Contrary to Jeff's senior comment I have no doubt that Howard still has his charm! And yes I am still very jealous.. what a great adventure!

She got all gushy, 'woo-hoo'd' a few of times and promptly gave me my money back!! I guess there's still a bit of the old 'Aitch' charm left even after all these years!!
I think she saw the gray hair and decided to give you a senior discount!
Great photos, Aitch, looks like the kind of place Shari and I would love to spend some time at.
I figured she saw Graham standing behind Aitch!

Well............ it's all over Red Rover!
Dropped Graham off at the airport yesterday afternoon for his flight to Sin City. I hope he has fine weather and a good time up there. I understand he's hooking up with Brett Dillon at some stage, so he's bound to!!
Tuesday we went to the CBD for a bit of a look around.... some more travelogue type pics:
The Arts Centre and spire:
Looking down the Yarra river to the MCG and Rod Laver Arena:
Gog and Magog in the Royal Arcade:

This time of the year no visit to the CBD is complete without a quick look at the Myer Christmas windows:

We took the City Circle tram for a bit of a tour but it was so hot in there we had to get off half way around:
We did the 'guitar shop' thing on the way home - 5 stores and only one Rick! An '02 360/6 JG/BT.......
It's been my absolute pleasure having Graham stay with me and he knows he's welcome any time. I hope he enjoys Sydney before he heads back to Perth for his final exams, which I hope go really well for him.
I'm sure one day in the not too distant future I'll be able to hook up with him in New York state!!

I'm heading back west in a few hours. I just want to let everyone know I had such a great time and that anyone considering Melbourne 2010 should do their best to make it. The hospitality from Howard and Brett was top notch and it was really great to finally meet the other guys in person. Gotta go catch that flight!
