It's already Valentine's Day down under so consider this your virtual Valentine.
Okay, so your day starts when I pick you pre-dawn and we drive out to Sydney's outskirts for a dawn hot-air balloon flight.
We help them inflate the balloon and then rise in the darkness, up through the morning mist and into a wide silent sky.
As we look to the east, the sun stretches lazily and wakes from it's slumber and the first threads of pink and orange and gold begin to creep across the sky. Looking down we can see the morning mist beginning to break up revealing the rural setting below. Slowly but surely morning pushes night from the sky, which turns a thousand shades of blue before settling down to a deep azure. We pass over open fields where horse shy from the shadow of our balloon. Dogs dance in circles and bark silent hellos. And we drift wherever the wind takes us, free from cares or worries, totally at peace and at one with the sky. Finally we land, with a bump and a scrape and after packing helping pack the balloon we retire to a breakfast of BBQ chicken, champagne and fresh fruit.
There's watermelon, kiwi fruit, honeydew melon, strawberries, rock melon, grapes, apple, pineapple and a whole lot more besides.
When we return to the car, there's a dozen boxed roses waiting for you. Yellow of course as befits a girl from the Lone Star state. Rose potpourri and rose oil and a selection of luscious chocolates.
So we set of back to town, and I look at you and your smile would light up several small galaxies. I drop you off at the Observatory Hotel where you will spend the next few hours being pampered beyond belief in their day spa before dressing for pre dinner drinks at the Horizon Bar, where we just sit by the window and look at the city and harbour spread out below.
Then it's off to dinner. Down at Circular Quay we meet our 40ft motor launch and cruise around to Cockle Bay where we moor and place our orders at Nick's. When the meals are delivered we set off to cruise the harbour for the evening. You, me and the captain. We cruise and dine as the sun sets and the lights of the harbour city begin to shine. Alas eventually the evening has to end and we return gently back to shore. I stroll with you around the Rocks to the Park Hyatt Hotel looking out upon the opera house, and I see you to your door. Gently I take your hands in mine and raise them to my lips kissing each tenderly. I thank you for the most beautiful day and the warmth and joy of your company, and bid you then a good night.
You retire to sleep - happy I hope, to wake warm and snug in the safety of your own bed.
You seem really nice so this is just a little gift from me to you. I really hope that love finds you in unexpected and wonderful ways today and always. As I hope it does everyone, whether you have someone special or not.

That was so, so sweet! I can't believe you did that! That was the best Valentine ever, virtual or not. I think we may have a psychic connection. Riding in a balloon has always been a dream of mine, AND the one place I want to visit more than anywhere else in the world is Austraila! I can't believe you thought up something so perfect.
Why you thought of me I don't know, but I'm very, very touched.

Let's just say your post above touched me deeply and I just wanted to do something nice for you.
Gifts of kindness and imagination are free and their value can only truly be known by the recipient. So if you smiled and were happy, then anything that was given has already been returned many times over.
Think I'll just crawl back under the invisibility cloak where it's safe now if that's okay.
Damos
P.S: What are you waiting for. Go, ride in a balloon, just do it for you. It's beautiful.

Oh LegWarmers you've missed your true calling. You should be writing romantic comedy, your story was way better than Hitch ;-)
And yes, yes, the two of you should absolutely go shopping for dresses, Collette Dinnigan, Akira Isogawa, and for accessories at Tiffany and Co.
Thank you so much for the broad smile and LOL your script editing brought. It was nice having you along for the ride ;-)

Hee, hee! You crack me up LW.
But forget shopping, I want to see the rain forest! That would be so freaking awesome! Especially one that old!
Here's something I've read about it:
Daintree Tropical Rain Forest Queensland
The virgin rainforests here are amongst the most ancient ecosystems on earth. Some trees are more than 2,500 years old.Towering fan palms stretch towards the sunlight filtering through the rainforest canopy, while the brilliance of the coloured flowers enliven the surrounds.
Some species of plants have survived here since the days of the dinosaurs. The mossy trunks of the ancient trees hold a canopy of dense green aloft. Dappled sunlight filters through to the ferns, cycads and vines. Birds, animals and reptiles continue to live as they had for eons.
WOW! I want to see an ancient tree with a mossy trunk!!! Just the thought makes me dizzy! I would commune with nature and never ever leave.

Wow! I have no idea what post you're referring to. But I always put my heart into everything I write, so I'm glad something I wrote touched you. I realize sometimes I come off melodramatic, but it seems to be the only way I can communicate.
> Gifts of kindness and imagination are free and their value can only truly be known by the recipient. So if you smiled and were happy, then anything that was given has already been returned many times over.
You don't know what an impact you made on me. For once I wasn't sad about Valentine's day at all! I couldn't wait to tell the girls at work about my virtual valentine from the anonymous Australian dude! They were so jealous. You made my day. XXX (Virtual kiss on the cheek!)
> Think I'll just crawl back under the invisibility cloak where it's safe now if that's okay.
Did you get embarrassed from all the attention your post got? You should know girls LOVE a romantic! Its like I was saying earlier, it takes alot less romance to impress a girl than most guys think. And your post was VERY romantic, so off course it just blew us all away!
Thanks again! You're destined to make some Aussie chic VERY happy! Maybe even a few of them! ;-)

I thought after climbing up a rope of a lifting hotair baloon to get inside it would tatter my clothes and Id look terrible for dinner, especially since I was sneaking in lol So a dress was needed as well as the spa to fix my wind blown hair and chipped nails ; ).

When I read the part about wanting to visit Aust, my first thought was that you should see the Daintree.
Anyways here's where you'd want to stay. LegWarmers could probably even cope with roughing it here.

Glad it was a nice day for you :-)

can be as tongue-tied as they want! Just a quick note left on a pillow will turn a girl's head faster than the slickest of speeches!
We gotta get this guy a woman in Aussie land... Or convince him to move to Texas for TexacChic; which I would like since I am moving there later this year! One can never have too many friends!!

For you we'd send the special magical balloon to whisk you and the little ones safely across the sky in the blink of an eye, once or twice around the moon and across the Milky Way.

That place is awesome! Do you know how many times I dreamed of living in the elves treehouse on Lord Of The Rings??? Okay, I'm showing my geek side, but I don't care.
Now I have a specific place to dream about!
