The Pre-trip Post

So, just to catch everything up, my name is Ali, and I believe I will be the main "blogger" while the family is abroad. If you hadn't already guessed from the title, we are going Outback, Down Under. In two weeks, we are leaving to go to Australia for two months, and this blog is a way of keeping you all informed as we venture into the...world's backyard, if you will. My sister and I are unenrolling from the school system for these two months in search of a more hands-on experience in the exciting, frightening, and utterly bewildering enigma of the earth that is Australia. I, myself, am rather excited to see the Great Barrier Reef, the great Uluru/Ayers Rock monolith, and my bath water draining in a counter-clockwise circular motion. We are really psyched about this trip, and we will keep you informed every step of the way!
