Going To Australia

This guest post from Mickey Garza

A close friend of mine lives in Australia. I have not seen her in years and years. We were best friends all through high school and lost touch after she moved back to Australia. While watching my tv satellite I got the idea to take a trip to Australia to see her. Why not? I had never been there before and she was newly married and had a new baby. Plus, I had not seen her older son since he was born fourteen years ago. I started planning my trip. I was going to have to fly and I don't like flying, so I knew I needed to take as direct of a flight as possible. Also, because it would a long flight and the time difference was going to cause serious jet lag. I needed to get to LA and then on to Sydney where she lives in Sydney. I knew it would be costly as well and I needed to start saving. But, once there it was well worth the coast. Getting to see her, spending time with her family and going everywhere in Sydney, a place I have never been, was exciting and fun. It was one of my best trips ever.
