KathyK's Amazing Australia Adventure

[KathyK]

Hi All!

Goodness, it's been a while since I posted anything to OTChatter.  
For that matter, I haven't been playing on the Main List as much as 
I'd like to be.  Being busy is most unfun.  

I wanted to share with you my exciting news, which also happens to 
be the reason I've not been around much.  It's because I've been 
working very hard to save as much money as possible and to get 
myself all prepared.  And here's why--this is from a letter I wrote 
to my family and friends because I'm being tired and lazy:

"[My friend] and I are going to Australia. First, we're going to
Las Vegas to visit some cool friends who live out that way and from
there we'll be traveling to California to visit some other wonderful
folks. We leave for Australia at the very beginning of March. We
will be there until July on a working holiday visa.

"This mass email will be a one-time thing. I don't like sending
email to a whole mess of people. I've set up a livejournal to keep
people up on what's new with me. You can access that at:

"I'm still very new to all this fun computer stuff so the journal is
nice and simple right now. One day I'll learn how to make it look
snappy."

So...that's the plan.  I'm very excited and quite nervous.  Right 
now excitement is winning.  Once I set foot in an airport, though, 
nervous will surely take over.  Boy, do I hate airplanes!  Something 
about lack of control, I think.  We're hoping to use alcohol to 
combat the problem. <g> 

Anyhoo, I'll try and stop in and say, "howdy," when I get a chance.  
Thanks to everyone for all the great discussions I've read and 
participated in for the last... almost nine months.  Nine Months!  
Oh my!  It's been that long?  I still feel like I just got here.  
I hope to talk to you soon.

Oh! If anyone here actually *does* go visit the LJ and happens to 
read the comments to my one and only entry there, I just wanted to 
let you know when my friend calls me "KKK" she's referring to the 
initials of my name rather than any sort of organization.  No one's 
ever missed *that* distinction before...
