Australia - Winter Break - 2008
We were lucky enough to head to Australia for winter break this year. Since this will be a fairly long trip, each day will have its own "journal" below. For now, all of the pages are finished... I'll be updating a bit later when we get the pictures back from the disposable camera. Also, the videos are taking me a LONG time to upload (and they will take a long time for you to download too), so they are not working yet. I'll update this page to let you know the videos are working.
