rural nsw tour

I’m here!

I made it!

I know you’re excited, right?

OK, maybe I’M just the excited one

You’re all dancing on the inside

I can tell

Started this trip in Chicago by getting hit on by a 40+ year old dude at the oversized luggage counter

That’s where I have to check in my guitar

Not my arse, like I KNOW you were thinking

My guitar,  when in it’s road case, TOTALLY looks like a coffin

And is too big to go with my suitcase

Luggage man was a real smoothy

If you like your boys sweaty, balding, & with a speech impediment

In fairness, he didn’t have many teeth….so the lisp wasn’t really his fault

Anyhooo

I was enjoying his flattery

“…you thmell good…..I like the black thripe in your hair…

But he lost me at “….I’ve alwayth been attracted to the older lady-eeth”

I was like, DUDE, you are soooo older than me

And he gave me a wink and said, “…oh, of courth I am thweetheart!!…” chuckle chuckle

Fucker

Then I had 2 po-faced grumpy bums sitting next to me for the San Francisco to Sydney flight

That, when I asked if I could squeeze past them to go the toilet

They did a big eye roll, exaggerated sigh, and said,  “I hope this won’t happen the whole flight!”

So I proceeded to drink my large bottle of water, 2 orange juices, a hot chocolate & 3 cups of tea

I got up no less than SIX TIMES to wee!

And it made them grumpier

Which gave me 13+ hours of amusement

Soooooo

I’m in Sydney now

Obviously Australian Immigration hadn’t been in contact with UK Immigration

‘Cause they let me in no worries

I think it was the sticker on my suitcase that made all the difference

Waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive

It’s a curse
