I've officially booked my flight and lodging for a 16 day trip to Australia! I'm so excited I am not quite sure how to act. It's not until November, so jumping up and down with joy seems a bit premature. I'm just massively looking forward to this "screw you, injury" trip, now that I'm finally healed up and fit to travel.
I'll be flying to Melbourne first, where I'll be spending the majority of my time in Oz. I have a lovely flat in Southbank and I can't wait to explore. I'm going to see the magnificent Pamela Rabe in a solo performance in The Testament of Mary at The Malthouse theatre. If any Aussies read this, I highly recommend you go see it as well. I'm flying halfway around the world just to see it!
After spending 13 days in Melbourne, I will be flying to Sydney for a brief 3 day visit. I couldn't leave the land down under without seeing it's most famous city! I have an apartment right on the harbor, with an incredible view of the harbor bridge and the opera house. The view is a million bucks, no joke. I'm so pumped.
The only thing I'm a little nervous about is transportation. I'm almost definitely not going to rent a car, because I have never driven on the left side of the road and the idea of doing so terrifies me! That's still in question, but I'm not likely to try. Too scary.
