Ok, so I tried to make a blog thing work on my website, www.mattbroome.com, but it was too complicated and too time consuming compared to blogger. So here I am back again. I left Mississippi on June 18 bright and early. I spent the next several days in New York City visiting with my friend David. It was wet and rainy most of the time I was there. A few bright rays found their way down though. Late nights, sleeping in until noon ... perfect vacation schedule. We spent that Sunday in New Jersey at his mom and stepdad's house for a bbq. I met his sister Jaime who is also moving to Australia but on a permanent basis. She will be living in Sydney, so when I get a chance to go there I have another familiar face.
I arrived in California on Wednesday night, June 24. Since I've been here, I have been to El Matador Beach in Malibu, shopping on Melrose for some vintage cowboy boots, and hiking in Runyan Canyon. My high school Brittney and her boyfriend Matt have been excellent hosts. We've been cooking in and watching movies and lounging by the pool. Friday, Brittney and I went to see a sketch comedy show at the IO West Theatre. I've LOVED the California weather! Sunny all the time. Warm/hot but not humid. I've had a little bit of allergy troubles since I've been here, but the weather has made up for the all the sniffling. I've managed to get a pretty good base tan! I'll have to enjoy this weather while I can. Soon I will be headed into winter.
Yesterday two other high school friends met up with us in Los Angeles, so we will had our own little class reunion. Tuesday night I will be heading overseas. I've had such a wonderful two weeks of just vacationing. It's hard to believe that I just spent my last night of 2009 in the United States! Time to finally begin my journey down under!
