Yeah! You could start by - wait, is this a vice filled four days or boring and puritanical?
Isn't there a middle ground where you cover every historical site of importance in a single country during four days? Because that's what I'd do. No time for vice when you're too busy sprinting to the next attraction.
$1800 could buy you a very entertaining four days if you stayed put!
Heehee.
My older brother is getting hitched, no way would I do it otherwise. Actually I'm kind of sad that he and his fiancee didn't tell me not to get them a present. Given that I have to drop that much money on the flight, and they already have my fridge and crockery from when I lived in Australia, I'd have thought that might be enough. I love my brother dearly but my pockets have limits. :P
In fact I find the whole concept of wedding gifts increasingly outdated. The original idea was to give young couples a hand with setting up house, which is totally cool. But a lot of couples live together before marriage these days, and/or get married much later in life when they've already been living independently for several years, and therefore already have their house stuff sorted. More people seem to be asking for nothing, or say to kick in for the honeymoon or even donate to a charity if you must get them something. Hooray for progressiveness and changing with the times.
Today I overheard a woman say, "I'd only consider getting married for the presents." Totally serious about it. Um, yay... a good excuse to wangle stuff out of your closest family and friends?

Not a bad idea! Although for such a trip I'd choose somewhere like Liechtenstein (62 sq mi) rather than Australia (2,969,907 sq mi) - I just don't sprint quite that well.

It's not so difficult if you use a train or a bus to help with the sprinting. Though, I'll agree. Australia would probably take at least a week for my family to tear through. I may have said this before, but my family does blitzkrieg vacations. There is absolutely nothing restful about them. If you stop to have a beer, we already left you behind at the pub.
@Pants: See above. You can't run fast enough when sauced.
Roll, then! Roll through the gates of hell, with a head on a spike! Hard to do when one of your hands has a bottle of vodka in it. You'd just go around in circles.

Reactivation for my Warhammer Online account. Because I wanted to see if my characters are still there. They are, but due to multiple server closures, my guild and friends list isn't. Booooooo.
And I have completely forgotten how to play this game. HOW I MINE FOR FISH?
Got a few MP3 albums now that my money has come in today!
Th1rt3en by MegaDeth £6.99
Jethro Tull - The Anniversary Collection £5.99
(I liked Aqualung a lot when I played Guitar Hero/Rock Band, so I tought I'd look into his stuff a bit more. This looks like the best way of doing that)
Motorhead - The World is Yours £4.47
(I heard their newest album is pretty good, and for that price, its worthwhile having a look into)
EDIT:
Picked up The first three Rainbow albums up as well.
The first three specifically since that was before Dio left and the band went all Pop-ish.
so thats £3 + £4.50 + £4.50
So another £12 on music.
Well... at least music lasts a long time for me. If I like something I listen to it a lot.
Besides, I haven't bought anything, gaming-wise since the christmas sales, so this balances my typical spend on games.
Books. A large number of books. Cost me a good deal of Christmas money, but I've updated my collection and finished off that Inheritance series that's taken forever and a day to finish in addition to supplementing the rest of the series that I've been collecting. I'm going to need some bigger bookshelves after this, that's all I have to say.
A new Fisher Space Pen. It's absolutely the best pen I've ever owned, and I'm so happy to have one again after losing my last one. Also, this was the second and last time I got to use my REI employee discount.

Oooh, those are the ones that can write upside down, underwater, and on greasy surfaces, right? I've got one...somewhere. I used to use it only to take final exams so it could be my lucky pen, but then I also didn't want it to run out of ink, so I stopped doing that. Also, I didn't want to ruin its winning streak by taking it to college finals...

For some reason I read that as Fisher Price Space Pen and was momentarily confused. Oh, you nutty NERV people.

I ordered it last year for £12.99, but it arrived today.

I can't believe you even need to ask this of me.

I'm thinking you'll need a helicopter....
True, true. What was I thinking? Spoilers: I wasn't.
QUICK! You've had the displeasure of knowing me for years! What was the last coherent thought you remember me having!?

God. Saved about 7€ compared to what I would have payed in the Steam X-mas sale.
lawl@me running

Just bought Shank XBox360 for 600 MSP. And then some actual MSP so I can keep my balance over 5000. (Ongoing issue with Microsoft, don't ask)
Bam! Suddenly, handsfree.
A hand appears to be holding it in this picture. Bogus, I say! Bogus!
That's my bartender RN.

...for when I need a good laugh.
I am fine with this. I trust it is live and not neutered as the URL suggests it is?

Yeah, I guess it's for kids. But look at that face - he's the cutest little humidifier around!
I just had this feeling I had to buy it, and I got it super heap to.
(Well if I get it since I ordered it from TheHut...
Best part, is that since I already have Rock Band 3 I can trade my old copy back in, and get £12 store credit at CEX.
£30 -£12 = £18
£18 for the last controller basically, thats a fair deal.
(Man! I spent loads on this stuff, but I think its worth it. Having the Guitar, Drums, Microphone, and Keyboard will make me great at parties! XD)
Might look into getting a midi to usb adapter and use it to make some simple, videogame music style stuff.
Totally looks like...
