Figuring out how to blog

This Blogging stuff is new to me, so don't be surprised if Derek reports on most of our travels.  As of now, we both have one week left at work.  The boys seem to think they should also be finished school at the same time.  However, we have a few last minute things to get ready.  It's safe to say that all of us are super excited, some a tad more anxious than others, but needless to say looking forward to what this adventure holds.  As we each have our own must see/do lists made, the top of my list is to see those amazing animals in the wild, not in a zoo or in captivity, but seeing a koala just hanging out in an eucalyptus tree or a kangaroo and its' joey hopping by on the beach.  How fun!!! I'll pass on the sharks and the bungy zone but everything else is a go. Not to much longer before we are packed and on the plane.  Until then....
