Care Package from Texas
// April 24th, 2009 // 4 Comments » // Australia
I came home from a long and exhausting day on Tuesday to find a care package from my mom back in Texas.
I never told her that I needed shorts and swimming trunks for my visit to Oz, but my mom sent those exact things. I don’t know how they do it, but that mother’s intuition… when it’s on, it’s really on.
She also included a copy of the San Antonio Express News, the one with my article in it. I heard she went to the local HEB (name of the grocery store chain in Texas. Stands for Henry E. Butt – no joke) and apparently bought like 10 copies.
And the “100% Mom” note:
“Juweon,
If you don’t like the shorts or the swimming trunks, just make sure not to pull the tags off because I saved the receipts and I can always exchange them.”
No worries Mom, I like them all.
Then there was this mysterious tupperware heavily wrapped in bubble wrap.
What in the world? What do you think it is?
Can you tell now?
So which bathing suit should I wear for my debut on the beaches of Hamo?
Option #1 – a classic number from Nautica…
Option #2 – loud and eye-catching from Quicksilver
Option #3 – this one from American Eagle just puts
out the “Island Vibe” for the Island-Cartaker candidate.
Option #4 – These probably are more to Clarke’s liking… but I’m putting
them out there as one of the options (which might come back to bite me.)
This is reader-interaction in the purest sense. If more than 500 readers vote before my “beach debut” on Hamilton Island (no repeat voters), I will wear whatever swimming suit the public chooses to make my beach “debut(for at least 20 minutes in the case of the speedos).

Stay tuned for more updates and don’t forget to vote for my swim suit.
