Just finishing off packing my suitcase

Left it till the last minute as per usual.
Off to the airport in about n hour n a half.

Going to Melbourne for ten days for a tournament (Tenpin).

Hopefully I'll be able to get online sometime (taking laptop) to check in and hopefull report good news... such as GOLD GOLD GOLD for NZ!!!!

Really looking forward to the comp & am confident that we'll do really well (strongest NZ team in awhile!!) n I myself am in excellent form

Take care everyone, Ride safe, and keep smiling

.... Bowling Form!!! Been practicing heaps and am performing the best right now that I have in the last 7 years bowling internationally lol. Bowled a 299 in practice last weds... 11 strikes in a row... then got a 9... ALMOST a perfect game... confident... not over confident... but expect to perform well over there
