  1. Australia is such an incredible place! So diverse, so unique. I loved my visit there 10 years ago. Would love to get back there one day and see Uluru.

    1. Yeah. It would be near the top of my list if I could afford it.

    2. The ONLY reason I was able to go was because I had 33 teenagers in tow. Chaperoning is basically working, so my compensation was a free trip. It was worth it though.

  2. Australia is on my must-visit list, even though it’s expensive and involves many hours of sitting on a plane. I’ve also heard there are giant spiders there. Giant spiders are not okay with me . . .

    1. I'm not a fan of giant spiders either.

      Now that you have your advanced degrees you should look into the public speaking circuit - get expense-paid trips for delivering speeches at conferences and such.

    1. There's plenty of coastline for people who like to fish. Not sure if they let you bring them back to the U.S. though.
