We have tickets!

Since I have already sent out the blog site to people for this second trip, I thought I would update you with our only two updates so far...

#1 We have tickets! We're leaving Toronto Wednesday September 1st in the evening, and flying "direct" to Sydney with a 1.5 hour stop in Vancouver (we may... or may not be allowed off the plane... please pray for yes, for a little walking exercise if nothing else!) The bad news is that we lose a day again when we cross the international date line. Only this time we'll be getting it back since we won't fly home through Europe. ;)

#2 We now know where we're staying! It's a serviced-apartment (aka hotel/long term stay apartments) called Quest Wollongong http://www.questwollongong.com.au/

We'll have a one bedroom apartment just 5 minutes from the beach. DEAL! It's really central - as in mall, bus terminal, train station, church, groceries, beach (and my work) all within 5 - 10 minutes walk. We can't wait! AND best of all it has AIR CONDITIONING! We all know how Liz likes to sleep in an igloo :) (like a true Canuck)

So that's it! We're celebrating our last 24 hours in town with a cleaning frenzy and some friends coming to help us out - Jackie offered to vacuum, I swear! :p but really, we love you guys! Here's a group shot of a few of our friendly helpers (minus Nicole, who I already know before posting this will say "I would clean for you!!!") we love you too. :)

PS thanks to the six of you who came out tonight to help us clean and pack up! You guys are awesome!

...We'll be in Wollongong by Thursday evening Toronto time.


...stay tuned for more posts...
