So this is it.  Tonight was the big hurray before the end.  Although I don't officially leave Australia for another two weeks, I am leaving my friends tomorrow; I am leaving this temporary home.  It's sad.  Very sad.  I don't think I'm ready to leave.  

Tomorrow night Melissa, Jess and I head for brisbane.  We arrive at 10:30 p.m. will be spending the night in a 24 hour pancake house-our reason being: 1) we don't want to spend money on a hostel 2) it will be an adventure!  In the morning we will jet off to Adelaide to start our week long road trip to Sydney.  We've got plenty of things to see along the way.  I am confident it will be a week to remember!

I will then be flying to New Zealand for about 4 days.  Just enough time to see a little bit of the country I have heard SO much about!  After an exhausting couple of days of traveling alone, I will return to Brisbane--catch the bus home to Lismore to say one last farewell gather the rest of my bags and fly out of Brisbane the next day on the 24th.  I'm not sure how much I'll be able to update before I leave, if at all; a "pre-cap" will have to suffice.

Once again, I am so sad to have to say my goodbyes tomorrow.  I've decided once I get home I don't think it will feel like I was actually here.  It's just been such an unbelievable time.  Time has disappeared so quickly and it will take me some time to comprehend what actually just happened. 

Pray that I travel safely.
