The night on the Gold Coast started with dinner at Mai Thai, where the food was abundant and the wine was flowing. We then headed over to a bar called Shuck for the remainder of the evening and finished out the night with an impromptu afterparty at Steve's place.

Love the Gold Coast!
Me, Kiersten and the Whole Package
Note to self: never pass out at an afterparty...
After employing various recovery methods (coffee, going for a swim, etc), Steve, Filo, Simon and I hopped in the car for a last minute roadtrip to Byron Bay. We started the trip off the right way by stopping at the Manolas Brothers Deli in Broadbeach for breakfast. Then we were on our way. What started as a three person trip eventually expanded into eight, and we had a blast!
We started the trip with a climb up to the lighthouse that looks out over Byron Bay and is the most Easterly point in all of Australia.

Begging to have their picture taken (only fair since I was crashing boys' weekend and all)
We then recovered back in our room at the Belongil Beachhouse as everyone else arrived.
Bunk Buddies!
Steve took charge of rationing the tequila
From there, it was time to hit the town and we didn't stop until well into the morning!
Checking out some reggae music at the brewery

This picture speaks for itself (and says 'WTF?')

Solid crew

Wish we could have stayed longer, but our time in Byron was well spent. I hope to go back again someday soon!
A couple of the most memorable quotes from the weekend:
"Have you heard the latest about Bob Seger? He's still running against the wind."
"I eat because I'm sad. And I'm sad because I eat."
