Goodbye/Hello

This is it- in less than 24 hours I'll be on a plane out of Australia. This is my 50th post, out of 100 days in the country, which isn't too bad I think.

I've spent these last few days seeing Sydney, since I missed it the first time around. I took a ferry to the beach suburb of Manly and got lots of great photos of the Opera House. I've sat in parks and read books, I've gone to the movies every night I've been here (saw Priceless, The Namesake, and Becoming Jane- all movies that I know C.J. wouldn't be annoyed at me for seeing without him!). I've also bought my last souvenir. I think I finally have something for everyone. I also did my laundry and have almost finished packing my bags. I almost can't believe that I'm going.

I have a feeling that once I get home this whole trip will seem like a strange dream, an interruption in the course of my life- and since no one has completely shared it with me, in a way it will be easy for it to fade out and be forgotten. To combat this, I'm already trying my hardest to keep in touch with the friends I've made. And of course, I'll be reliving the whole trip in photos- I have hundreds, maybe thousands, to show anyone who dares to come visit me in NY! I'm really looking forward to seeing familar faces again. So goodbye to the blog and hello to everyone very soon!

Love,
Emma
