How you going?

A popular phrase here, I unintentionally blurted it out when I saw Casey this morning. It sent a warm sensation through my blood that I'm starting to adapt the Aussie culture - I love it. The whole natural flow of my question was completely wrecked by my gawking reaction to my own question. How foolish I must have looked.

Nothing much to report here. I spent most of yesterday (the Queen's Birthday) reading travel guides cover to cover and making lists of must sees. Let the spreadsheet planning madness begin!! I may be able to take my first day trips this weekend...

Brace yourself and be thankful that you are in the U.S. I 'hired a car' (rented one) for tomorrow evening so that I can drive myself to training on Thursday and Friday, about 40 km from where I live. Not only will I be driving (which in itself is enough to evoke fear), I will also be driving on the wrong side of the road with a steering wheel on the wrong side of the car to a location with which I am completely unfamiliar. Yikes!
