Well well it's been a long time!!!! I shouldn't have left you, without a dope beat to step to, step to step to, step to, step to, step to (chicki chicki)

 

Well the season is LOOONG over, every day is flippin' hot here, and the wakeboards have come out in force!! I've only had a day on the water though, there's a lot going on right now, because there's only 5 days until I leave for JAPAN!!! It's a rarity to have boards and outerwear scattered on the lounge floor when everyone is basically melting in the heat. This time it's for real though, not just a jump around the living room floor or comandeering a trampoline, but it really means something!!i! It's all a bit crazy, packing, organising, back and forth on the phone practicing my best Nihon-go, but man is it going to be worth the months of saving!! We've got a relatively big budget for the trip ($12,000??) so we can actually enjoy ourselves over there... I'm only taking one camera lens (was going to borrow a 70-200 F2.8 but the plane couldn't take off with that in my bag)- but I can promise some good photos on the way in a month or so!!

 

It's so hard to believe that on a hot, still, balmy night like this, in less than a week We'll be cruising the Shinkansen on the other side of the world..... Yeow!!!! Haha.
