After seeing
Glenn at the pier for about an hour, he had to go back to the ship to stand duty and I headed back to the hotel for dinner and some Australian wine with Tyler, Annie and Laura.
We also saw a Target and I cried just a little because I have missed this store so much! I didn't buy anything though since I'll be back in the US where things are cheaper in just a few days. Credit card meet Target. Target, Credit card.
The Farewell party was for one of the department heads and he will be missed. His wife is pretty awesome as well, but they are staying in the E2 community so we may be seeing them again some day. Here is the obligatory shake the Skipper's hand photo:
After the Farewell we headed to an awesome wine bar called Must. I had no idea that Perth was such a foodie town but Glenn and I loved it! At some point during the week Glenn said, "is it sad that we have spent this much money and have nothing to show for it?" Absolutely not! I hadn't realized how much I had missed western cooking and going to fancy restaurants and knowing what I'm ordering.
A wonderful first night out in Australia with my hubby. I think his tolerance is a little lower after not drinking for a few months. He looks pretty cute to me though. :)

Glenn met me at the hotel the next morning and we walked around and explored Perth until the Farewell party that night. We walked around and did some shopping because for once the US dollar is stronger! Wahoo! I even bought some jeans which is a feat in itself because in Japan I am 1.) extremely tall so most clothes don't fit and 2.) I have thighs and a butt unlike most women here so pants go to about my knees when trying them on. So, jeans! Exciting!
