Good day Mate,
That sounds funny coming out of a girl's mouth from Burlington, NC. LOL. :-)
I am so glad that you are taking time out of your busy day to read my blog. As you can tell this is going to be a very informal blog. I plan to take you on the journey down under with me. I also plan to use it as a record for myself - menopausal memory -- you know!
Today I fly out! Oh, the packing, unpacking, repacking, stuffing until I finally got it all in one large suitcase for under the plane and one to carry on with me. Finished about 2:30 a.m. -- sounds like me -- I love the night time. I have a book and devotional book to read on the plane from my sister, snacks in my bookbag thanks to a dear friend, a blanket and head support (don't say it...I know...her big head needs support!) from my dear daughter and enough technology gadgets to appear real techie once I get there. After all, this is an educational technology study tour right? [I will update you on how this all came to be one day when I don't have much to say...LOL]
My goal for today is to survive the airports, customs and 24 hour 15 minute plane rides...oh my! Yes, I said plane rides...Raleigh to Charlotte, to LAX, to Sydney, and finally to Perth. It all begins at 4:00 today in Raleigh and ending in Sydney on Sunday morning. [Remember they are 14 hours ahead of us.]
Love to my family...thanks for your support...stepping up so I could step out for this once in a lifetime opportunity.
Let the journey begin...
Ann
p.s. Comment occasionally so that I know someone is indeed reading my blog :-)
The book you have for the plane ride, "Stolen Woman," is so good! I'd be willing to bet you'll have it finished long before you make it to Australia! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time! I will be praying for safe travel. Take some Benedryl with you to help you sleep on the plane. Bring me back a one of a kind down under treasure!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear all of your stories over a Yum Yum Hot Dog!!! Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like my kind if trip. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing fun about 30 hours of straight flying, but once your there; how breath-taking it must be. This is you place of most potential for the next 16 days. Have fun...
