Alright so it apparently cost twice as much to buy the ticket from Canada instead of from Australia. So! now I bought a ticket from Canada to Sydney, Sydney to Brisbane and then returning from Sydney in November. My around the world ticket goes from Brisbane through Cambodia, India, China, Egypt, Greece, France, Montreal, Calgary (where I'll visit home for a week) and then returns to Sydney. From there I will go to Tasmania to visit with a friend of mine and a month and a half later I will return to Canada. It saves me about 900 dollars by the end but 900 bucks is still 900 bucks! I'll be able to buy my around the world ticket very soon.
And I leave tomorrow!!
