A Travellerspoint blog

New Blog

19 °C

Well the USA Trip is over and it's time to move on to new adventures and of course a new blog. So by popular demand you can continue to be updated on what Brian and I are doing whilst we are away!

For those who don't know, Brian got an extras role on the Band of Brothers series called 'The Pacific' which is being filmed up at Port Douglas. Steven Speilberg and Tom Hanks are the producers so it's a pretty big deal!

I spoke with Brian on the phone before and he just came back today from 8 gruelling days at boot camp. He survived of course and has a few cuts and bruises but other than that he's ok :) He's already met Tom Hanks and said he's a pretty cool guy, but I'll let him fill you in about all that in a week or so when I go up to meet him (and he's got access to the net).

My sister and I are driving up to Port Douglas leaving this Sunday. We won't be doing the whole trip at once so we are taking 4 days to get up there. Leesh will then fly back home and I will stay up there with Brian living it up in a 5 star resort for 4 months. Yay :)

I currently have a job interview set up with the cruising company Quicksilver, which takes tour boats out to the Great Barrier Reef. I'm not sure on what exactly the job entales but I may be on the boat greeting people and helping serve food? Or I could even be working in the office back at the Marina? Who knows. I'll find out more when I get there I guess so fingers crossed.

Well that's it for awhile now so stay tuned! Not meaning to brag or anything, but this is where we will be calling home for the next few months!! :) Also, because this site is linked with our USA trip, the photos for this new blog will be put under Brian's authors link. So under "Authors" in the right hand side menu, click on Brian's name and then select more photos.

An EIGHT day boot camp! How gruelling can that be? I know my basic training was 4 months long - in Waiouru, in winter!
I can see you're going to become a "name dropper". Not only have you worked under Peter Jackson, but now also Tom Hanks and Speilberg!
Enjoy it all - every single minute. Both of you.
