In the Perth Airport
I’ve been in Australia for an entire week and haven’t yet blogged anything! Usually I’d blog from the airport while I wait to leave on a trip, but when I was in the Vancouver airport waiting for my flight to Perth, by way of Hong Kong, I was frantically trying to get a reference letter done for a colleague and also had a slew of other work to do ((E.g., lecture notes and slides for my course, putting together a CV for thing I’m applying for (Not a new job, in case you were wondering), etc.)) Preparing to go away for 2.5 weeks takes *a lot* of work – you basically have to do all the work you would have done during the 2.5 weeks before you leave. Hence, no blog posting.
Now I’m in the Perth airport – having completed the first part of the trip: a conference ((Which was awesome!)), plus a few days of seeing the sites in and around Perth ((Also awesome. I’ll blog about it all in more detail later.)), I’m now waiting for a flight to Byron Bay, by way of Sydney. It’s 11:15 pm Perth time as I write this, which means it’s only 8:15 am back home in Vancouver. It’s very strange to have lived a whole day when everyone back home is only just starting their day. We’ll fly through the night, then have a few hours layover in Sydney, followed by a flight to Ballina airport. Then I’ll get to try my hand at driving on the opposite side of the road than I’m used to. Wish me luck!
My flight is boarding, so I gotta go! See you on da flip side.
Hope you’re having a great time! Can’t wait to see pictures. Living in Japan, we have a 13 hour difference between here and where we used to live. It is indeed very, very weird. So is driving on the wrong side of the road. Good luck with that!
