Are We There Yet?
Wednesday, December 20th, 2006
I guess I owe you some explanation on the blog title. Heath Ledger probably deserves some explanation as well, considering we don’t even know each other – yet. Here’s the background: Last year I took my annual see some place foreign and therefore cooler than my hometown trip to Peru. I named my blog I’m Not Going to Get Robbed, I’m Not Going to Get Robbed, I’m Not Going to Get Robbed and as you can probably guess, I got robbed.
So this year I decided to go the opposite direction with my trip to Australia. Rather than focusing on the absolute worst thing that could happen, I’m going to focus on the best. I mean, obviously my blog names have magic super powers and tend to come true so I wouldn’t be at all surprised if I did in fact meet, fall in love with and marry Heath Ledger during my two weeks down under.
We take off in 5 days. Me from Little Rock, Arkansas and Elizabeth from Memphis, Tennessee (although she’s a bean town resident). Am I ready? Hell no. But I’m confident I can get my stuff together at some point in the next few days if I lay off the eggnog. Cross your fingers that we’ll find a WWoof host in the coming days, as that’s a pretty important part of the trip.
