Well its september and the trip is less then 6 weeks away! i have been working hard to get as much information on the trip as i can. I have been scowering the Contiki messsage boards for advice and ideas. I think that i have gotten the budget worked out and it really seems like I will be able to do all the Optionals on the trip that i want, and have plenty of spending money, and some left over to pay the bills while i'm gone, so yay. I have a huge shopping list...

This is my first Blog!! I'm still in the planning process and saving up! My trip is almost paid off! I'm so excited to be going and very scared. I just wanted to put up my itinerary for the trip so that all of you can have an idea of what i have ahead! Depart for Australia Day 1 Day 2 Fly over the international date line on your way to Australia. Darwin & Litchfield National Park Day 3 Hotel Welcome to the Northern Territory - Contiki Style!!! What a way ...
