Almost there!

Hi Everyone! Two weeks to go til we leave for Japan and time for another blog entry - just to update you on our plans. We leave at 6am on Thursday March 6th (thank you to Ross' dad for driving us all the way to Avalon at such a ridiculous hour!) and we head to Osaka, via Sydney. We now have our apartment organised and a real, honest to goodness Japanese mailing address - v. exciting. If you're interested, we found ourselves on google maps - check out this link: http://diddlefinger.com/m/osakafu/osakashi/428114/?ll=34.726729,135.484600&z=14&t=m&ch=2-2-9+ We also located our roof (which Ross seems to think is less shiny than the other roofs in our neighbourhood) If you'd like our address (to send us lovely snail mail packages of deodorant and cadbury chocolate), please email us and if we know you we'll pass it on! We've been relaxing and catching up on well earned rest after our really busy summer working on Phillip Island. Our plans and packing seem to be finally taking shape and we are getting REALLY excited. We know we'll miss everyone but we are so excited about our trip! I have started a 'Blue List' (my list of things I really want to see in the days after we arrive). We have about six days of freedom before our training period begins. OK, that should do it for now..... here's a photo of our local 7-11!
