One week to go!

Finally I am starting to feel excited rather than anxious! We watched Bondi Rescue last night - a docu tv show about the lifeguards on Bondi Beach. The episode was set on Christmas Day and involved lots of surfing Santas and a group of drunk, naked girls being rescued from the sea. I'm not sure what it says about me that this is what has finally started to get me excited about Australia :/

This final week is set to fly by in a whirl of train rides, beers, birthday parties, beer and beer. Then, this time next week, we will be emptying out our backpacks and repacking them several times; double and triple checking that we have our passports; and I'll be saying goodbye to my family (and, most importantly, my cat):
