Travel Planning!

Today I finally got to sleep in! It was wonderful! I only ended up sleeping until about 9:30 but hey, it was better than having to get up early. Went for a run, and discovered this beautiful boardwalk that goes by the ocean for quite some time! The views were amazing, I still can't believe I am LIVING HERE!

My friends Ashton and Danielle then came over and we started looking at some trips that we wanted to put together. Ashton and I don't have class this week so we have a free week so we figured we would do some traveling! Why not!? We ended going over to Backpackers World Travel and they helped us book our trip! We are going to Fraser Island for a 3 day, 2 night guided tour and we are also spending 2 or 3 days on the Gold Coast relaxing on the beaches and stuff. We leave Monday!!!! I am not taking my computer with me, so unfortunately you guys will have to wait awhile to hear from me and see the next set of pictures. I am super excited to be doing that!!! After checking out all of the things at BAckpackers World, I realized there are so many different places that I want to go to, I don't think I'm going to have the time to see all places. Unfortunately I have class 5 days a week too so I won't have long weekends to travel (most people have at least 1 free day... but welcome to being a science major where you have no time haha) but oh well. I will get as many places I can, and the adventure begins Monday!

We had to run around town a bit trying to get that whole trip sorted out and so we ended up missing Harry Potter that we had planned on going to. :( Oh well! BUT we ended up trying Australian McDonalds and it tastes SOOOO much better than McDonalds does in the states! The beef is DELICIOUS (they even advertise that it's Aussie beef), everything in general is less greasy and much better quality. It was neat to be able to test it and see the differences.

We decided to just hang out at my apartment (which I LOVE) and watch a movie and relax tonight. We were all so tired from running around all week that it was nice to just relax for a couple of hours as that has not really happened yet!

Please leave me comments, I love to hear from everyone!
