When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Well, life in South Florida has been giving me some pretty honkin' lemons lately, leaving me unemployed and single, so I'm going to take all those lemons Down Under and try to make some lemonade in the Southern hemisphere!

I've got a short-term working visa and a one-way ticket to Cairns, Australia. I don't have a job or friends in Cairns, but I plan on finding both. I'm hoping for a sweet job on a dive boat on the Great Barrier Reef, but I'll settle for a job in a restaurant if it'll pay the bills. I have an apartment for the first month, so that's a step in the right direction... I'm planning on staying until around March if things are going well!

I'm terrified, excited and a million more emotions, but most of them are positive. I think this will be a great adventure and a great opportunity to explore a new place, meet new people and try new things!

The bottom line is that I'm starting up this silly ol' blog again because I'm leaving in ONE WEEK. Hopefully I'll be filling this with entertaining stories, anecdotes of my ridiculous life and photos! Stay tuned, folks...
