We head for Australia 3 weeks from today.  By this time 3 weeks from now we will be sitting in the DFW airport waiting for our 16 hour flight.  I can't wait!

Rather than posting a trip report via Fodors.com which is what I have always done in the past, I'm thinking about blogging instead.  I've never blogged before, and know nothing about it, so this is a trial balloon.

This will be our third trip to Australia, and our longest yet.  Getting 4 weeks off of work at one time took a lot of doing, and I am sure they won't allow it again so we need to make the most of it.

What do we do?  My husband is an avid birdwatcher, so that consumes a lot of our time.  We are primarily interested in the natural wonders of Australia.  So, birdwatching, bushwalking, snorkeling and seeking out native Australian critters.

I also have a good friend in Sydney, so we will head down there for our last week of vacation, and will be there over New Year's Eve, which is pretty exciting.

All right, let's publish this and see what happens!
