As I walked into the airport this morning I felt another rush of excitement. You see, I have been mainly calm and apathetic about my ticket to Australia but then, all of a sudden, the anticipation catches up with me and I begin to dance a little jig. Sometimes in my mind, most often quite literally, but the neighboring stares don’t bug me. I am sure they wish they were going to Australia for three months too!
I am on my way to Connecticut to see my grandparents and other east-coast family and this is my second to last flight before my 13 hour doozer. Dozer? I guess a little bit of both as I will definitely doze on that flight. Ok, enough word play for now although I am having quite a bit of fun!
I am really looking forward to touching down in Brisbane in 22 days. I shall expect a full welcoming party with fireworks, chocolate, dancing bears, etc and I think I will actually get more than I bargained for! In all seriousness, Todd has very amazingly organized a trip to Fraser Island for the weekend I get there. So after 13 hours of flying, I will be dragging my tired self up to one of the most beautiful places in Australia (and probably the world). Fraser is known for being the biggest sand island in the world and absolutely unbeatable in its diverse and spectacular terrain. Poor me, right?
Many people have asked what I will be doing while I am there and the short answer is that I really have no idea. On a vacation visa I will be unable to work but I will certainly keep myself busy. There is a food kitchen that Todd has volunteered at a few times that I hope to become acquainted with and I really want to supplement the class I took this summer on web design and really get my hands dirty. I was much busier with the kids than I initially expected and so I feel like I am falling behind my own goals for web design domination! In any case, I am not a couch potato (or a potato of any kind) and so I assure you all that I will keep myself and my brain fully occupied and exercised!
