15 days to go!

Tonight, I'm back on my blog to relate my trip to the other side of our planet; aka down under. My plan is to visit New Zealand pretty extensively but to start with a little sidestep to Melbourne to visit friends and to do a summary introduction to Oz.
I'll either post my pictures here or put links to Picasa as it goes.
BTW, I have this theory about the Wizard of Oz. I think it was written as an expression of anti-Australian feelings that were ongoing in the States in those days. Oz as a mysterious yet hostile country where nice and cute little American girl where in danger but where they could save some lost souls. Like true heroes.
I've booked my tickets and bought Lonely Planet guides for NZ and for Tramping NZ. That's about it. More to come soon.
