Aeroplanes

NOTE: This is my last blog on this post, as I will be transferring over to the Australia blog once I land. Link is at the bottom.

Flying is fun when you go from point A to point B in as little time as possible. But when those two points are 8000 miles away it can be a pain. All in the all 27 hours total traveling and 18 give or take in the air. So pretty successful venture!

Staying at the Surf n Sun Backpackers hostel in Surfer's Paradise. Just seconds away from the beach which is nice. However, I have noticed SP is a bit of a ways from Bond University. So I am reconsidering living there, at least for the first semester.



The University itself is extremely nice. A bit smaller then WSU, but as a private university I wasn't expecting it to be enormously huge. State of the art everything as well as a quad (one thing we never had at WSU). Still working on housing at the moment, so until then I'm homeless in a hostel! Anyways, check out the vids as well as my Facebook profile to see all the pics and vids (I'll also post the video blogs up here too). Classes start Monday!

Here is the link to my other blog now that I am IN Australia:

Vlogs

Currently stranded at San Francisco International airport waiting for my 2100 flight to Auckland. So while I wait...

...I have taken up something that one of my favorite radio personalities has done. Although the term was not coined by him, I have begun to use the same format as BJ Shea from BJ Shea in the morning on 99.9 KISW Seattle. Called vlogs (video blogs), this showcases quick clips that I can narrate instead of otherwise writing. As most of you are aware, I do like to use my phone a lot with plenty of pics and vids! So enjoy!

Also stopped by the bookstore and picked up something to read to help pass the time. The book is called "In the President's Secret Service: Behind the scenes with agents in the line of fire and the presidents they protect". Looks very interesting. Also heard an announcer say they had first class seats still available for $113 to China. DAMN! I hope they have something for Auckland....

Cheers!
