SuperForesters Connect!

An amazing thing happened today.  An incredible, beautiful last minute coming together of SuperForesters from islands on opposite ends of the Pacific O.

April met Jordan!  Or Jordan met April!  We met each other!

And it occurred, in the not-so-random convergence of it all (I’m citing Miin’s last post, see below)… in the best Malaysian restuarant in Sydney (and that I’ve ever been to).  Miin was not exaggerating when she said Malaysian cuisine is da best.  But I digress.

On to the answers to your many questions, like how did this happen?  What am I doing in Sydney?  Is April as sweet as we all imagined she would be?

Here’s how sweet…

I texted her at 10:30 AM.  ”Hey April, I’m on my honeymoon in Sydney.  Don’t you live here?  Want to meet up?  I only have 22 hours in the city.”  5 minutes later April had made a plan to meet up for lunch.  Only an hour roundtrip train ride out of the way across town in the middle of her lunch day.  No worries!  And she brought cupcakes!

We had an amazing meal, talked about things SuperForestry and RegularUrbanity.  It was short and sweet and then it was done.  Back to work April trained away, and onward with our Australia month-long-honeymoon-adventure went my new forever bride Rebecca and I.  We only wish we had more time to spend with the epic, quirky aussie awesomeness of April.  You should all really come and check her out.

I’m so so so glad I did!
