I love Couchsurfing!

Seriously.  I've found people to crash with in both Exmouth and Cairns.  This will make my trip SO much better, cause now I'll have people to show me around in most places i'm in, plus it will give me for money for party time, hahaha.

So my tentative plan below is going to work out it seems!

March 9 - leave Ottawa
March 11 - land in Melbourne
March 11-17 - stay in Melbourne, got a place to stay with Steves friend Matt.  Pudge's friend Danny is also here, and that dude I met on Caye Caulker will also probs be here.  Party time.
March 17 - fly to Perth (ticket already purchased!)
March 17-20 - stay in Perth with Lisa, who was one of my best friends while I was still in Toronto, she's already made me promise to make her pancakes every day, hahahahaha
March 20 - fly to Exmouth
March 20-27 - stay with some dude I found on couchsurfing.  Take the Open Water diving course. Hells yes.
March 27 -28 - make my way up to Cairns, likely stopping in Broome or something along the way
March 28 - arrive in Cairns.
March 28 -April 3- Stay with some dude I met on couchsurfing.  Hook up with Tom and Tara. Surf. Dive.  Hike around the rainforest.
April 4-April 13- Make my way down to Uluru/Alice Springs/Flinders Ranges, etc.  Hello outback!  Probs hostel/camp for all of this.
April 14-Head over to Sydney.  Possible hookup for a place through Steves friend Cat.  Also apparently some dude I may know from Pembroke lives there, may hook up with him.  Stay here about 4 days.  CHeck out Blue Mountains, etc.
April 18 - head back to Melbourne.  Party time.
April 20 - head back to Ottawa!

Three weeks!

In three weeks I leave, in three weeks and two days I land, hahaha!  So excited.  Realizing I'm totally fucking disorganized though, I still need to buy a backpack, hiking shoes, buy some plane tickets to fly around Australia, book my scuba course, book hostels,  hahahaha basically do everything?  Mebbe I should get on that.  Later!!!!
