Whispers of a Didgeridoo
Have you ever done something you thought was so spectacularly indulgent it made you ill and super-excited to be you at the same time? Well, I just did last night when I booked a round trip flight to Sydney.
It’s official. My next big vacation adventure is to Australia. I had talked it up this to the point of either committing or ruining friendships and credibility. And so, I pulled the trigger last night. $922 from NYC to SYD on Qantas. You got to admit, that’s a pretty stellar deal.
I still have a LOT more planning to do, money to spend, and tours/hotels/passes to book before I take off. And I got plenty of time, I’m not leaving until October, but the anticipation of knowing that I’ll be halfway around the world will keep my eyes on the prize for the rest of the year. One week by myself (not really) in the Outback, one week with Adriane in Tasmania. More or less.
Fun fact I learned: Australia is about the same size as the US. You would never think so on a map, but I’m learning that I will be spending a LOT of time on planes this time around.
Not worth saying anymore on this blog until I actually go, but get pumped. If this blog falls off the face of the earth for the next few months, I’ll at least have something come October.
Now if I can only finish documenting this Europe trip before then…
