We love to sleep in the airport

Hello everyone!

Tomorrow morning we fly from Ho Chi Minh city back to Singapore where our plan is to ramble around a bit during the day, and sleep in the airport. The next afternoon we fly to Sydney, arriving at 9:45pm......at which point we will also sleep in the airport.

Hopefully the re-collection of our camping gear will go smoothly, and then we're either taking the train into the blue mountains or a bus or train to a yet-to-be-identified work-exchange opportunity.

There are a huge number of crazy work-exchange postings. Here were a few that we particularly liked:

"Volunteer Opportunity on 16th Century Sailing Ship. In this program, you will live and work alongside the ship's crew in the daily operation of the vessel as a dockside floating museum. You will receive training in 17th century seamanship including terminology, knots, sailing, maintenance techniques, etc."

or

"Some of our children are at boarding school and they need their horses exercised....Polocrosse experience is not necessary but if you have played before we may be able to help you play for the season."

or

"Do you enjoy being nude? Helpxers [sic] needed at our 3 STAR Rated Nudist Resort with Free Accommodation & Facilities."

Actually, there were a few postings from folks living in the Gold Coast area who were looking for people to help them set up a website...which is certainly in line with our experience and skills. (more so than cattle wrangling or designing and building yurts, which were also postings we saw).

So, more updates to come...probably from airports.
