My wild adventure

so recently i found myself in sydney australia where i have been "surviving" for a couple of months.i got bored with the common city life once again though sydney is a beautiful place.  i think it's time to move again and find a place to retire my tramping for a while. i pull out my ipad and go on a search for australian islands."crap no internet here" i say more to myself then to trent my tramping buddy i met a while back. "why don't we go in a cofee shop and try for wi-fi. "wi-fi..." i say mocking his accent for the umpteenth time. i just love australian accents :). he rolls his eyes. in a couple of hours we packed our tent and supplies (despite livong in a city we still wanted a taste of the wildernesss...so we slept in a tent.) and were ready to head off to the hayman isleands
 our plan was to live in a mountenous region there by the water. pratically nature at its best. "o.k. i'm on love with this location" trent says still looking at the pictures. just hereing him say the word love put butterflies in my stomach. ok i guess i was crushing on the 22 yr old advenyure addict dream boat. but at 19 my purpose in life before the big two-O was to find true peace in myself and let the anger of society slip out of me.

sydney and haymand were very far from eachother. it would be a long drive indeed. so we rented a car under a fake name, both of us well knowing we wouldn't be returning it soon and we drove off. it took weeks before we reached the port that could give us a boat lift to haymand. but the ride to queensland was a magical one. i got to learn about trent more. it was breathtaking to see all the ope dessert and kangarroos and kualas and armaddilllos and just all those animals that people back in wherever i was form would never get to see apart from cages.
it was also interesting to pick up hitchhikers and here there stories of how they got there and what there doing. one couple had a baby and they said they were intent on traveling as much as they could to give the baby a wonderful life experience. they touched me with their stories of the kind people who they met on their way and eho cared for them. iw anted to be one of those people so i gave them on some of our freeze dried food (yep astroanot style) and knit the child a blanket. i gave them my email and we took many pictures before they departed to continue their quest.and when we got really itchy feet we would  get out of the car camp out for a night and just hike. omg i felt so free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finally in queensland we checked into a motel and just showered for what seemed for hours. (seperatley of coures *blush*) and we went to the port. "so how much for a boat" trent said. before the attendant could answer i pulled trent to the side. "hey dude i told u i got us a little motor boat, we'll get their on our own" trent  smiled his gourgeous smile and i dont know if my heart started beating because of him or because of the prospect of adventure that lay before us. so we took of on the motor boat and headed off to haymond. the fish we saw on our way were beautiful. but we were forced to eat them. i guess we didnt prepare for our little boat trip because we pratically starved out there. a week with minimal food just killed us. but our optimism was high and he finally reached haymond. while we were there we ate some food at it's popular esort. but thats not wear we intended to stay. we took a large food supply and hiked around the island until we found the wild part of it that we were looking for. living off the land near the beach wa s a wondeful experience. but after a year we were weak with exaustion and the oonly thing keeping us going was our love for eachother. yes me and trent finally hooked up. "our water supply is pratically gone and i think i'm getting kidney stones from bad purification" trent said exasperated. "yeah and my stomach is eating itself i moaned" i had lost 50lbs on the crazy rations we were doing. when we were both at our weakest trent and i climbed a low rock just as the sun was setting.we realized thatboth of us having found peace in eachother and nature alone were finally contene even on our death beds (or rock) "priscil?" "yeah trent" "will you.... marry me" tears filled my eyes but i simply nodded hand in hand we lay there watching the sunset and i we died together in that way........
