Hello friends! Let's first start off with saying that my friend Kyra and I are moving to AUSTRALIA on a Work & Holiday Visa! We are going to be living there for a year experiencing new things, get jobs and meeting some great people. This blog will be my adventures and experiences over the year. I will add photos and videos to the page as well so look forward to those hahaha. 

To start off getting dropped off at DIA was a tear jerk-er and I teared up saying goodbye to my mom and grandma. But the really fun part came when I had to check my GIANT bag in! The weight limit for check in bags are 50lbs; my bag was at 57lbs! If I wanted to pay the overweight fee it was going to be $200.00, ummm hell no!! Thank goodness Kyra was next to me and had room for my jeans and shoes in her carry on bag :) Thanks Kyra. 

I am sitting in the LAX airport waiting for the plane to arrive; always an exciting time. The plane ride from LAX to Sydney is 15hrs!!! I hope they have some great movies to watch and that I can sleep for longer than 3hrs :) Before we went into the terminal my aunt Tama took us to a great restaurant across the street called The Encounter. Very interesting place, looks "spacey" inside and the elevator has some wonderful 60's dance music! Quick shout out to Tama again for taking us to our last dinner in the US for a year!! 

Well today isn't that exciting just lots of sitting and waiting but stay tuned for a fun video of Kyra and I leaving the states and entering in Australia!
