Cairns!
Orientation for Australearn
05.02.2007
Hey Everyone!
I arrived in Cairns, Australia, yesterday around 2pm. The flights weren't as bad as I thought they would be. I listened to my IPOD and slept most of the time. The hardest part of flying was trying to carry all my luggage by myself. It was a pretty big workout. My orientation group of about 80 people were picked up from the airport and transferred to Gilligan's backpackers hotel about 10 minutes away. You can walk to the beach/ocean, which we will be heading tomorrow for a trip to the Great Barrier Reef on a Catamaran Sailbot. But today....we get to go to the zoo and feed a kangaroo and pet a koala, along with seeing all of Australia's other crazy animals. Then we are eating lunch and going to a Aboriginal Park. Hmmm...what else? It's really humid here and kind of rainy, but much nicer than snowy Chicago. I'm off to eat breakfast before we head out for the day.
Oh, and last night I did the world's smallest bungy jump. haha.
Later gators,
Amy

Hi Amy. This is cool. Sounds like an awesome time - so many adventures and new things already!. what do you mean by smallest bungy jump? The kind that we know of or just a joke? Sounds like you're doing good. We miss you lots. Love Mom & Dad.
