Thanks fellas - it's been a 3.5 year mission to make it happen. Taken more time than we wished but that's the way life goes sometimes.
LL - fibre at the house in many locations. It puts the NBN to shame
rest assured we will have a good connection as otherwise I will not be able to do my work.
Mac - yes indeed. Will be great to catch up and get a wave or three or maybe some Bintangs as well. Shock horror!
Pup - more mangos than you can shake a stick at over that way - can not wait to feast on them!
Asea - its not the farm but its close. At the very least we will end up living some sort of dream.
Cobra - NRL is not my game - rugby will always be the first love. Go the Chiefs
Manly will do better than you expect. Probably better than Souths
CF - Bondi is still a hole. Not sure why everyone rates it so highly. Give me Manly any day. If you had brought a small apartment there when you were doing your Uni you could probably retire now easily
In terms of location - we have a few ideas - we had previously agreed to buy a place in Bali in Sept last year but it feel through just before Christmas. Too hard trying to sort stuff out from here. So we head over pretty open minded about where we will end up. As long as I can commute back for work when required in a day and have a good internet connection we will be happy. The plan is to go east - go east of Lombok - to some of my fav islands.
ET - close but we went to the UK before coming here
Water is cold there. Its warmer in Oz but you still need a wettie in winter so its time to move on
Mick - looking forward to sharing some waves again. See you shortly.
remember these pearls of wisdom (when yer arsehole is hanging out , when yer blind rotten pissed in some seedy Indo bar , when yer smoking some wicked glassy Indo A-frame , when yer up to yer Hoolahs in it , when yer got some evil Teutonic touro trying to scam his way into yer bed & lodgings , when yer see us Longroom froffers paying you a visit & when you think of us Greenroomies reminiscing of the good times .....)
