Welcome to my first blog!
Well, it’s 18 days until I embark on a 20+ hour combination of flights that will land me in Melbourne, Australia. That is… 20+ hours of flying COACH. I’m crossing my fingers for a nearly empty plane so I can stretch out, but I’m not getting my hopes up. I leave August 6 around 3pm our time, and when all is said and done, I touch down in Melbourne on Friday, August 8 at 8am their time.
The plan this time in Oz is backpack through more cities, and work my way around the country over four months. I don’t have a real itinerary and I’m not planning on making one. I don’t want anything structured… whatever happens will happen. I know I want to hit a few specific places but the “when” and for “how long” is yet to be answered.
I will certainly miss a lot of people while I am gone. I am missing a few important events as well… the bf’s birthday, at least one wedding, and my favorite holiday, Halloween. Australia’s singular downfall is that they don’t dress up for Halloween. I may have to bring over the one American tradition they need, but that will require the perfect costume. It may take some time…
Please check back often … I will update as much as I can and put pictures up to show you all the fabulous things I get to see.
Enjoy!
Kim
