Alrighty then!
I'm typing this on the night before I fly out of Australia.
I still can't believe I'm doing this.
I am about to embark on an 8 week adventure around Europe and the UK!
Sure, it doesn't look like much in a sentence, but last night I had a look through my plans so far, and I just can't fathom what I've gotten myself into.
Anyone who knows me knows that my comfort zone extends about 2 feet out from wherever I'm standing. I've always been a very safe, cautious person who just doesn't do exciting things!
Not things like this anyway.
So I ask that you bear with me:
• I will rant and rave about things that may seem mundane or completely obvious.
• I will become unaccountably excited about small details (I like small details!)
• My photos will be amateurish and plain.
• I will do all the things first-time tourists always do. And I will have an absolute blast doing them!

Welp, I'd better get back to packing. And counting down the minutes.

Up up and away
Have the first of many trips of a lifetime. How does a father bird feel to see his fledgling stand on the edge of the nest, hesitate.....then jump into the unknown? Alone, but proud. Dad

Hey, don't worry, there are barely any cannibals round here, so you should be fine. Apart from that, don't forget to sample the beer when in belgium, it's what we use to compensate for our lack of kangaroos, and it's pretty effective.
