18:36:34 <Blarp> Lwax *hugs*
18:41:17 <Lwaxana> hi
18:41:25 <Lwaxana> I have returned
18:41:53 <Lwaxana> though after the 6 hour drive today.. I am a tad tired
18:42:17 <Blarp> that's right, you went on holidays
18:42:39 <Blarp> I do love a long drive, haven't done one for a while
18:43:06 <Blarp> last time was a few years back when I did the Melbourne-Sydney drive overnight
18:54:09 <Blarp> I get tempted to do it again, but these days sitting in the car for that long just seems like a waste of time, specailly when it's pretty much cheaper to fly these days
18:56:17 <dragen> I'm planning ob driving to Sydney on Friday, spend he day driving mum to see her friends, then driving back again in the afternoon /evening , a total of about 1100/1200km :)
18:58:03 <Blarp> You may remember when I moved from SA to Fraser Island, packing my life in the car, and driving from Goolwa to Hervey Bay in 2 days
18:58:51 <dragen> i dont mind driving :)
18:58:57 <Blarp> yeah I like it too
18:59:08 <Blarp> but these days, it works out cheaper to fly :P
19:00:03 <dragen> im looking at $200 , i couldnt fly for that
19:00:17 <dragen> especially 2 people
19:00:21 <Blarp> true
19:01:13 <Blarp> It's really tempting though, in my current car, see how ecconomical it is on the highway
19:01:54 <Blarp> Maybe I should do it for the next time I go to Sydney
19:02:24 <Blarp> Time it like I did last time, so I get to Sydney around the same time my friend finishes work and is looking to sleep
19:03:11 <dragen> i like to leave early, like 3:30am in the morning
19:03:14 <Lwaxana> eden > sydney 6 hours
19:03:27 <dragen> i have to be careful of Roos
19:03:31 <Lwaxana> gawd I wish they would finish the roadworks
19:03:35 <Blarp> yeah
19:03:37 <Blarp> lol
19:05:14 <Blarp> and I do have 2 weeks of holidays coming up in august
19:06:11 <Blarp> there and back, I'd probably need to fill up 3-4 times
19:07:13 <Blarp> so that would come to around $150-200
19:08:28 <Blarp> oh my...
19:08:50 <Blarp> the flights have gone up significantly... looking at $145 each way now
19:09:07 <Blarp> so driving is looking much more attractive :P
19:09:37 <dragen> driving gives freedom too
19:09:53 <Blarp> yup
19:10:07 <Blarp> speaking to my friend tomorrow...
19:10:24 <Blarp> so, might plan to go in august, and catch up with her for her and my birthday
19:12:06 <Blarp> and then Lwax can stalk me too :P
19:13:51 <Lwaxana> lol
19:21:14 <Blarp> assuming of course that my holidays don't get cancelled...
19:22:33 <Blarp> Haven't heard about that job yet either :(
