2009 in retrospect
Welcome 2010 - twenty ten - two thousand and ten - o-ten.
Farewell o-nine, and as is now traditional, here's a summary look back at notables, and/or, never-done-befores (skipping the first third of the year, covered by my previous post.), and in no particular order.
Saw new parts of the world:
- Annecy
- Chamonix, Mont Blanc
- Crans-Montana, The Rhône Valley
- Baden Baden
- Las Vegas
- The Grand Canyon
- Zion National Park
- The Valley of Fire
- Ottawa
- Cairns, Palm Cove
- The Great Barrier Reef
Got a wetsuit and became a lapper in 16 degree water
Rented a full-body stinger suit and floated on the edge of the outer reef with gazillions of the most colourful fish I've ever seen - and giant clams, eels, nasty looking barracuda and the odd shark or two.
Packed up my whole life and moved back again after just 12 months.
Spent time with looooong lost friends on other continents. Including one I'd never imagined I'd ever see again.
Contemplated living in America. (!) (srsly)
Bicycled around San Francisco - who'd have thought that those extreme hills were negotiable.
Caught a cable car from France to Italy and back.
Swam in "Europe's cleanest lake".
Was touched by a chipmunk. Impossibly cute.
Made the cat fly on a plane.
Enjoyed a Sydney Dance company piece. (!)
Learned Final Cut.
Endured the leaky bathroom from hell (and continue to endure).
Became a Telstra free zone! Yippeeeee.
Happy New Year.

QLD dangers
Despite the extreme dangers, I somehow survived a recent trip to Far North Queensland.
Miraculously, I only suffered only a blister on one toe from rubber-thong wearage. And they didn't warn me about that.
