YAAYY!!! We made it! We had a great, safe flight & temporary settling in Brisbane for our first day! The flight was about 13hrs which included 2 meals (& yes I totally geeked out & took a picture of it!) with loads of movies, games, music ect. to entertain even though I spent a large portion sleeping. We lucked out in the fact that Liz & I did not have seats next to eachoher because it encouraged us to befriend our neighbors & get up & walk around. While exhausted but at the same time excited so far we've already walked a great portion of downtown Brisbane while exchanging visas & whatnot. Currently I'm using the free internet @ the public library. Tonight is one night in a hostel called the Yellow Submarine before heading slightly south for the weekend & then on the move again to do a week of training before finding a job. My time's almost up but I'll do a quick summary. Within the first day of travels we have befriended new aussie contacts, chatted up a few locals, had my first Australian coffee & meal-Delicious!, & began life as a traveler living in hostels. Everything pretty much seems surreal at this point & I've already become snap happy although I realized I left my usb cord @ home...so I'll have to figure out how to upload pictures soon enough so be patient!
Alright I've added a few pictures from the plane ride Brisbane! Yay for pics.!!!
I'm glad you made it safe - I'll have to tell Tim where your blog is so he can check it out. I told him you were going to Australia for a year and he was VERY interested in doing the same.
