RT Virgin No More, Part II

RT Virgin No More, Part II

It seems criminal that it should have taken me this long to write about my first full day at RT, but what can I say — I’ve been working, and working is a good thing; it means income and the ability to pay off bills, like the big one I’ll get for attending RT. Anyway, I got up early on Wednesday so I could line up, officially register, and get my badge — the passport to all RT events, they like to…

RT Virgin No More, Part I

RT Virgin No More, Part I

It’s been a long while since I’ve updated my blog, even longer since I’ve updated regularly. Yesterday was my birthday, a great time to turn over a new leaf, and since I’m trying to be a good girl, I will attempt this blogging thing once again.

I’ll be gone for two weeks, and that in itself frightens me as I’m usually only…

Taronga Zoo and the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb

Taronga Zoo and the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb

The last time I wrote in detail about my trip to Australia, I talked about Circular Quay, the first stop on the Rocket Harbour Cruise from Darling Harbour. The title of the post “First Stop” implies that there are other stops, to which I clearly allude at the end: And after that, I got on the boat to see the other stops on the tour. But somehow, I never got around to writing about those other stops. No one noticed…
