Leavin' on a Jet Plane

When did we swap "Jet Plane" for "Airplane"? I think Jet Plane has a much more adventurous ring to it, but I digress.
It's official! I booked a ticket to Australia and am leaving on Monday. Will be back in SD by Thanksgiving. Thanks so much to all of you who emailed me your travel tips, it's not too late to send more if you think of anything. I revised my itinerary below, and think I am now going to go to Barossa Valley and drink some wine, instead of Margaret River.

Oh, and btw- you *do* need a visa! Only took about 10 minutes online.
Potential Inconvenience #1 averted. whew.

The only sad news about this whole thing is that I have to give up my Madonna ticket. I am super bummed and will have to try & catch her in action somewhere else. Before she runs off with A-Rod.
