So, I'm not at all sure how this will all work out, but hopefully this will become a tool for Eric and I to keep in contact with our friends and loved ones while we're off in Australia!
We're leaving on Wednesday, July 12 at 6:07 PM PST. First we're going to San Francisco, then to Aukland, and finally to Melbourne. In all, we'll spend roughly more than 22 hours on the plane and will lose a day. Needless to say, I'm so not looking forward to the plane ride. Eric and I have, however, been planning to combat a terminally long plane ride with music (we got a splitter so we can both listen to the same music), cribbage, travel scrabble, and, of course, sleeping. At least we're flying together so we can put the armrests up and try to sleep on each other!
Otherwise, we're both trying to prepare for this adventure - i.e., packing. So, not only do we need to pack for this, but we also need to put the rest of our stuff in storage - ugh. No one thinks packing is fun. But, it seems as though we will be able to fit all of our stuff in a 5 x 10 storage space.
So, it's all starting to come together nicely. Eric and I are both in good spirits and there's no stressing here (can you imagine eric getting stressed out about anything?!?) and now we're just counting down the days and trying to be as prepared as possible without overpacking.
Well, dinner is finished...I'm off to eat. Check back in in about a week or so, when we get to Melbourne and I'm sure we'll have a lot more to say (and pictures!)
