Australia... FINALLY!

After 30 hours worth of flights, I finally made it to the "Land Down Under."  After clearing customs and they examined the dirt on my shoes, I took the shuttle to my hotel, the Colonial Club Resort.  I met a bunch of people and hung out by the pool all night.  I met some really great people.  If this night is any indication of the trip, it's going to be great!
