T-minus 1 day...

Right, well here we go people... the first real post and all you computer people out there might actually be impressed that I put it in 1 day before I had to have it done... thats about 3 days earlier than expected. True it is actually 11:55pm at night but hey, bite me.

Anyway, we finally have most of the big stuff in terms of our preparation out of the way... but still have about 30 smaller things to do... like pack. Not sure if most people are aware of our actual plans but the basic idea at the moment is using our "1/2 round the world" tickest like this:

• Fly out of Perth to Sydney on Wednesday night
• 3 hours in Sydney airport then 14 hour flight to LA.
• 3 night in LA in the Orbit Hostel and take in Disneyland, maybe Universal, maybe the beaches - whatever takes our fancy really.
• Short flight to Vancouver
• Stay around Vancouver for a while and travel up north, maybe into Alaska, then make our way across to Ontario with a possible stop in New York and anywhere else that takes our fancy.
• Fly out of Ontario January 8 2006 into the UK.
• Find work as we will be broke.
• Travel to Rome for a few weeks in May 2006.

Its been great to catch up with most people before we head off and we are going to miss everyone heaps but we know the time will just fly by and we'll be back before you know it. And I'm trying to convince as many people as possible to come out and see us, such as Mark & Gordo, Matt & Maggie (if I ever get time to search out Banff accommodation), Kate & Ben and maybe even little Brooke. I'm also looking forward to catching up with Daron & Kim and Luke & Bel again too... I'll also get to sponge... ah sorry, see ... the other half of my family as basically I could pick many of them out of a line-up, but that will not be until next year.

Anyhoo, I'm off to bed as I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow.

Next stop? Sydney. Then a 14 hour flight to LA. Yay. *note sarcasm*
Looking forward to flying but I have a feeling that will go right out the window about 3 hours into the 14 hour flight...
