I am counting down the days till I finally get to use my passport and get my first steps on Australian soil. Yes folks, sad though it may seem, I am feeling hysterically excited about my first grown up trip overseas! To Australia, or Sydney to be more specific. I have traveled before, to Fiji, when I was two, and eight years old, so that doesn't really count.
So I'm off, kiddy and Hubby free, to a family wedding. I don't know how much of Sydney I will get to see, but hey, I'll be in a foreign place with a strange accent (theirs, not mine), so I can kid myself it's somewhere further than a three hour flight away.
I've packed the important things...
Passport...check
New Frock...check
New shoes...check
Credit card...check.
What else do I need?

you can get Vegemite here, so you'll be fine :-)
Oh do have fun, it's a beautiful time of year to be going to Sydney.
What else do you need? Berocca (for the post-wedding hangover).
But just so you know, it is you that has the funny accent :)
Have a wonderful trip!
A good crime novel!
Enjoy :D
The contact details of a few good Aussie publishers!
:)
Fabulously comfortable shopping shoes for the hours to be spent on feet....
See you on the otherside
Pack a brolly and a sunhat. And some blockout. If you love jasmine, you'll be in seventh heaven. I was in Balmain at the weekend and the air was filled with that unmistakable perfume. And the jacarandas are in bloom - a glorious sight amongst all the other trees in Sydney (the trees are something I never stop noticing). Enjoy Sydney, my beautiful adopted home.
Suntan lotion, mossie cream, antihistamine bite cream, hat, fan, face mask in case of dust storms, and do have a wonderful time. I love Australia! Saw a T shirt today in Welly:
"God Bless America,
God Defend New Zealand,
Thank Christ for Australia!"
You need a great book and your writer's note book so you can record any inspirational thoughts or names etc, etc (assuming you have one of these), and a pen to write in it with. Have fun!
