Living in a Tropical Paradise

April 2006 - Leaving Samoa

Well its all over. A whole year in a tropical paradise, surrounded by amazing friends and beautiful landscapes. The last few weeks were tough. Emotional even. On the one hand I was excited to be going home but on the other very sad to leave.

Melbourne put on some great, warm weather for my first weekend home and swimming in the waves at Torquay was excellent. I missed waves! The past few weeks have been spent acclimatising, catching up with friends and family and eating lots of amazing food. There has been a beach wedding, trivia nights, a concert, family lunches, newborn babies to visit and art galleries perused.

There was even a great weekend up in Sydney for an unofficial reunion of the Samoan AYAs that involved a great birthday party, yum cha, more wave swimming at Manly, bands, discos and bbqs. And another sad farewell to very good friends.

Today i was back at work so its back to life as usual. What will the next adventure be?
