quicko: out of town

The week between Christmas and New Years is similar in Australia to the U.S. -- nearly everyone is traveling somewhere.  I have Australian friends in New York, other parts of America, camping, Queensland, somewhere down the South Coast, somewhere up the North Coast, Inverell, Byron Bay, Foster, Melbourne, Ulla Dulla and probably a range of other places as well.  It's great to be in Sydney before Christmas and for New Years, but the time in between is ... well, relaxing.  And a wee bit tough on the extroverts.
