Australia! Melbourne!

Melbourne is my second favorite city in Australia. One thing I like a lot about: it is always my last city in Australia. Since I left America back in November, I have slept in four hotels, and have had countless meetings. I'm beat.

I like to end my stay at the Park Hyatt in Melbourne. It's a little pricey, but by this point I like to be treated nice.

Here's my king-sized bed, which I starfish in:
And here's my jumbo bath tub. It even has a TV in case I want to watch in the tub!

I'm going to fill it up, put Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger on the iPod stereo, and soak up some Aussie water. Then I'll watch it wash down the drain the wrong way around, then on to bed! G'day!

Australia!

Bad news all - this post is not from the silver-tongued ALH.

My flight over was uneventful, despite some turbulence over Hawaii which made my tum hurt. I caught a good five hours sleep, and in between watched on my mini-TV such programs as: The Office (US), The Office (UK), Kath & Kim, Cold Case, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Little Britain, and some more that I forgot. I also read some magazines and did crossword puzzles.

I had one of those pod seats which almost lets me fully extend.


This time I'm staying at the Radisson Hotel on Liverpool Street. I had never stayed here before, but it's in a good location and they gave me a suite, which is nice in case I decide to have a party.


One thing I like a lot about this hotel is it is right near the Scary Canary Pub. I haven't been inside yet, but it's one of the best-named pubs I've ever seen. And the drink specials look scoopy!




It's already the end of tomorrow here, and let me say that Sunday was hot and sunny and I had outside lunch withe some friends. Being in the future is great!
