Last post from USA
Well here I am sitting in Philadelphia airport, waiting for my flight to London to board. This is my last post from America. It's been an amazing time, I've met some great people, had some experiences I'll never forget, and I have been very blessed.
Off to London now for 25 hours, then Singapore then home.
Can't wait to come back to America...whenever that is!

Disney World !!!
Well my time here in America is drawing to a close. Only 2 weeks :( I have been away with the band for 10 days. We managed to get down to Florida this time. While we were down there we managed to get free tickets to Disney World. Somehow AB pull the free Disney Parks everytime!
So Disney World is actually 4 theme parks in 1, Magic Kindom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and MGM Studios. We started off at Epcot centre, the one with the big ball. We were quite excited to be there, you can see from the video...
After Cruising round there for a few hours, we headed off to the Animal Kindom. It was like a Disney Zoo. They had set up a real African like wildlife park, it was a cool tour. Didn't get to go on many rides round there cause we had the other parks to go to.
Up next was Disney/MGM studio's park. It was
basically like Movie World on the Gold Coast. It had rides associated with movies, or TV shows. First we went to the Indian Jones Stunt Show, the one with the big rolling ball. Well Swanny and I jumped round like a couple of twits and managed to get ourselves as extras in the stunt show. We had to dress up in Arabic clothes and just follow director doing some crazy actions, heaps of fun!
The other great ride in MGM was the Rock n' Rollercoaster. It was a complete rollercoaster but it was set inside, it was awesome. We cruised round a bit more and then made our way back to Epcot to see the fireworks. We didn't make it to the Magic Kingdom, but I was told it was like DisneyLand California...been there done that :)
Here's my pics from the day http://picasaweb.google.com/wngreenway/DisneyWorld.
Oh yeah so we played some in Florida and did some stuff. Had a couple of long days of driving to get home.
Looking forward to coming back Australia, and catching up with all my friends....and seeing U2 !!!!! I'll be home early November, so send me an email if u wanna catch up.

Lazy Boy
Well I've been a very lazy boy and haven't updated my blog for 2 months...my bad :(
So much has happened in that time. I came back to America to spend some more time with Alabaster Box. I have had a chance to tour round a few different states in America this time. We've been to Georgia the most, about 5 times. Would you believe I'm making this post from a hotel room in Valdosta, Georgia. Thankfully we're off to Florida tomorrow, yeah !!!! I think we may get a chance to go into Miami.
I also had a chance to go Chicago. Had a great time there and met some cool people. It is a really great city. Much cleaner than New York City, I'd love to go back there again. It's currently Fall (Autumn) over here. It's great to be somewhere that actually has seasons, you don't really get that on the Gold Coast. The leaves are starting to turn yellow and red, and they are falling off the trees. I also had a chance to go to Memphis and check out Graceland, Elvis' mansion.
Well I'm coming home in early November. I had to get out of the country any way cause my 90 holiday waiver is running out. Plus I've been living out a suitcase since May, so it's time to go home and have a rest and then spend sometime figuring out what is next.
I have been very blessed over the last 6 months. God has done all of it so I will have to give the glory to him. I've been to some places I never thought I would. He changed my life and my circumstances over night. Hope to post again before I leave.
