D - 8

First off, Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Secondly, one week remains until it's time for me to be carried off the Wisconsin frozen tundra to Australia: The Land Down Under.

It's amazing to think that I will travel half-way across the world (9,689 mi) in 25 hours travel time with no substantial exertion on my part. Science rules, once again. The plan is to drive down to O'Hare next week Monday to catch my flight at 5:30 pm, layover at LAX, layover again in Aukland, and then arrive in Brisbane at 9:55 am on Wednesday the 24th. Sounds simple enough, right?

8 days seems so long to me right now, but I'm sure it will go by quickly. I've still go things to do; eat, watch movies, pack, wait, and then wait some more. Life is hard these days, what can I say? I've done the SCUBA training, filed my taxes, enrolled for my classes (I got all the one's that I needed!), contacted the US State's department, contacted my credit card company, arranged for UQ to pick me up at the airport, completed all the forms for UW, and made copies of important documents (passport, prescriptions, birth certificate). Am I missing anything?
