We arrived in Melbourne at 8am this morning safe and sound. Since we've left Portland we've lost a day of our lives crossing the international date line, had a total stranger welcome us to Australia and proceed to give us her phone # offer to drive us around to run errands, got checked into our oddly shaped student housing apartment and fried our alarm clock because we don't have the right adapters, ate at a place called the Pinewood Chicken Bar (which was great by the way), bought weird stuff at the grocery store, and watched Aussie Rules Football on campus. Besides that is been a perfectly normal day.
All joking aside, we are here safe and sound, and surprisingly enough the flight went pretty quick all things considered. Tomorrow it's off to get phones and take the train into downtown for some real action.
Cheers,
Sweany

Glad to hear all went well. Just think, in two short years you'll regain that day you lost. Keep us informed on what you're up to and send pictures soon. We miss you guys already.

Its good to hear that you made it OK, and that its not so "different." Did you notice that you're blog dates are technically off? Stupid international date line. I've heard that its cold in Melbourne for this time of year. Looking forward to visiting.
I am so glad you made it safely! Missing you already but looking forward to keeping up with you via email and blog! Cheers, Mates! : )
