2 Weeks to go!

The background of this blog is a picture of exactly where I am going to be (Coogee Beach) in about 2 weeks. My journey is starting off in Honolulu, Hawaii for a few days and then I'm officially leaving the country on February 12th. I'm making an Australia bucket list right now, if I can get 75% of it done by the end of the semester I'll be happy...

In no particular order

  • scuba dive the great barrier reef
  • Lake Manapouri
  • nomad through the outback (starting in darwin, ending up in Cairns)
  • explore sydney
  • make the trek to Melbourne
  • See Tasmania
  • Figi
  • Visit friends in New Zealand
  • See a kangaroo, Koala, etc
  • See the three sisters
  • Hike in the blue mountains
  • Put shrimp on a barbie
  • eat a vegemite sandwich
  • surfer's paradise
I'm thinking that will grow over time, but that's what i'm starting off with. I am anticipating the best semester of my life, and I'm pretty sure I won't be disappointed.
