My green flip-flops :)
The departure date has snuck up and we are now less than 2 weeks from when we board our plane to a wonderful world of beaches, accents, and new people to meet!
Yesterday I picked out some "necessities" for the trip, and I couldn't be more excited about them- plus, I was lucky enough that my mom purchased everything as a late graduation gift :)
I am now the proud owner of a green Patagonia day pack, green Patagonia flip-flops, and a pair of 5Fingers "shoes"! I'm really excited to try them out and I'm planning on wearing them just about everywhere to break them in before we go- if you haven't seen these frog-feet lookin' things before, you really should check them out. I'll post up some pictures of my new stuff soon.
Also, I now have a loose itinerary of Kacey's and my trip that we came up with after a lot of research and collaboration. Like I said, this is a loose itinerary and I'm sure most of it will change before the trips over, but this is at least our guideline: 
Arrive in Sydney on the 14th.
Sydney the 15th, 16th, and 17th.
Travel to Brisbane on the 18th.
Brisbane the 19th and 20th.
Spend a day and night in Byron Bay on the 21st.
Travel to Cairns the 22nd and 23rd.
Cairns the 24th- the Great Barrier Reef/Rainforest trip the 25th, 26th, and 27th.
Fly out of Cairns to Melbourne on the 28th.
Melbourne the 29th and 30th.
Travel back to Sydney the 31st.
One last day in Sydney on the 1st...
and we Depart for Cincinnati on the 2nd!!!
It is a very packed schedule so the most important thing to me right now is making sure that we get to spend enough time where we want :)
I'll try to keep y'all updated on when I make new posts- there may not be another until we actually get on our way, so wish us luck!!!
