Sorry I haven't been in touch sooner - since leaving the training ranch December 10th I haven't had internet access until now. I'm currently working on a horse and cattle ranch in Roma, Queensland and have no cell service here (unless I hold my phone at a certain angle and stick my leg out while saying that ABCs) and don't have enough money to call home on the landline here which is also why none of you have heard from me on the phone either. I actually don't have that much time to talk about what I've been up to that past two weeks, plus I have it already typed out and ready to go on my computer (I'm using my boss' right now) for whenever I can get that online - which I'm working on. I'm going in to town tomorrow and will hopefully be able to get a prepaid internet plan to hook up on my laptop so I can be in touch - and maybe Skype! - with you more than I have been.
As far as contact information goes, here it is:
- the landline number to the house here in Roma: 0746268136 (I'm not sure what you would need to dial before calling to get out of the USA, to call from here I would have to dial 0011)
- my AUS cellphone number: 0488929217 (again, I don't know what you need to dial before it...)
- the address to mail me stuff like presents and money: PO Box 989, Roma, Queensland 4455, Australia
If you do call the landline here I probably won't answer unless it's lunchtime here (12:00-1:00pm) or 9:00-10:00pm EST or after work's done until I go to bed (5:00 - 10:00pm) or 2:00-7:00am EST. I guess the absolute best time to call without previously planning and making sure I'm by the phone is 6:00am EST, 9:00pm my time. And feel free to text me whenever you want - I think international texts are 35c...? I would get them whenever I go to town or do the cell-reception dance around the house. And PLEASE send me mail!! As the deal was when I was in Africa, if you send me something I will send you something. But I'm planning on being at this address until April/May so don't worry about me not getting it before I move on to the next place.
Okay, it's time to get back to work here in Australia. I hope to be back online again soon - tomorrow? - to get pictures and details about what I've been up to on here. I miss you all and hope everyone is enjoying their time before the holidays. (PS. it's now officially okay for you to be listening to Christmas music without me getting mad at you... just as long as you promise to stop right on December 26th.)
xoxo Zee
