A little worry. As usual.

Last night I finally purchased my ticket to Australia.

This is going to be an expensive trip. And I am really starting to feel the butterflies. Instead of going on this trip, I could be paying off a charge card. Or getting dental work done. Or using it as a down payment on a new vehicle. But I'm going to Australia. Eleven days that will be over quickly, and then I'll be back to the present, with only some pics to show for it.

I know, I know, travel is wonderful, broadens the mind, all that. I just feel really wierd that I'm doing this. I'm usually more practical than this.

But when will I have the chance to go to Australia again?

I just don't know. So I have to try now.

But that doesn't mean that I'm not going nuts. I am going nuts. Really. I'll owe in taxes (I always do every year, the fun of owning your own business) and I'll be broke, and I'll say Why did I take that trip.

*sigh*

I'm certain I'll feel very differently when I'm actually there, but right now, I'm a little freaked out.

That's a big promise...I am taking all three 256K memory cards, so 300+ pics. There is a fab cemetery outside of Sydney.

I had a choice between seven days and no Sydney and 11 days with one day in Sydney for an extra $400 airfare...so I took the Sydney option. Just to see the cemetery. That kind of scares me.

I'll definitely put a few of the good pics on LJ.

The timing is too bad - my friend in Sydney is actually in the UK right now and then will be coming here in a few weeks, so he can't take you out and show you around. Or when are you going? Maybe he'll be back by then...

I will only be in Sydney for one day. That day will be October 13th (Australian date). And I already know I will be spending some time at the graveyard of amazing things. :)

Anthony would happily trundle along in the graveyards with you, or meet you for lunch afterwards...if he's in Sydney. Heck, you may meet him at my house in October, depending on his plans.

Sounds cool! I have to look up the cemetery again so that I can remember which one it is. I'll have to print out directions, we are renting a car. I don't think my friends will want to accompany me...they have a five year old who will be with us, and I don't think that they'd want him to wander a cemetery. ;) So they'll probably drop me off for a few hours.
