Top Ten List

Here is the top ten list of things you learn when traveling to Australia!!

10. War of the Worlds is not the best DVD to watch when flying.
9. Indian spiced chicken in peas and rice is way better than it sounds.
8. In a budget cutting move Australia now uses monopoly money (pictures to come later).
7. iPods are awesome for traveling halfway around the world.
6. $4,000 extra for business class looks pretty cheap after spending 14 hours in the economy section.
5. Deodorant is not required by Qantas Airlines.
4. Quaker Oats Apple Crisp breakfast bars are the best thing since sliced bread.
3. Dallas airport staff can de-ice a plane in 15 minutes.
2. Right Guard deodorant works for 34 hours!!
1. Greeks bladders shrink to the size of a woman pregnant with octuplets when flying to Sydney.

Thanks for all of your prayers the past few days!! I am doing fine and working away here. I think some of the stuff I brought with me is going to allow me to make free phone calls so I will try to give everyone at some point (it worked from the Sydney airport, but I am having problems here.

Hey dude -
Glad to hear that you are getting along well. It snowed/ rained/sleeted here last night and all the schools are closed and the University is closed until noon. I have a MD apt and think I am going to go anyway because they say the interstates aren't bad. It stinks to have a snow day on my regular day off! Talk to you soon

I think I must be bad luck with snow...whenever I leave town during winter a big storm hits!
