So Mike and I are leaving tomorrow morning for Oz. We're both playing in the World Frisbee Championships in Perth (west-side) for the first whole week, then...adventure awaits.

We'll be hanging out and camping with Claire and Whit, our favorite long distance frisbee friends, after Worlds. The plan is to head north of Perth, then head back south to hang out with some of my teammates in the wine country. La-dee-dah! We hereby promise to post updates as much as our technologically inept selves can manage. If anything just to let you all know we have not, in fact, been eaten by a ravenous dingo.

Family and friends: I love you all and while I am sad to leave Austin and will miss you all dearly, I am excited to fulfill this lifelong dream of mine...and happy to be doing it with a person that I love so much. Weee!

Lots of love,
Cara

Itinerary!!!

Cara and I bought our tickets through STA travel. They were very helpful and found us reasonable tickets with a great timeline. Here is when we will be traveling.

Leave Houston 11/7/06 at 7:40 a.m.
Arrive Sydney 11/9/06 at 7:50 a.m.**
**We lose a day...crazy.
Arrive Perth at 3:20 p.m.

We'll arrive in Perth on Thursday giving us a few days to fight through the travel lag before games begin on Sunday.

Our return itinerary is set for June 1st, but we have the option of changing this flight with a fee. Maybe we'll stay a little longer. :-)

With our initial travel plans set this trip is starting to really feel like it's happening.

Things are finally coming together! Mike ("Tank") and I are leaving for Australia/New Zealand in early November, and we'll be staying for a while...how long, nobody knows. Ultimate Frisbee World's (http://www.wucc2006.org/) are being held in Perth, Australia and that's where we'll begin our travels. We'll be using this blog to keep in contact with friends/family since phones will be hard to come by and expensive, so make sure to check in here to see what we're up to.
