Back home early. I had a severe panic attack and was so sick that I managed to get someone to book a flight back to the main land and got picked up at the airport to go home. For the days I was out, it was fun, however trying to sleep or relax in the hotel was impossible and after 5 days and going into crowded environments constantly, it got too much. To sum up what I did, I went on the Spirit of Tasmania from Melbourne to Devonport (it was a nightmare, I'll never diss plane flights again, as boats are a lot worse), went on a train ride, saw live Platypuses, Sea horses, all sorts of animals, saw beautiful ocean views, etc. On day 6, we went to Hobart and I managed to have a caretaker book a flight for me to go to Melbourne and my parents picked me up and took me home from there. The staff were nice and everything and I did have fun, but all sorts of factors just made the trip too stressful.

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

I'm sorry that the trip got to be too much for you to deal with, but it's good to see you back.

At least you tried, and went on the trip. That's more than a lot of people would have done.

Good to see you back. Glad you did enjoy lots of the trip too. And good that you could go home when it had been enough.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

Thanks everyone. :)

I think the big issue was the fact it was my first time. If I do something like that again, I'd probably cope better and know exactly what to bring and do next time.

I've requested account deletion. I rarely post here, and there doesn't seem to be much point in hanging around. Might be back eventually.

Sorry you're leaving. Your account will be deleted in a week's time unless you change your mind.
