Newcastle (Part I)

I’ve had an obsession with Australia since I was a little kid.  Now, I’m not going to lie but watching Crocodile Dundee had everything to do with it up until I had the chance to meet some fantastic and amazing Australians.  In 2000, I wanted to work for the Olympics in Sydney but unfortunately had to remain in school as that was a sketchy time in my life as far as school was concerned.  I was in and out of classes.  Because I was out of school when the time came for the study abroad program too applications in time for the Olympics, I missed out.  When I left school and started working for the hostel/hotel in L.A.  I met an enormous influx of Australians who only made the pang of having not been there yet ache a bit more.  I decided to do something about that and November 18th, 2010 I hopped on a plane and headed to the land down under.  It looks like I will be here for at least a year and I want to share all my amazing experiences with whoever wants to share them.  Here are some pics from when we first arrived.  The 1st day was Sydney and the rest so far have been in Newcastle where we stayed with my good friend Kel and her amazingly beautiful family for a week.  Her dad George took us to Merriweather Beach at 5 am so we were able to get some great photos.   Enjoy!
