Australia 2009 - Australia Bound!

---

Hello all, and welcome to my blog of Australia 2009. I guess I should first give you a bit of background info... I am headed to Australia for three weeks with three of my buddies (Alex, Tom & Shane), we're doing the whole backpacking thing, starting in Sydney, down to Melbourne and then up to Brisbane and the Queensland coast. Alex, Tom and I backpacked through Western Europe in spring of 2007, which was an awesome trip, the goal is to make this one as good or better! Anyways, we leave Calgary Friday night at 8:30 PM, connect in Vancouver to our flight direct to Australia, which leaves Vancouver at 11:45 PM Friday night, 15.5 hours later, we will arrive in Sydney on Sunday morning, hopefully Air Canada's new 777 is all its made up to be!

I figured I'd start out with the itinerary, and then as the trip gets going I'll do my best to keep this blog up to date!
