Aussie!

After talking about it and trying to plan it for ages, I finally bought plane tickets to Australia!! I will be going to Sydney on August 24th-August 28th, then to Cairns and doing a 3 day, 2 night liveaboard dive trip with Megan!  I will then fly back from Cairns to Brisbane (I have a 10hr layover in Brisbane, so I could checkout town, but it's from 11pm-9:45am) then Brisbane to Dunedin leaving Sunday the 1st and getting back home the afternoon of the 2nd!  Next I will book the liveaboard and then figure out the details! I have a friend who is 30min outside of Sydney and its a $2.50 train ride into the city from there, so I may spend 2 nights with her and 2 nights at a hostel in town.  Anyway, more to come later.  Off to Christchurch this weekend still, but looks like a rainy weekend--good thing we have rain coats!
