ONE WEEK!!!

ONE WEEK!!!

I haven't updated since January, but here is what is happening:

* I fly out in ONE WEEK! April 18th, 4pm. RDU to ATL, then ATL to LAX, then LAX to SYD. I will land in Sydney April 20th, about 7am.

*I am going to stay with my friend Bert the first weekend, until I am thoroughly on Sydney time.

* Monday, April 23rd I will check into a hostel in Coogee beach and apend the next week in my single room lounging the beach, exploring Coogee, traveling to the city when I want.

* I will move to a hostel more in the middle of the city for the next few days. I want to at least take a trip to the Blue Mountains, spend my scuba coupon and tour coupon, and spend a day at the harbour.

* Friday, May 4th, I fly from Sydney to Adelaide to begin my "real life" in Australia. I will be renting a room from my good friend Sarah and her family. I will start looking for a job in or around Adelaide. I will pretend to be Australian!

I am going to try my best to update this blog as frequently as possible. I still have lots to do this next week (I haven't even begun to pack!), but I am trying not to let the stress get to me. I still need to try and see a few people before I leave. And lots of people have promised to visit me (they better!), so hopefully I will not be without some of my favorite Americans for 6 whole months.

Getting Excited!
