Week One: September 25

Good Bye Boston, Hello Sydney

All packed and ready to go! The weeks leading up to my departure included many teary eyed goodbyes and repacking of my suitcases. I managed to pack three checked bags, one carry-on and a backpack, which totaled over 200 pounds thanks to the vacuum bags.

Two flights, a couple (very good) dinners, and 24 hours later... I arrived in Sydney. After a very chaotic trek through immigration with my four suitcases and backpack, I was greeted outside of the airport by my new roommates, who I had yet to meet in person.

Watched my roommate play in her netball league, and attempted to understand the rules of the game...

Made a few new friends, all thanks to Facebook!

Visited new beaches (Cronulla & Maroubra) and an old favorite (Coogee). The kids have been on school holiday for the past two weeks, so the beaches have been busier than usual on the weekdays.
