Helllllllllllllllllllllo Melbourne

Loving it already. Maybe it's the wine talking?

YES. I SAID WINE.

I finally got a flight from Sydney to Melbourne at 6:30pm. Exactly 5.5 hours after what I was initially supposed to fly out. It's all good because of two reasons:

1. I got free booze and a free dinner

2. I met an awesome Sydney guy.

We talked the entire flight and just made fun of Aussie and American culture. No. Don't get excited. He's 35, married and has kids. Nuffin's going to happen.

But we had a freakin blast. Ate dinner, drank a few drinks (wine in the air is AWESOME!) and now I'm sitting here at the Melbourne airport happy as a clam. Are clams really that happy? And why? That's such a stupid phrase.

Anyway. Before I left, I was reading the Lonely Planet guide to Australia. And I came across this info:

Should I do it? It's expensive. Really expensive. But might be very cool. Or should I do what I had originally thought about -- either post a note on the board at the YHA or take a train down...I'll miss out on The Great Ocean Road if I go that route and I was told you can't really do the Great Ocean Road in one day.

NEED HELP.

Please provide advice. I count on you, people. YOU.

I'll tell ya about Melbourne tomorrow -- going out for drinks tonight. Wooo!
