Woke up today and ventured into Katoomba, still managing to maneuver the car. Stopped at a chocolate shop that my guide book recommended and sure enough- the handmade treats were delicious! I was headed out to the Sky Tour out in the mountains, by ... Read more >

On my way out of the city towards the Blue Moutains I stopped in the outlying city of Parramatta to stock up. I just have to say, the Target in Australia is thoroughly dissapointing. Their clothes are lame, housewares scarce, and there's no popcorn ... Read more >

Yesterday I did the unthinkable. I rented a car in a country where they drive and sit on the WRONG side. After having been here for almost three weeks, I felt ready. Since day one I have been walking, turning, filing, crawling, and BREATHING on the ... Read more >

So far this last Saturday has been the highlight. Madellen, Chris's friend, took me for a ride around the city on her "motorbike"- scooter to us. Her name is "Lola". And she's a showgirl. ;) We hopped on the bike from Madellen's ... Read more >

Friday morning I woke up to an absolute downpour! Felt like home. I stayed in and got my Aussie cell phone working. So exciting. I have numbers for six people. Woo-hoo. That night I planned to catch the bus into North Sydney to meet Chris and Madellen ... Read more >

Okay- here I am at the Auckland, New Zealand Airport. Made it over the equator and across the International Date Line and starting to actually FEEL far away. But, everyone around me is still human, willing to help, and probably feeling some degree ... Read more >
