November 2

**Our friends Matt & Bryce with me on a typical night out in Byron Bay**
I LOVE swiming in the ocean. Its fantastic!! The waves are so high they knock me over every time.. I laugh SO hard!!! :)
I can't believe it's November!! It's such a weird feeling, the weather getting warmer rather than colder.
Lindsay and I have come to the conclusion that we must leave Byron Bay and head up the coast. It's sad to leave such a posh lifestyle, but we're getting almost too comfortable here and want to push ourselves to see more. I've been working almost every day these days and Lindsay's getting pretty bored hanging around by herself or with our annoying German friend Mo. I promissed my boss at 'Lalo' that I would work the next 2 weeks, so I was set to leave on the 14th of November. Lindsay is SO bored that she's going to leave next Wednesday... without me. We came to this decision oddly realizing that we don't actually have to be attached at the hip. It's going to be strange spending a few days without her. I moved my departure date up to November 10, so I can meet her in a place called Surfers Paradise that Saturday night, after I finish work. Back to backpacking! I don't want to pack my things and carry them with me!!! I suppose that's the only downside to the whole situation. We'll be back in hostels again. With strangers, ahhhh.
