Tuesday June 16, 2009 – I’m going to a rugby game and the Blue Mountains :)

I bought tickets to the second State of Origin rugby game that I was mentioning the other day! Yay! One of the things Craig told me before I left was that I had to go to an Aussie Rules game and I had to go to a rugby game. I’m gonna get to check off that rugby game. The game is Wednesday the 24th. I bought tickets for Tom and I so we’re gonna head up around lunchtime or so on Wednesday, go to the game then spend the night in Sydney. Luckily the next day in Sydney is some Navy send off thing that Tom was planning on going to anyway, so he’s gonna head to that then back home and I am heading off to the Blue Mountains for a few days. Apparently during the winter in the Blue Mountains is a winter yuletide sort of celebration, a Christmas in “June/July/August” sort of thing. So I am going to spend a couple days there then head back to Sydney Saturday morning for the state poker final I qualified for. I had originally planned on then coming back to Huskisson to try and do the SCUBA diving course. Thats not gonna happen though. I stopped by the SCUBA place and since it is the off season they don’t do the course every week. There has to be at least 2 people to do a course and there has only been interest from one other person for the foreseeable future, and that’s one person showing interest in July for part-time (over 2 weekends I think, as opposed to a four day Mon-Thurs thing). So I can’t do it when I want to because I am all alone…again. Man being a single really sucks sometimes! So because SCUBA diving is now off the agenda (at least for the next couple weeks), I have time to play with that last week in June. So if I come back to Sydney for the poker tourney on the 27th, depending on how much I did when I was at the mountains, if I didn’t get the things done I wanted to, I might go back to the mountains. Or maybe spend a few days in Sydney, or head north of Sydney a bit. Who knows, I may just decide as I do, depending on how things are going.
