- Hello Ben!
Wow, what a ride you have had over the past few months eh?
I see you've landed in Brisbane and that Bre arrives tomorrow. That's awesome. It is hard to believe that the job is already starting this week.
Julie and I are Canadians who have been living in NZ for the past year. We were one of the lucky ones to make it into the top 200 videos before having our dreams quickly die. *smile* We can't complain though because we had an awesome time in NZ and we spent May in Thailand and we are currently traveling through Australia. We are in the Gold Coast right now and are heading up to Cairns next week before flying back to Canada. We are looking forward to a little more heat and we're super stoked to do some diving at the reef.
Ben, we are driving past Arlie Beach next Monday and we hope to take a day trip to Hamilton Island and Whitehaven beach. We thought it would be awesome if we could meet up for coffee or see your flash home when we were there. I know you will have just arrived, and things might be too busy, but we thought it was worth a shot to ask anyways.
If you think it would be at all possible to meet for a bit this coming Monday (July 6th), we would be stoked to hear from you. I think Monday morning would work out best with the way the transportation works.
And just a side question.. are you planning on keeping up your running while on the island? I have found it very hard to keep up with the running while traveling. I was able to run my first marathon in Auckland last Nov. though. It was awesome.
Ok, all for now. I hope you have an awesome time with Bre and with the start of the job. We have subscribed to your blog and we will be following your adventures!
Cheers,
- Lowell and Julie

- Nice Landrover! My boyfriend and I drove from Southern Africa to England in a Defender and your video brought back good memories (except for the Wadi Halfa ferry). Good luck!
