Well my room is just about empty now. I have one more box to pack with the last odds and ends floating around the room and I just need to tape the last of the boxes shut.

I am finally at the end of my Melbourne journey. All my boxes will be shipped back to Brisbane tomorrow. Annoyingly they’re picking them up some time between 11 and 1 am, which ruins my chances of catching up with friends for lunch unless I’m lucky enough to have them show up earlier.

Surprisingly, I am leaving Melbourne with just about the same amount of boxes I arrived with. I have spent a few days selling and binning as much as possible and I can successfully fit all my worldly possessions into the corner of a room.

Once my boxes have been picked up, all I have left to do is redirect my mail and then sit around and wait till I fly back to Brisbane on Thursday afternoon.

I’m not sure if I should be sad or what, but I’m not. Well, thats not to say I won’t miss Melbourne because I will. I just think its time for something new, and fortunately enough I have pretty much new things happening for me for the rest of the year.

In a week I start back working for a former company, 3 months after that I fly out and then for the rest of the year I live winging it, travelling from place to place.

I guess that means I will have no excuse to be bored in 2010. Good times ahead, I can’t wait.

Well I best get to bed. In true Luke fashion I have left something to the last minute and that means I have to get out of bed early to finish packing the last few items before the removalists arrive.
