hey guys
 ugggghhh lets not mention cheap flights!! we had booked and paid for our flights, and then V australia brought out flights that would have saved us $3000!! i literally cried when i saw their prices. ANYWAY. moving on, money is money...we're there no matter what, so i'll just be grateful for having the opportunity for this trip. we're in NY one day before this tour starts, and then 4 days after it finishes. not sure what we're going to be doing yet! we haven't booked other accommodation as yet (watching the AU v U.S dollar fall fall fall, then up a cent, woohoo, 70c as of this morning! lol); but i'm definitely looking forward in meeting you both there |
