Hi friends and family!
This is my blog. I plan to update it as often as possible while I’m in Australia and New Zealand. That might turn out to be every couple days or every couple weeks, but I’ll do my best to keep you all informed about what I’ve been doing and where I’ve been. I promise I’ll post pics when I can, too. :)
Right now I’m working my way through a long list of things I have to get done over the next week. Things like buying travel insurance, making copies of my passport and other important documents, making sure my camera batteries and ipod are charged, and of course packing. I’m taking one decent-sized REI backpack (thanks Sarah!!) and a smaller backpack (as soon as I find a good one for <$20 on craigslist … that’s another thing I need to accomplish this week). Needless to say, I won’t be bringing much with me. I’ll have to choose my clothing carefully because I’ll be wearing the same few outfits over and over. Thankfully it’s going to be summer in Australia soon and bathing suits and sarongs don’t take up much space. :) I’m trying to decide if bringing eight books with me is excessive …
Fascinating stuff, eh? Keep checking back and hopefully the blog posts will get more exciting. :)
I loved having you over last night for dinner and to hear about your upcoming journey. So happy for you. YAY!! Have the adventure of a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteWhat is up with the library background? I know you like to read and all but this blog is going to be filled with crazy/dirty stories about kangerooz, sharks and hot rugby players! You're going to have the time of your life my dear.
ReplyDeleteMarie .. I will send you Marnie's info later today. You must connect with her. She is the greatest, and I know you will love spending time with her. Stay tuned ....

ReplyDeleteI just got caught up reading all your blog's. I love your crazy detailed stories and the fact that you met more animals than people :-p just kidding. I hear that South Australia rains a lot this time of year so glad your up north now! San Luis Obispo and all your friends miss you. I wish I was there with you especially now that i'm unemployed, if only I had the mula! If you see a Rugby game take some pics for me ;-) I'll be keeping in touch and Marco say's hi! Love ya!
