Only 5 days to go until the flight. I have to admit, the last few days seem to go reasonably fast - I had expected the time to go much slower; maybe it's because I am back at work instead of being on vacation at home twiddling my thumbs.
Besides, I really have absolutely no reason to complain about the time frame, on the contrary: Despite having had some vague desire to go to Australia for several years, I only made concrete plans to move down under in late April this year (almost exactly on my birthday, go figure), which makes the total time from first plan to final move about 3 months; other people have been trying for years (I have read about some people waiting as long as 4 years to get their Visa). Of course it helps that I have already signed a contract with the Australian subsidiary of the major corporation I am currently working for and have been working for for over 10 years, and that my new supervisor is somebody I have already worked with for several years in the past, but still - 3 months as opposed to (up to) 4 years? Yeah, really no room for any complaints.
All arrangements are made (as far as I can tell, hope I didn't forget anything), and I can't wait to board my flight this coming weekend - Total trip time (including layovers): 29 (!!) hours - I better use every opportunity to charge my MP3-player, otherwise it could get very long ;-)
And Chris, if you are reading this (you know who you are): Update your blog for cryin' out loud - I want to see pictures!! :-p
