Feeling accomplished!

Well 2012's Sasquatch Music Festival is done and over with and of course like every other year it was the time of our lives! Amazing music, beautiful scenery, great friends and new memories. We met up with our Canadian friends that were our neighbors last year so we could camp together again and met some new friends to add to our crew. Can't wait for next year! 

Now that Australia is the next "vacation" we go on the planning is in full force again and we have accomplished quite a bit this last week! We've got 2 new backpacks on the way (bigger, better quality and lighter) as well as a new lightweight sleeping bag for me, 2 lightweight camp stove burners and a trek towel (kind of like a shazaam towel that is light but soaks up a lot of water). I bought us some biodegradable camp soap for while we're out and about, traded some clothes I didn't want anymore at a clothing swap in the park for a few lightweight tops PERFECT for the trip and made another purchase maybe only females would care about but actually provides a lot of relief for something that could have been a lot more of a hassle a few times throughout the trip. If you're really curious about a greener/hassle free way to deal with "Aunt flow" click here but you have been warned. I only include this personal info for anyone who may benefit as I did not really know anything about this product until searching for information and have heard nothing but great things about it.

On a different note, planning our trip to Ayer's rock is a little frustrating only because of the cost. There is no "cheap" way to get there unless you want to hitch hike. So renting a car will have to be the way we go! That trip alone (basically done in 48 hours) will cost us ~$600 or more. But who could miss this?

84 days and 14 hours until we leave for Australia
