70 Days and Counting...

The time is certainly flying by fast and it almost seems like yesterday when I bought my ticket. My Mom and I were driving to Little Rock, Arkansas in July of this year when I made the call to STA Travel to purchase my ticket to the land down under! Fun times!

So I've been thinking about ways to keep myself occupied during my 14 1/2 hour flight to Sydney. I've always wanted a portable DVD player but the battery will die before my reach my destination. I checked the airlines website to see if they have A/V outputs by the seats but they are only in First and Business Class. Darn! My ticket is in Economy Class. I may just have to break down and pay for a movie or two along the way or read a book or magazine. I could always sleep but I don't know how successful that will be. I think I will be so excited that I won't be able to put myself to sleep. However, my flight leaves at 11:45pm and I will be exhausted from all the running around I did during that day so who knows. It will be interesting to find out. Who knows, maybe I will meet a hot Aussie girl and we will have endless conversations to keep me occupied. Wouldn't that be something! haha! I will have a full report in my first blog entry once I land in Sydney.

This is my last week at this job before I head over to the bank. I will be on PTO from next Tuesday to Friday and then start on the following Monday at the Bank. I'm excited to start this new chapter in my life! In other news, the Bearcats beat West Texas A&M in the 2nd round of playoffs last weekend and will travel to Chadron this weekend. If we win against Chadron then we will play the winner of Grand Valley/Central Washington game and I will most definately be going to that game. I predict NW to win 35 to 21 over Chadron! Go Bearcats!!!

I still have awhile until my trip but starting in December I will start tanning so I don't fry when I get over there. I mean who wants to see a white pasty American on the beach? Probably no one! Haha!

That's all for now!!!
