An Email From Tommy: Our Adventure Captured from A Different Perspective

Hello Fantastic Family,

Thank you so much for all your generous donations to the Tommy Australian fund.  The funds are leaking at a rapid rate and your birthday donations are much appreciated. THANK YOUUUU SOOO MUCH!!!  Instead of using this money on rent and life necessities, like food and beer, I will be using it instead to take a short vacation to either Tasmania or Southern Australia, or to the extravagant Sydney Vineyards, either way your donations will be put to good use.

Although my travels have been documented by my wonderful girlfriend Kaitlin at seegsatsea.blogspot.com, I would like to tell you about my travels from a different perspective.  Sydney, Australia, although suffering from a lack of work ethic and dental care, is the best place on Earth, besides New Jersey of course.  The only downside of Sydney is that everything is so expensive. Considering that the average beer at the local pub is 8 dollars and a movie ticket is 20 dollars, it makes sense that Sydney is currently ranked 7th most expensive city to live in in the world.  Besides the money part, Sydney is amazing, especially Manly Beach.  The reason why Sydney is my favorite city that I have ever visited is because it has everything.  Think about combining the best parts about New York, San Francisco, and LA and creating one great city. That city would be Sydney. It has the world-renowned Sydney harbor, like San Francisco, with the iconic landmarks of the Sydney Bridge and opera house. It has world-class beaches minutes away from the center of Sydney, similar to that of LA. It also has great city parks, like Hyde Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens, and a central city structure like that of New York.  The people here are one of kind too.  They are laid back about everything, sometimes too much, and love to have a good time, no matter what day it is.  During a typical working day it seems like the average worker has at least three to four breaks.  An hour coffee break at 10am, a two hour lunch break at noon and another afternoon coffee break at 3pm, and before you know it they are outside sipping on cocktails right outside of their office building at 5pm.  My kind of work!  And even though Kaitlin and I only have enough friends that can be counted on two hands, we are having an absolute blast.  

Ok so after my last vacation I PROMISE I will get a real job, and begin my real life and stop living in this fairytale, or as I like to call it my "country club".  So thank you kind family for providing me with the opportunity to take one last vacation, with your generous birthday donations, as a final hurrah to my unrealistic yet wonderful Country Club life in Sydney.  I wish you all the best during this Holiday season, and I am looking forward to our next family Skype session. Happy Holidays!

Love,
Tommy
