Well, we are off on another adventure soon. Two weeks in Tonga, coming up in November. Haven't been anywhere much this year, apart from back and forth to Melbourne and a week in the Kimberleys for work.
A couple of interesting things about us going to Tonga.
Firstly, when we are there, we will be celebrating 6 years of being together. That's right folks, 6 years since the 2001 election, which was the night we got together. What's more, it's 6 years since Scott asked me to elope with him to Tonga. That same night. Before we even kissed.
I've never been exactly sure why Scott asked me to elope with him to Tonga. We had had a few drinks. Which might also explain why I said 'yes'.
But as many of you know, we haven't been exactly flush with cash the last few years and realised our families would never forgive us if we actually did elope. But I have never stopped checking the cost of airfares to Tonga, and when some cheap virgin blue flights came online, we booked our tickets.
So, as to why Scott wanted me to elope with him to Tonga: "Because I had some friends there who I thought were part of the royal family and I thought we could drop in and visit them". Hmmm, somehow I don't think that's going to happen.
