As much as I have enjoyed my two months working at the local coffee shop, I am ready for an adventure.<\/p>\n
Most college students vacated my hometown about a month ago; needless to say, I can’t wait for a change. In just under one week, I will head into Chicago, not to visit Loyola (although I will miss it), but to leave on the very long flight from O’Hare to Melbourne International.<\/p>\n
Australia, here I come.<\/p>\n
Not so fast though. The flight consists of an eight-hour layover in San Francisco and another two-hour layover in Sydney. \u00a0So with the time difference, I am looking at over two days of travel. My fingers are crossed the flights will go smoothly though.<\/p>\n
I still don’t know what to expect upon arrival. \u00a0I, however, do know that I will be trading in all this snow for lots of Australian summer sun. \u00a0For now though, I should probably turn my focus to packing, fitting four months into two suitcases.<\/p>\n
Check back here about twice a week. I look forward to sharing my Australian adventures with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
