17 more days until we fly out! And better yet 10 more days of work!! You beauty!
Aaron and I are house sitting at Brad and Hayleigh's place while they are in Europe for two months. They get back 9 days.. Cant wait. We are looking after their dog Betty. She peed in the bedroom two nights ago.. haha Aaron cant wait to be back home.
Mum and Dad are going to Florida next week to take advantage of the Aussie dollar being almost equal to the USD. Dad is going to buy a boat, Big Kahuna.. So Az and I are looking after little Brad :)
So we are pretty much sorted now. We have paid for our travel insurance and flights. We have packed our snowboard bag and have our winter gear sitting out in our bedroom ready to be stuffed into the backpacks. i dont have ANY warm clothes. I plan on buying them all when we arrive in Canada as then the clothes will be made for their winter.. theres nothing here in Darwin that would be suitable. So I need to get a jacket, boots, goggles, gloves and maybe more just because I can :) We also need to buy sheets and groceries for our accommodation on Panorama Mountain. We are waiting on an email from them advising what we will be staying in, i.e. a one bedroom apartment or a 4 bedroom or something like that. We asked for the four bedroom in our application as we are heading over there to meet people so sharing a place is a great start!
Other than that we are about to apply for our International Driving Permit just to be on the safe side. We plan on driving through America so if we ever get pulled over hopefully we have all the right documentation.
We just had some money changed over a couple weeks ago and it was awesome! We bought 2000 CAD and it cost us 2092 AUD! I am hoping the AUD will surpass the USD before we head off because we want to buy some more money. As we need to prove we both have 4000 AUD each when we arrive in Canada so we get our visa from the port of entry officer.
Cant wait! Next update will most likely be when we are packing or when we arrive in Canada!
PS i checked the weather and it was -5 degrees on our mountain! And there is still one month before winter actually starts!!!!! BBBRRRR!!!!!!!
