First of all welcome to our blog and our very first entry! We’re going to do our best to keep you all updated on the progress of our trip and we hope that you’ll travel along with us. Feel free to drop a comment at any point along the way.
Well it’s 10:35 PM on September 15, 2008 at Pearson International Airport and we have exactly 1 hour until we board our flight to Hong Kong. We just finished having a pint or two with my parents, Allana and Shannon and are now officially on our own after successfully going through security - minus one tube of toothpaste! We’re definitely getting excited now and are preparing ourselves for the 7 hour flight to Anchorage Alaska. We’ll then be flying to Hong Kong which will arrive at 6:30 AM local time only a mere 11 hours later, total flight time approximately 18 hours! The plan is to get our bearings in Hong Kong and decide whether we should stay in the airport for the 9 hours before our flight to Perth or too be adventurous and explore Hong Kong. Anyways we’ll save that for another entry, as for now we have to board our flight. Next time you read our blog we’ll be in Perth!

Always remember to check your wallet as you are now surrounded by penal colonists who are notorious for their "light fingers" HA! I kid, I kid. You will have so much to see and do there its going to be a great experience for you.
In closing I warn you about the dingos, they appearently eat babies.
