The Journey Down Under

Home

Well I have officially arrived and settled into Australia and it was quite the journey. I left Charlotte Monday night and arrived in Brsibane Wednesday morning. I know, it's a little confusing. Everything went pretty smoothly save a little confusion in the most giant airport, LAX. However that was where I met a guy also coming to YWAM so we traveled the duration of the trip together.


Upon arrival we were given a quick tour of the base then it was time for lunch. After lunch I was basically ready to hit the bed, however that was not an option considering my friend, jet lag. So what to do? A trip to Target! The base is in walking distance to a ton of awesome stores and eateries, which is so fun. Both days I have been here we have taken a walk to the mall or various street stores. After dinner I was finally able to call it a day. Or maybe night. By this point I had no clue which it was. I have never slept better in my life.

It is such a dream world right now becuase we do not actually start orientation untill tomorrow so for now my day to day consists of eating meals prepared for me and shopping. I know right? THE LIFE. Not to metion all of this is in the middle of beautiful Australia. I'll catch up with you later when things start to really get interesting. For now here are some photos to keep you entertained and to spark your jealousy...

Lovely courtyard for eating and gatherings
