Countdown to Paradise

As you may or may not know, I will be leaving Minnesota, currently at a frigid temperature of -12, to study in Australia for 5 months.  Sadly, I hate to admit, I haven't even unzipped my suitcases to begin packing, yikes!  I hear it is currently 100 degrees in Perth and when we leave at the end of June it will be in the 60's--how a girl is supposed to pack a wardrobe for such a wide range of temperatures is beyond me!  Well the next time I write I will give a brief capture of our stay in Fiji and New Zealand, and then begin my 5 month stay in Australia, with frequent updates, so enjoy!
