officially one month

try to keep up. actually i lied, only 29 days left till departure. as silly as this sounds, i'm actually looking forward to the 20 hour flight!! we have a ton of things planned for the 2 weeks that the boys will be in tow. in fact, jen and i haven't even thought of what to do when they leave - we don't even know what city we want to live in. here's the itinerary:

sun, sept 26th - depart for sydney (w/stops in san fran and new z)

tues, sept 28th - yep, we don't arrive till 2 days later...7:28am sydney time

wed, sept 29th - play in sydney...i'm thinking bondi beach day

thurs, sept 30th - ugh. drive day in our hyundai getz. 13 hours to surfers paradise!

fri, oct 1 - frolic on the gold coast all day long

sat, oct 2 - drive to brisbane (called brissy) and KOALA SANCTUARY

sun, oct 3 - drive to fraser island, worlds largest all sand island

mon, oct 4 - another drive day (on the left hand side btw!!) 14 hours to airlie beach

tues, oct 5 - board 'clipper' at noon for a 3 day cruise around great barrier reef

thurs, oct 7 - come back to shore at airlie/whitsunday islands

sat, oct 9 - one way back to sydney, bye bye car!

sun, oct 10 - boys fly back to reality, jen and i.....? no idea

needless to say the first 2 week adventure is so friggin fun that i haven't even bothered myself with the things i should actually be concerned with like, where to live..how to get around..where to work? ahhh!! it just can't come soon enough!
