Byron Bay Pictures

Fish and Chips in the camper. A must-have when travelling in Oz.
Ice cream in Byron Bay. We walked around the town this evening, but tomorrow will be spent at the beach.
Marvin misses his computer.

Capernwray

This is the Capernwray campus where Marvin has been livingfor the past 9 months. The scenery is great, but it is in one of the coolest-climate regions of Australia. It's fall here in Oz. This is also on campus.

Port Macquarie Pictures

This was yesterday in Port Macquarie. We had lots of fun bodysurfing and being tossed around by the big waves.
This is our home for the next 3 and a half weeks. It's great!
Don't worry everyone, Jodi is not sunburned (yet)

Byron Bay

Hey everyone. We just wanted to give you all an update tonight, but we are at an internet cafe, so we will have to wait until tomorrow to post some pictures-- we have some good ones already! We left Sydney in our rented camper van with Marvin on Thurday and headed North. The temperature gets hotter and the beaches get better as we head North up the East Coast. We've seen some beautiful scenery along the way, and have ventured around Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, and now we are in Byron Bay. It's beautiful here (of course) and we will spend a few days here, enjoying the beaches and the hippie-town atmosphere.
Stay tuned for more pics tomorrow!

arrived

We've arrived in Oz! The flight was long, but not too bad. We are 17 hours ahead here, so jet lag is setting in pretty hard already. It's 3pm and we're TIRED! Marvin (Brian's little brother, for those of you who don't know) picked us up from the airport in Sydney and has already given us a tour of Capernwray school. We will be touring around Sydney tomorrow and then the next day we will be renting a camper and heading North where the weather is warmer and sandy beaches are abundant!
Here's a pic of Marvin, who now looks about 10 years older than he actually is. We're having a great time with him already, and he will be joining us for the first week of our travels.

and we have a blog!

Hey friends! So many of you have asked us to send pictures and update you while we are on our trip to Australia, so we figured we should really do this the 21st-century way by creating a blog. We are leaving on Monday, April 24 and will be returning on May 22. Stay tuned for pictures of Jodi looking grumpy during the 14-hour flight, Marvin with crazy bushman hair, followed by beautiful Australian scenery!
