We spent our last night in New Zealand yesterday and it ended on a high note for me. Not because the show in Christchurch was even better than the night before, and not because I got to have a fan accompany me to the ring as a guest manager. 

For me, the New Zealand portion of our trip ended on a high note because the caterers provided us with carrot cake! And not just any carrot cake; this was probably the second best carrot cake that I have ever had. The best being a recipe one of my mumma’s friends used to bake for us growing up. Ever since, I have always been a carrot cake connoisseur. Oh, snap! That carrot cake was so good that I helped myself to 5 slices! The Miz actually expressed some disgust in my temporary gluttony. Tell me why the boy was gorging himself on the same carrot cake just moments later! Because a great slice of carrot cake is so rare.

But that was New Zealand. We are now in Melbourne, Australia. Down Under! Do you know how much Crocodile Dundee I used to watch? The man who knocked out a purse-snatcher by throwing a can of food at his head from like 50 feet away?! The man who darn near robbed the crooks that tried to rob him?! I know it was a movie, but Dundee was a true, Original Badman!

Now, I know we don’t usually have a lot of time to do a lot of sightseeing when we are on these tours, but being in Australia, I fully expect a few things:

1) I expect to see a koala. I think that they are only in the wild, but I have been keeping my eyes peeled, looking out the window into the trees to try and see one.

2) I expect to see a kangaroo. I mean, how sad would it be to come all the way to Australia and not see a Kangaroo? If I could see a boxing kangaroo, it would be tremendous, but that might be asking for a little much. I will settle for just a straight-up kangaroo.

3) I expect to leave Australia with a boomerang. Yes, I need a boomerang as a souvenir. Just like Crocodile Dundee. A crocodile tooth necklace would also be a bonus.

I don’t have proper time to look for these items today, plus, it is a little rainy, anyway. But mark my words; finding these three items will be my mission for the remainder of the tour. Believe it!

P.S. Happy Birthday to Poppa Kingston!
