8 more days

It's my first time to Australia, and also on business trip.

Believe it or not, I am not excited. My team mates are asking me if I'm looking forward, but honestly, no... I hope they're not thinking I'm saying that just to keep off their jealousy. But I really have no time to get excited. I feel exhausted on most days to really think about the trip. Though I have looked up at places I do want to get a glimpse of, but I don't have a lot of days to sightsee. I feel like taking it slow... but so much to accomplish. See the Australian animals, visit markets (compulsory!!) and blue mountains. I'm not even sure if I'm meeting up a friend or two whom are living there at the moment, things seem quite chaotic now. I have not even book the accomodation for my extended stay... how spontaneous is that?! :S

I also think that age is really catching up and my travel urges have slowly dissolved. I still like holidays but I get tired so much more easily, I need a longer time to recover from the jet lag and to adapt back to routine. I do feel sad when I leave home nowadys, and it's totally the opposite when I started travelling 8 years back.

I seriously need to get into the mood... And unfortunately, why do I always feel like falling sick just before a business trip?!!
