First Day of School
Hey everyone,
Well, today was my first day of school...pretty exciting. So we made it to our apartment last Saturday and there were already some cockroaches living with us so that was a nice surprise. Just my luck. If anyone knows how much I hate bugs, I'm sure you're laughing right now. So school...we've been to the beach, shopping and that's about it. There are some fun bars around that we've been to. The uni is practically forcing alcohol on us--ha, glad to hear that huh dad? I've met some really cool people, Aussies and Americans. We had a free dinner at Underwater World and also went to the Zoo for free, Steve Irwins zoo that is. Michelle and I live with a local named Nic. He is only 17 and likes to make fun of Americans but other than that he is really nice. Having my own bathroom is awesome and bedroom for that matter. We have to watch out for toads, snakes and spiders when walking at night but other than that the bugs are ok. There are kangaroos all over campus too! I almost forgot about them. Walking by one on the way to class isn't a big deal anymore. I'll post my address too, not that I'm expecting mail but for those of you who want it.....57/8 Varsityview Court
Sippy Downs, QLD 4556
Australia
I miss you all and will try to get a picture or two posted. I would also love a comment once in a while, I like you hear back too. Well I have a dentist appointment in a bit (i'll keep you updated on the results--ha). See ya. Luv, hil

We made it to Sydney!
Hey everyone,
We are now in Sydney for a couple of days. After sleeping in the airport, we flew out early and arrived in Sydney safe and sound. We walked through the Botanic Gardens and checked out the Sydney Opera House. Just wanted to say hey and give a little update. Hope everyone is well.

New Zealand
Hey Everyone,
New Zealand is great! I wish we could spend more time here. We've met tons of great people on the Kiwi Experience bus. I've climbed the Franz Josef Glacier(pronounced gla-see-ier by everyone but americans), went Skydiving, and attempted to go to Milford Sound today. Skydiving was amazing, I'll post pics when I get to school. If you read this soon enough you can go to www.skydivenz.com and find our pics...we went on the 5th. Just don't laugh and by the way, they made us do the thumbs up. Because of our recent change of plans, I'll be in Sydney for a couple of days visiting friends. I should be at uni around the 14th or 15th. Will keep you posted. Hope everyone is well and enjoying themselves as much as I am, if that is possible. Love ya all, hilary
