Riding the Bus and Learning On the Go
Thursday, September 06, 2007
Hey, let’s save $20 and catch the bus.....
It could not have been more obvious today that we were out-of-towners. As soon as we stepped onto the Number 12 Bus on Main, we knew we were in for an interesting ride. Picture this.....2 Aussies, 2 children a stroller and a $10 bill. We weren’t 100% sure of which bus to catch (sorry to the numbers 4 and 10 for stopping you without reason). We didn’t know you had the collapse the stroller. We didn’t know that there was a ticket machine to take payments, as I’m trying to give the driver my $10 bill and outside of knowing that Lambeau Field was our destination, we had no idea where we were going, for how long or where to get-off. In saying that the $17 saving was well worth the learning experience.

Rest Day

We met Dave, the Regency Suites head-chef yesterday. He, as with most enquired as to our accent and reason for being here. We replied as usual with our story and the 3 of us, Dave, Kelly and I that is, hit it off almost immediately. Stories were traded, explanations given and offers of help were made.

Green Bay - Day 2
Tuesday, September 04, 2007
As we drove through Green Bay from the airport last night I came to realise just how small this town actually is. Maybe it’s just my naivety but boy, as an outsider looking in, I truly couldn’t believe it. How can a small town like this host one of the most storied and successful franchises in football, nay, American sporting history?

Green Bay - On The Way

I know I’ve been posting on this site for a while but it all starts now. As lovely as LA was it was just a stop-over en route to one of the most fantastic trips of a lifetime.

One More Day in LA
Sunday, September 02, 2007
So here are two immediate differences between the US and back home. Firstly, it’s Fathers Day back home today but no sign of it here (apparently it’s in June at some point). Secondly, it’s the Labour Day long weekend here which we had a little while ago. Being on vacation for both and just a week out from seeing the Packers open their season in Green Bay makes me realise just how lucky I really am.
