Australia Trip    [ Travel ]

On to the main event ... 1 month of travel in Australia featuring Melbourne (pronounced Melbun), Hatch & Jane, the Great Ocean Road, the Grampians, Adelaide, Damo & the Adventure Tours gang, Uluru, King's Canyon, Coober Pedy, Parachilna, 2200 miles of nothing, and Perth.

I find it a bit amusing that I barely consider this trip "travelling" because if its short length, however almost nobody that I know at home goes on trips longer than 2 weeks ... :)

So this time it was just me, Chels, and Jacks bummin' around Australia with some rucksacks. We saw tons of great sites and met so many great people ... special love to Hatch&Jane, Rachel, Sue, Helle, Martin, Ulrich(spelling?), Anna, Sally, Jemma, Sabina, Jean-marc, Liza, Sarah, Bert, Damo, Tiffany, Amy, and good 'ol Dr. Bala.

Such a blast, can't wait to do it again. Isn't travel the greatest?

Traveling is the greatest the exploration of a culture is like a spiritual enlightenment. Sometimes it makes you appreciate what you have and other times it makes you understand your place in the world and helps you to grow.

I couldn't agree more. To me it seems as if there is a realization about the vastness of the world that can only come from travel.

Luckily, I have enjoyed many privileges in my life, but I covet my travels above all else.
