Packing

[den]

Packing bags, checking car, buying supplies. Mum has been trained in the Art Of Peewee Feeding and I've made up a new batch of food, so no worries about the budgie going hungry.

I bought a new UBD road atlas that shows lots of detail, touring, for the purpose of. UBD also do a CDROM. I might have to invest in two, one for city and one for country. It's a pity they haven't done a single CD. It's not like you need a lot of detail for Central Australia. There's just a lot of MAMBA* out there.

I've loaded the required software into the laptop, so I should be able to LJ and maybe even IRC while I'm away. I think I'll load in Moray so I can amuse myself with renders. The Concretor we'll be working with needs a homepage update so it looks like I'll be teaching him basic HTML and helping fix what he has.

Apparently the Darwin museum is pretty impressive. The city was the forward base during WW2, and was hit by 250ish air raids during that time. It was also flattened by a cyclone in 1974. There are a lot of artifacts from both divine and cyclonic winds. That's on the itinery, as is a visit to The Wharf What Has Seafood. mmmmmmmm seafood.

As a comparison to the US, this trip will be about the same as driving from Pittsburgh to Chicago, then on to New Orleans. Or for Europe: London to Oslo, then down to Sicily. Except we'll be passing through just 3 states and won't need a passport. 8)

Pity about the MAMBA.

don't tell the FBI

About AU$60ish. You'd have to look at theis site for an accurate price.

Ooooh. FBI! Do you own an almanac too?

Got one from Cracker Barrel (store/restaurant) last year.

But even worse - I have GPS!

MAMBA?

[athelind.livejournal.com]

Hee.

Someone once described Texas as "miles and miles of miles and miles". MAMOMAM?

MAMOMAM. That sounds like a medical procedure.

Darwin, wind, and GPS

Back when I was active in short wave listening, I sent a reception report to the Darwin outlet of Radio Australia. They replied with a lovely "QSL" card that was one of the last pieces of mail to make it out of Darwin before it was all but levelled by a storm. I think that was some time in the 1970's. They included a nice postcard-sized Australian flag, as I always asked for flags, too. The Station Chief wrote a nice letter explaining the signifance of the constellation on the flag, as did the very nice Chief of Radio New Zealand. Nice blokes, them.

I have a Garmin GPS V, and the CD-ROM for the entire U.S. and much of Canada (that part's easy; they only have *one* road, eh?) I love it. It boggles my mind that they can fit literally every road and landmark in one CD.

Seafood! *The Grizzly drools*

It's a shame that I live only a few hours from the Pacific Ocean, but I can't get fresh or reasonably priced seafood. Goddamned yuppies drive the price up and the quality down on everything they touch. I remember when octopus and squid couldn't be *given* away. I haven't had abalone in 20 years. What little they do harvest (in the years when it's not proscribed) gets frozen and either sent to Japan or New York. *Sigh*

Do you have abalone available in Australia?

Road trips rock, and this one sounds like it'll be fun, despite the MAMBA. The longest one I've ever taken was Cleveland to Houston, over Christmas/New Year's '93-94. About 34 hours straight through, and I slept through very little of it (all I remember missing, if that makes any sense, is Memphis). We left just ahead of an enormous snowstorm, but had New Year's Eve in shirt sleeves. I was impressed that we spent eight hours driving through Texas, but that's probably nothing compared to central Oz.

Have fun!

Hey Pal! Safe trip!

And remember: MAMBA is in the eye of the beholder!

I have panorama software, so get ready for a MAMBA panorama! 8)

[kelloggs2066.livejournal.com]

Sounds cool to me! :D

When do you get on the road?

Early O'Clock Monday. We're starting at a time I didn't think existed. (5am)

If u r calling into the Darwin Museum they have just the best brunch around, the pancakes were delicous. The view from the dining area over the Arafura is great. But be pepared to sweat it out ... I just got back and it is often 90% humidity.
