Australia here we come!!!!

With less then three days until we leave there is so much to do. Packing and planning for our month away is exausting! I know that when I look back on this preparation it will have been well worth the time I put into it. I am constantly remembering one more thing that needs to be done or an item I simply must not leave out of my luggage. I am so anxious to start our adventure and meet with the many Aussie's that have planned our ambitious list of activities. Tomorrow night we will get to meet with the In-bound Australia team from district 9680. They are scheduled to arrive in New Jersey this evening. I am anxious to probe them with questions about their flight, the jet lag ( I hear it's a nightmare coming from there to here), and all the wonderful things and people we will experience in their fine country. Time is flying so fast now! When I said the next three weeks would be the longest of my life I was wrong. I am honestly not sure where the last three weeks have gone. I am sure that our GSE team is ready to go "Down Under". District 9680...... I hope you are ready for Jersey!

I went to sleep this Thursday night and thought,"Yeah, those guys are still flying." I hardly slept on my flight to Korea, and then when we got there we had a meeting with our GSE committee. I thought "Can I just get to bed now?!?!?!" Thank goodness it was night time there when we arrived.

I've sent the photos taken by me this morning to Janet and she may need assistance to get them onto the blog. Is there someone who might be able to help her please?
Cheers,
John.

The first time that I realize that we are actually going down under was a week before the trip. It is kinda exciting right and I got so excited that I didn't got any sleep just by thinking about it. I ended up asleep the night that we arrived after a few hours on the plane. Well, I thought I missed a lot but the adventure is only about to start. My advice to you is to enjoy your every minute in the country as it has tons of good places to go and a lot of natural resources that offers adventure. Hope you have a great time.
