Excuse me while I dust off my blog here. I’ve been neglectful to her and I know it, but like any good neglecting person I will promise to make it up to her. Instead of promising 3 scoops of ice cream or the most radical christmas gift of the year, I will make it up to you followers (are there any left?) by doing a “Photo a Day” feature, highlighting some things that inspire me during my month abroad in Australia and New Zealand. I hope this gets our reader/writer relationship back on track and I promise I won’t do it again…or at least not until the next time I get bored and take you for granted.

Day 1: En Route

Our plane awaits in Dallas. 16.5 hours constitutes a journey in my book and I’m looking forward to this one for sure. See ya later flat New Jersey!

Day 2: Jackpot

Million dollar views are common in Coolangatta, Australia but we definitely got a 10 million dollar view from our apartment here at Snapper Rocks. Only thing we are lacking is some swell at the currently “Not-so-super” superbank. No Instagram filter needed.

Day 3: B n’ E Roll

It’s raining and the waves aren’t exactly getting me amped to jump outta bed this morning, but my Bacon and Egg Roll complimented with a cappuccino is coming to my rescue. For those of you who know about B n’ E Rolls and aren’t able to have on right this second – I’m sorrry. For those of you who don’t know about them…well…let’s just say you haven’t lived until you’ve had one.

Day 4: Babes

While the waves may not be pumping at the superbank at the moment, it’s still easy to be entertained by what’s happening on the beach. The Gold Coast has no shortage of fine female specimens prancing around and that goes double for when the Quiksilver Pro is in town. It seems like every girl has a fit, tanned, and toned bum around these parts and these girls know it. Sloppy Philadelphians that swarm the beaches of the Atlantic could learn a thing or two from these healthy beauties.
