If you’re reading this, you’ve found what I intend to be the annals of my sojourn to the island continent. The idea of going to Australia was formulated several ~~years~~ decades ago when my college roommate Cindy and I would imagine traveling to far-off climes. For those of you born after 1972 or so, world travel used to be the exception rather than the norm among 20- and 30-somethings, so it has taken me a while to act on my idea. I depart for Hobart, Tasmania, via LAX and Melbourne, in 4 days. Stay tuned!
