Preparations Continue!


Eight days and counting! Most of our major preparations are complete, but there remains more than a few items on our checklist yet to do.

We don't know if our new little eee pc will connect well to wired and wireless internet during our travels, but we hope so!

I'll test the linking feature by trying to post an Australian map here. We will be starting from Sydney in the southeast, then flying to Cairns in the northeast to stay at a B&B north of there on the edge of the rainforest. From there we will fly to Alice Springs in the center of the country before flying to Uluru (Ayer's Rock) and then back to Sydney again. That is the equivalent of flying from South Florida to Maine to Chicago to the southern part of Missouri and back to South Florida again!

Our plans include: Amanda, museums, mountains, rainforest, deserts, camels, star-gazing, the Great Barrier Reef, aborginal art & sites, bookshops, great food...etc.

OMG, two comments already! And to think I already have forgotten my user name (bad) but managed to figure out how to add the LT 'random books from my library" thingy (good).

You ladies are pros at this, I'm sure. Thanks for being our first posters!

I know you are up to your eyebrows with preparations, Lois, but I'd love a dated itinerary if you have time, so that I can follow where you are and when.
