Everything goes so fast!

This week has been all about Fiji. For those of you not in the know, i recently participated in a competition from Panasonic by which they are sending the top 50 camera sales people between a 3 month period from around Australia for an all expenses paid 4 day trip to Fiji.
 

Both myself and Gage from work participated in this promotion but by the end of it, I finished 74th and Gage finished 62nd. It was extreemly supprising to there receive an email from Panasonic saying "You just missed out on a spot in the top 50, but we'd like to invite you along to Fiji anyway". I was estatic to say the least, jumping around like a... i dunno, like a kangaroo i guess?? Either way, this all happened around the end of July, and the trip dates are the 13th September to the 17th September.


Gage and myself hadn't herd much about it after the innitial email and we were starting to get a bit edgy with the trip pulling nearer. But on tuesday morning, when the postie FINALLY came, he dropped my Itinerary in the mailbox. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face when reading through it. I get a stay-over night in Sydney on monday, staying at the Mercure Hotel, then off to Fiji with (i'm assuming) about 50 other winners.

The trip is all expenses paid and involves a bunch of activities such as Jet Skiing, going on a Helicopter Charter, Parasailing, Snorkeling and numerous photo shoot's with Ken Duncan (Panasonic ambassador). I think it safe to say i will have plenty of awesome shot's to blog about the week after next!

So now i am busily trying to get ready for the trip. buying all the things i think i will need for the 5 days away! I am taking the opportunity on Monday night to meet up with some fellow Sydney-siders for a drink or too as it will be an early morning for me Tuesday!

So aside from Fiji, i did want to mention a car accident that happened just up the road from our house on Wednesday afternoon. Turns out it was a result of a 'domestic' but when you got 2 cars wedged up against the pole of a bridge supporting a motorway and they are almost vertical, it's defiantly worth a mention. This pic better explains how the cars were, I'm still yet to figure out exactly how it happened!!!
