I Made it!

I made it. It took forever to get here, but it happened!!! The plane ride wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it was still 14 hours on a flight. When we got here it was Tuesday. It's still weird to me that Monday never exisited. We are all SOOOO tired. We just got done eating dinner and I think we are all going to bed. It has been a long, but VERY GOOD day. We toured like all of downtown sydney and the harbor. We have the coolest bus driver. He is so funny and he teaches us all the lingo here in Aussie. Its like a whole different language. I'm getting to know the people in my group pretty well. We all seemed to get along pretty good....so far. :). Sydney is HUGE and there are people everywhere. The streets are so busy all the time and so small. We also went to the Sydney Aquarium, it was really cool seeing new animals. They are interesting, but the battery in my camera died so I only got half of them. We all got pictures with the Sydney bridge and the Opera house which is one of the most popular sites here in Australia. Our hotel rooms are SOO small. We all started laughing at them when we saw them. There are 3 people to a TINY room and there are three beds just shoved in there. You have to use your key card for everything. To use the elevator or LIFT and to turn on the lights. It took us 20 minutes to figure out how to do that. It was so funny. We were trying to switch it every which way and it just wasn't working. Sam they also call restrooms toilets here. I saw that and it made me think of you. Sorry if none of this makes since I am soo tired. Its like six in the morning there. And I have decided that there is NO WAY I could live in Australia because ranch does NOT exisit here! WHAT THE CRAP!!! No ranch. I know, I about had a heart attack. I will try to post pictures in a couple days. I already have lots, but I am just WAY too tired to do it now. Sorry its not very detailed. Love and miss you all lots!!!!

  2. This sucks that I am the only one not out the country this year. Adison will probably even go somewhere this year.

    I just decided I am going to Mexico when we are home for Christmas. And I'll start a blog about it. It'll be called "One day in Mexico."

    And pictures are more important than sleep! Why are you sleeping in AUSTRALIA anyways?

  5. Rannie, you can't get on other people's blogs and instruct them to force me into running a race of torture!
