Awesome! I will love watching your blog as you vacation. Don't forget to look into the night sky while in Australia. You'll see constellations not visible up here, like the "southern cross". Look forward to the updates.

This is a great idea guys. I think Jen and I may give it a shot. At the very least it is an easy way to keep in contact with friends and family elsewhere. I wish we had done this for our month in Italy or studying abroad. Anyway, have fun and be safe.
Also, if either of you are looking for reading material on the long flight or to just have around for the spare moment, you should check out almost anything by travel writer Bill Bryson. I have read all his books and they are hilarious. Very easy to read bits at a time. He wrote a book especially about Australia "In a Sunburned Country"
Oh, and what happened to Katie's picture?
