return to Australia and other adventures ahead!

Welcome to my blog! I created this before my first trip to Australia in the summer of 2006, but wasn't able to access it from my computer there. Hopefully that won't be the case this time. I am still working on the final copy of my itinerary but I should have that posted by the end of the weekend so you can see where I will be over the next month. Please leave comments, explore the page, etc. In the meantime, it's back to packing and other last minute things!
