Feb 12, 2005 - Brisbane, Australia - Just Arrived

Hey Everyone,

Well, I made it to Australia in one piece and starting to get settled in. I have local cell phone # in case anyone wants to reach Tony or myself. From the US dial 011-61-416745609. It also has a voice mail on it. I arrived in OZ yesterday, and Tony arrived today. We have had nothing but great hospitality since I arrived. I had a friend’s sister pick me up at the airport when I arrived. She has been a great help in getting us settled in as well as provided us with a place to stay. We are now on the hunt for surf mobile! Basically, we’re looking for some type of van that we can travel and live out of from time to time. I actually drove a car today in Oz which was interesting. Let me just say that it was an adventure driving on the opposite side of the road. Everyone that we have encountered here has been so hospitable. It is very refreshing to travel to a country where the people treat you in such a way. We are in Brisbane at the moment and in the process of finding wheels to see this killer country… I am attaching a few photos for your viewing pleasure…. “Big up to the Hamptons crew in NY!!” per Tony- miss you guys…

Cheers, Eddie & Tony
