006
