4 days left...

So I finally leave for my year-long Australia expedition in 4 days!

I've been thinking about this trip since I was in high school, heck I even cosidered pushing off my first year of college for it. Now I've finished college and have absolutly no reasons not to go.

I don't really have any solid plans for what I'm going to do once I get over there. I do know that I'm going to arrive in Sydney and hang out with my Nan for a while.. I have a whole lot of paperwork to take care of once I arrive.. need new paperwork for my aussie citizenship, a tax ID number, aussie credit card, etc.


Things I want to do:

- see my two aunts and uncles that live in Adelaide and Brisbane, as well as cousins scattered across the country.
- find some work on a cattle station up in Queensland or elsewhere.
- learn to surf
- get lost somewhere
- try and visit parts of asia via cheap local airlines
- keep a flexible plan so that I can jump on any good opprotunities

As I'm getting rid of my cell phone (ahhh!), this blog as well as my email address (posted on my profile) will be the best way to contact me while I'm over there. Will play around with skype and international calling cards, but that will be figured out more later on.

I want to finish by giving thanks to my family for helping me make this trip possible. My nan, mum, and brothers, and aunts have all been a great help so far, and I wouldn't be making this trip so soon without their advise, tips, and support.
