19Hours to Oz!

In 19hours time our flight would have depart for Melbourne! And, I hope in 20hours time I would be sleeping soundly on the plane. I will difficulty sleeping Im sure. Hope the clothes I bring are just right and enough for the weather. The temperature of Melbourne and Sydney can be quite different - Melbourne is cold and Sydney can be warm. Argh! I think I will have round 2 of packing tomorrow. Anyway, can't wait for the adventure to start! It's really a challenge for the 4 of us to plan a 12day trip in like 14days, out of which 10 days we are working. But looking at our itinerary Im sure we are good to go! Cya when we are back! :) Chu

Japan Switched - Australia.

Japan's trip called off (bonus to get full refund) & we are going Australia.
Our travelmates still remain as Kok & Esther. :)
First trip together, hope will be a great one!
Booked tickets for the long trip just 14days before the departure date.
Rushing for research, planning and all the bookings.
We are planning Melbourne while they will take care of Sydney.

What we settled so far?
Air Tics
ETA (visa equivalent)
1st Night stay at Melbourne
Great Ocean Road accomodation
VERY rough plan for Melbourne itineraray

Anyway, its really very saddening to watch the news on Japan.
Sometimes I would want to find out more but I can't bring myself to see the footages nor read about the sufferings the people there are going through.
And, we get quite upset when we hear people say things they shouldn't at such period.
I hope those people will use their brain and do someting more constructive for Japan than to just open their mouths and shoot rubbish.
Wish Japan will get over this tough period soon.
Their spirit to protect and reinstate their homeland is something we need to learn.
