Goodbyes

This last week has been a fun one. On Sunday I went to Sea World. It was a beautiful day and it was a lot of fun. The only thing that would have made it more fun would have been if I could have gone with someone lol. My favorite part of the day was seeing the dolphin show. It was amazing! There was also a pirate show that was really good. There were people tumbling and jumping off of a big ship into the water. It was crazy!

Becca and Karisse got home Sunday night. We didn't do anything too exciting...just stayed in and watched some TV. Monday we spent packing and doing a little cleaning.

On Tuesday we went to a town called Burleigh to go to a wildlife park. We took the bus to Burleigh and from the map online it was only supposed to be a short walk from there to the park. Well we got off the bus and started walking. We saw a few signs for the park so we knew we were headed in the right direction. Then we kept walking and walking. We went up a hill and ended up in a residential area. We didn't want to go any further without being sure of where we were going. So we went back down the hill and to a hospital. We asked a lady where the wildlife park was and she offered to give us a ride there since we were quite a ways away. We accepted the ride gratefully. We were then at the park within 5 minutes. Then we fond out that there was some construction going on so we got our tickets for half price (that was $5!!) Then we got a pass to go back whenever we wanted. It was a pretty small park, but very cool. There was a building with nocternal animals and we got to se 2 palatypus. It was awesome. After we were done going through the park we went to the bus stop. We sat there for an hour before the bus came along. Then we had about an hour bus ride home, but we finally made it back.

Wednesday was Movie World day. The only thing that would have made that day better would have been less rain. It rained on and off all day. And I'm not just talkin about a nice sprinkle. Im talkin about it pouring rain on and off. We went on most of the rides and they were all pretty good. The best in my opinion was the Superman Escape ride. It was sweet!! There was also a Batman ride, a Scooby-Doo ride, and a Lethal Wepon ride. We saw a Shrek 4-D movie and did some shopping. It was a really fun day.

Thursday morning I took one of my suitcases to the Greyhound station to ship it to Mackay. It has already made it there and been picked up. The rest of Thursday was for more packing. And at midnight we watched Brazil and Portugal play in the World Cup.

The rest of the weekend was used for packing and cleaning up the apartment. Becca had to take a shuttle to the airport at 4:45 this morning so we said our goodbyes on Saturday night. Karisse took the shuttle at 12:45 this afternoon so i helped her finish cleaning up this morning and got her stuff down to the shuttle. No tears were shed, but I plan on visiting them in Washington as soon as I can.

Its been pretty lonely here since they left. But I'm only in the apartment for a couple more days, then I leave for New Zealand on the 6th where I'll get to see my daddy!!

Hope all is well!
