The route

This is the story of our family's trip to Australia in March of 2008.

We leave from home (North Plains, Oregon, USA) in the afternoon on Saturday, March 8th and land in Sydney on the morning of March 10th. We return on March 28th, leaving Cairns early in the morning, flying to Sydney, then back to the US and arriving home in the afternoon the same day. Crossing the international date line causes us to loose a day on the way over, but gain a day back on the return flight.

We are also visiting Kangaroo Island and Adelaide in the south, Alice Springs in the Outback, and Cairns and Hinchinbrook Island at the Great Barrier Reef.

Here is a Google map showing where we will be visiting.

It is still 3 days until we leave, but we are already packing!
