Getting ready for my many adventures in Australia!

Its finally come. The week before my departure to Australia. I have always dream't of leaving and going on the big adventure but it just recently became a reality. Even after booking the flight it hadn't really hit me. Now that my departure date is just around the corner I can really start believing that my dream is coming true.

My flight leaves Vancouver on February the 15th. I fly into San Francisco for a lay over then out to Australia. I land there sometime on the 17th. I know...LONG FLIGHT! But it will totally be worth it. Plus who doesn't love plane rides. You get to sit beside people you don't know, you get great snacks and its one of the best places to sleep, hands down! So should be a good time all round.

I am going through a program called Swap. It gets all your visas, flights and banking set up for you so that when you get there you already have a handle on things. They have a home base set up for when I get there. They give me an orientation when I first get there and through out my trip they have organized activities. Also at this home base they post all job and accommodation lists. It will also be providing me with 2 nights accommodation at a hostile, free internet at there home base and a mail holding. So really nice and easy for my first big trip away from home,

Now if you know me at all... I have horrible spelling. So my apologies but I'm sure you will be able to still guess the words (I'm not that bad). As well I have never written anything like this so don't have any high standards, but I will do my best.

I am traveling with my Ipod touch so I will be able to access the internet through WiFi and as well as hostels. So send me emails or facebook me. I also have skype! Feel Free to add me: jessicajanemcdonald if I am using my Ipod for Skype you wont be able to see me because I don't have a camera on it but you will be able to hear my lovely voice and I will be able to see your pretty face :D So it all works out.

I am going to miss everyone so much, but I will do my best to keep in contact. LOVE YOU ALL!
