New York, Boston and back to South Beach

Its been awhile now since I have posted anything, and now have a lot to catch up on. But I am standing in a Apple store in South Beach pretending to be interested in their computers, but in fact I'm using their internet to add this post, so I can't hang around too long or upload any photos to tell you what has been going on and about the people that I have met along the way. So this will be short with not much to it until I have a chance to sit and write properly with some photos.

During the past month I have been to New York City and to Boston. My very first experience of below zero (celcius) temperature's. All was good though, I was rugged up by many layers of clothing, even though that sometimes wasn't enough with the wind penetrating right through to the skin. I was in New York on and off for just under two weeks, which meant my time with Kevin was unfortunately brief. Kevin is a great guy and takes care of me while I am in town, and I love him to bits. And I do love hanging out with his friends Parker and Solomon. Parker is warm, full of life and always on the go, and Solomon always welcomes me with a sturdy hand shake and a 'gday mate', plus he is easy on the eye. Things got colder as I headed up to Boston to hand out with Angelo and Henry. They recently moved to Boston from San Francisco, and it was Angelo's birthday at the end on January, thus the main reason for the trip. They too treat me very well and make sure I go without a thing, in fact they boarder on spoiling me.

I did make a dash back down to NYC to hang out with Kevin and Parker again for a period of about four days. I still didn't get the chance to catch up with Shawn, but I did get to have dinner with Flavio and Sandy.

Now I'm back in South Beach. I wanted to thaw out and give my tan a boost. I have been here a week and will be flying out tomorrow, heading back to Texas to see friends there as I make my way back to San Francisco to prepare for my departure back to Sydney.

I am missing out on Sydney's Mardi Gras month. I hear the weather as been perfect. My two favourite events have been and gone, Fair Day and Pool Party. Oh how I LOVE Fair Day. I was getting text messages from the dance tent and it made me jealous. But next years will be the best and will make up for missing out this year. A lot of my friends here in the States are making definite plans to be in Sydney next year for Mardi Gras. That will be great.
