Well, we successfully left Chicago after a flurry of late-night Christmas Eve revelry with our new favorite neighbors, Shaun and Carissa. A raucous 2:00 a.m. game of Silver Strike Bowling followed the next morning by a no-holds-barred breakfast extravaganza with the Finns, capped off the bizarre, but spectacular Christmas celebration. We managed to successfully drain the pipes in our house, and after losing and then finding my phone and house keys (a very tense 15 minutes) while our cab awaited, we managed to tumble into the back seat with our 200 lbs of luggage and get to the airport in one piece. The flight to San Fransisco was rough and I feared for the 15+ hour flight ahead of us, but once we got on the plane to Sydney and managed to worm our grubby way into business class (thanks, Nancy!) we were in great spirits! The 21-hour total flight took it's toll, but we arrived on the 27th full of energy to be in our new home city.

About the Journey
Enjoy our musings on living abroad in Australia! We will be here for the next 6-12 months, if we don't go broke first. So far, every day has proven to be an adventure as we settle into our new life down under. Wish us luck!
