The Land of Oz: Day Before Flight

G'day mate!!

This is the first of hopefully many posts about my month long trip to visit my dad in Australia. I'll try to update everyday on the events and going-ons of my adventure but it'll be likely I'll miss a few days here and there. I've created this blog to capture this trip for myself and to keep a few people back at home updated on what I'll be doing on the other side of the world. I got inspired by several other blogs I read on the daily and they were always so engaging and entertaining that I thought I'd try it out too. Not to say that I haven't tried before but I admit I've failed miserably with only one post in most previous blogging attempts. But this time I have a subject matter that I can focus on and hopefully that will keep me from rambling on too much as I am probably doing already :)

So to begin I am almost all packed up and ready to go. I spent the day getting ready and trying to plan out what I should bring.

My defininition of packed :)

Also did a few other errands that I knew would not be done in my absence. I wish I had a chance to say goodbye to a few friends before leaving but I had laundry running all day. I still have two loads that need to be washed, dried and packed away in my suitcase before tomorrow, yikes! I also worked on my little summer break project, an unfinished kitchen table. Proud to say that after a whole week slaving over it I am done with it! There were so many obstacles to overcome with this one since it seemed like every step forward took me two steps back. All the hard extra work will just make me appreciate it that much more!
