When the first boatload of English convicts set sail for Australia on May 13, 1787, they began a journey that would not end for 250 days, only to then face the challenge of setting up a colony from scratch . Now, 223 years later, I will arrive on the other side of the world - a place where the toilet water flows the wrong way and Christmas feels more like the 4th of July - after just 24 hours and 10 minutes of travel.
After a struggle at Self Check-in, a frantic repacking of my 58-pound suitcase, and wiping of tears at security, I'm on my way! Hopefully the flights will go smoothly, and so will the next year, and hopefully this blog will be a way to keep in touch with everyone I love at home!
