My Australia trip blog

[BigTwinky]

As some know, I'm off for a trip of a lifetime to Australia. Heading down for just under a month, leaving March 5th and returning March 27th.

As the next week is probably going to be just a weeee bit busy, I just want give you all the link to my wife Andrea's Australia travel blog. Its not mine, its her idea and she is maintaining it. For the old school CLRs, she was a regular during the UT:2k4 days under the name Ravenlark

Andrea's goal is to get it updated pretty much every day (depending on internet availability) with stories, pictures and / or videos! Its a work in pr...ogress, but I think its a great idea. Check it out often, subscribe to the feed and most of all, leave comments on the various posts!! This is going to be pretty much our only contact back home for the month.

Expect updates starting in the week of March 8th!

Not sure how many images of mine my wife will have up, I'm sure its going to be a few.

She is using her iPhone as her main media device, video and photo. Its kind of an experiment in technology and possibility for travellers.

Must take picture of toilets flowing backwards. MUST! It's black magic I tell you!

[BigTwinky]

lol, thats already our plans. but not the toilet, just the drains.

Toilets have jets that actually flush the water down, so it all depends on how the jets were positioned in the toilet. Some toilets here have jets that shoot the water down clockwise, others counter-clockwise.

So my goal is to use a standard sink drain and see which way the water goes down. Knowing my wife and her geekyness, she will be video taping it and it will be up on the blog

Take a video of which way it goes in the northern hemisphere and post it before leaving... as a control.

[BigTwinky]

Thats already planned

Be careful with data usage over here. If Iwant to use data on my phone its 20 dollars a Mb.

Let me know when you're in Sydney. I have a corporate mobile over here now too. I feel like a local already (caught myself going "F-ING tourists need to learn how to walk!")

She is turning off the phone communication and going to mainly use it for photo and video, to then upload on her laptop, update the blog and THEN connect to the net to update the blog.

I'll shoot you a pm when i'm there
