Time truly flies.
Clockwise: Pub verandah in Forbes / Australia Day / Frangipanis / Surf’s up
In one week Mike and I will be getting on a plane and flying back to the USA. As much as I’ve loved my time in Australia, after ten months I feel ready to go. Of course there are plenty of places I didn’t get to explore (Western Australia, Northern Territory, Tasmania), but I’m satisfied with all of the sightseeing that we’ve accomplished. We visited four states, most of the major cities, and plenty of country towns. Just the other day I met an Australian woman in her fifties (or so) who had never traveled beyond New South Wales. When you look at it like that, we’ve done pretty well. And even when you don’t look at it like that, we’ve still done well!
Only a few days left to walk along the water, eat local snacks, and spend time with friends. Better get busy!
xo, jill
Ah! I can’t believe your Aussie odyssey has come to a close; time really has flown! Do you guys know where you’ll be heading next after the States?

We do! 😉
Just waiting for a bit of paperwork to come through before I say anything. Don’t want to jinx it!
Oh my goodness, just saw your facebook comment on kitty-sitting and raced over to check your blog. How exciting! I had trouble for the last few months commenting on the blogspot. It decided it didn’t trust me. However, I’ve kept up with reading every one of your posts. Perhaps we can schedule a catch-up dinner in the Couv or Seattle (or somewhere nearby?) Looking forward to hearing “what’s next!”, but also just happy for you that you’ll have some home time in the near future!
Hi Nikki. I’m not on blogspot anymore so you should be free to comment as you please from now on… My summer schedule will be really tight but I’d love to see you. Will let you know when I’ll be passing through Seattle.
m’shallah. you’ve had a great run! can’t wait for the next chapter!!

Can’t wait to hear what’s next! That it requires paperwork means it’s exciting
Very jealous of your adventures! Oz just flew by didn’t it?
