Tomorrow I'll be getting my hands on a golden ticket...

An open ticket to almost anywhere in the world

I think I'm going to cry.....

It'll be valid ALL of 2005....where the hell am I suppose to go?

Oh yeah, the only catch is I won't be travelling solo....I can feel the arguments starting already

So everyone, looks like the ticket is a go.

In either late September or early October of 2005 I'll be on a plane bound for Australia.

The time frame will be somewhere between 6 months to a year.

Let the planning being!



Pinion is going to Australia!

Awesome! So how did you decide on that? Will you be able to just travel or will you work while you're there?

I've got some family in Australia, so I'll have a place to stay for a period of time. I'll also have people to stay with in Fiji, so I've got some strings I can pull there.

I'm planning on working while I'm there to pay my way around.
