I’m really hoping I survive! I’ve stuck to a budget but I’m still behind on the amount of money I was hoping I’d have saved for this trip. That just means I’m going to have to be even MORE careful on what I spend while I’m away.

I’ll be camping in Melbourne and possibly camping in Sydney. Real camping, like in a tent!!! I’ve never camped before! Not to mention, camping in AUSTRALIA! where there are 1500 species of spiders (I don’t want to be eating no spiders in my sleep!) and the last time I was in Oz, there was a huge hairy spider the size of my fist chillaxin’ in a boutique as the boutique’s pet!

I feel a lot of pressure because I was given the task to plan everything and secure places for us to stay (which, has sort of failed as a lot of our hosts have had to bail out last minute) and so I wanted to share with you some of the resources I’ve used:

1. 6 Tips to Beat Jet Lag
2. 7 Tips for Enjoying a Small Town Stopover (we are going to be stopping for some overnight trips outside of our hubs of Sydney & Melbourne)
3. How to Keep your Backpack Safe (I’m not actually backpacking but close..)
4. How to have a frugal vacation but still treat yourself (I follow a lot of the same rules even when I’m at home)..you don’t think I’m going to try to find FREE events in Sydney/Melbourne on this trip??! haha Gonna crash from partaysss

I have a lot of work to do while I’m in Oz, but I’ve decided to keep my laptop at home because I don’t want it to get damaged, or stolen or broken in any way (especially now that we’re camping). I’ll bring an external harddrive instead and use my PDA (gonna check to see if it’ll work overseas). I only have 3 days left to finish ALL my friggin’ work..really nervewrecking.. I have a lot of work left to do! I have a tour RIGHT after this ya know so it is kind of hectic.

Off to bed, early wake up call tomorrow & fun with my gals!
