Last Week in the States

After over a year of planning, it's hard to believe I'm down to five days until the adventure of a lifetime begins. I got an email a few days ago that our flight from Los Angeles to Brisbane had been canceled. They re-booked us and I now have 50 hours of fun between the time I depart Bloomington and arrive in Brisbane. Anybody who has ever flown with me knows I don't have the best of luck, so it will be interesting to see how my luggage handles 4 plane transfers and my body handles over 2 full days of travel. At least I'll be racking up the airline miles as it's 18,000 round trip. I'm eager to begin my time in a country so similar to ours but a culture so different. I'm still not sure of my internet situation so I don't know how often this will be updated, but I'll do my best share the stories. Cheers!
