Because of all that stress, I gladly stayed at home this weekend, only leaving my apartment to take the dog to a dog park and go grocery shopping. It was great. In addition, I also got closer to finalizing an Australia itinerary!
I'm heading "down under" for three weeks - two for work and one on my own. I'll have two days in Melbourne and three in Sydney. Not enough! Here's what I've narrowed it down to so far:
Phillip's Island to see penguins in the wild, Gaol (an old prison) for a ghost tour, a scenic trip on Great Ocean Road, and the architecture of the city. I have to decide between the penguins and costal drive still.
The sights of Sydney including The Opera House, famous surfing beaches Manly and Bondi, and a full day experiencing the nature of the Blue Mountains.
Hopefully I'll book the tours today or tomorrow! I can't wait to get everything set in stone.

I think its's so exciting that you are coming to Australia. You have chosen some great things to do. Too bad you aren't coming to Brisbane but you will have a great time :)
I'm still so happy that you're getting the chance to go to Australia! Sounds like you have an awesome itinerary, you're going to have such a blast over there!
The Gaol tour sounds wonderful!!
I will definitely have to check these out aat some point in the next couple of years!
How exciting!! I want to visit Australia one day! Cannot wait to read all about your adventures.
We saw the penguins at Phillips Island when I was there years ago - you get a coastal tour of sorts just by driving there, so I'd vote for the penguins :)
You do have a lot going on! Don't worry, we all forgive you ;)
Aw totally understandable! Hope you're fully recovered from your root canals ;(
I just studied all weekend and watched football so didn't do anything exciting.
You are going to have so much fun in australia!

That is just so cool! I'm so excited for you! :)
You will figure out how to cram a lot of sightseeing into those few days you have to yourself. I am so insanely jealous of your trip. I'll just be at home trying to pack up a household with a crawling baby and a husband who's practically useless when it comes to manual labor!
Wow this trip sounds amazinggg!!! How awesome!! Good luck with the rest of the planning!
OF COURSE you are making an itinirary! What kind of penguins?? I expect photos. Also, do they have groupons in Aus?

You're going to have so much fun! I went a couple of summers ago and it has become one of my favorite places.
Staying home sounds like a great weekend!! That is going to an amazing trip!! I have always wanted to visit there.
Such a tough choice between Phillip Island and the Great Ocean Road. I really loved both but I know you don't have time to do both this trip. Guess we just have to do a trip together one day!
I think you've been doing great at commenting :).
