In the land of Oz: Where are the Tassy Devils?
http://jamiedandrea.blogspot.com/2009/04/where-are-them-damn-tassy-devils.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2009. Where are the Tassy Devils? You might be surprised to learn that Tasmania is a real place. You might be even more surprised to learn that it is not it's own country but an Australian state. I skipped the expensive ferry journey to Tasmania and opted for an $85 AUD flight. (That's like $55 USD! The girl and guy who picked us up had just come from a place called Florentine. Where people were living " in trees. Why don't I remember? In the morning with fingers crossed, I checked at...

In the land of Oz: April 2009
http://jamiedandrea.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 25, 2009. Drive on the left in Australia. I'm thinking about not shaving my legs until I get home in 6 weeks. My leg hair grows at the speed of light anyway, so I'd have to shave everyday to truly be hairless. Plus it’s torture on the skin since I’m continually slicing off the mosquito or bed bug bite of the day. When I'm tan it's not tooo noticable anyway. I think. More on Great Ocean Road). Two thirds of the way along the Great Ocean Road are The Twelve Apostles. Is known for its 2 crat...

In the land of Oz: You need real shoes. Like heels.
http://jamiedandrea.blogspot.com/2008/12/you-need-real-shoes-like-heels_16.html
Tuesday, December 16, 2008. You need real shoes. Like heels. Of course it shouldn't surprise you that I am enfatuated with the efficiency the night bus provides. It saves not only on the cost of accommidation for the night but also on usuable daytime hours that would otherwise be spent sitting on a bus. And there is the added bonus of getting to check out the crazies who decide that 2:37 am is great time to board a Greyhound bus in places with names like Woolgoolga. On the top of my lungs. Now pictur...

In the land of Oz: November 2008
http://jamiedandrea.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 29, 2008. As I was packing up my stuff to leave Byron Bay on November 8, the most common response I received from those who learned about my looming departure was "why? Cooking in the kitchen at the Arts Factory. I remetup (is that a word? Sunday nights when the fat lady sings at the Beach Hotel, bacon cheese hamburger night with the boys, rainy afternoon movie time on the porch of Ben's tent, the 24 hour (meat) pie shop, the drum circle and whatever other craziness was going on. Throu...

In the land of Oz: Can we frolic with the lambs?
http://jamiedandrea.blogspot.com/2009/01/can-we-frolic-with-lambs.html
Monday, January 26, 2009. Can we frolic with the lambs? Our group consisted of 43 travelers; 9 guys, 34 girls, 2 couples on their honeymoons, 25 Australians, a dating German pilot and stewardess, several miners, an explosives engineer, a Kiwi tour guide, an Aussie bus driver and one super annoying Canadian jerk. Means "Do you have a tent? And "He's weaying a rid shet" means "He's wearing a red shirt". We traveled south from Christchurch to Milford Sound. I know, Dennis, I know. You hate me.). However, af...

In the land of Oz: "I'm going to Koh Pah Ngan!"
http://jamiedandrea.blogspot.com/2009/06/im-going-to-koh-pah-ngan.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2009. I'm going to Koh Pah Ngan! Where you go now? You see baby tiger? Bangkok is intense. Crossing the street takes a leap of faith. Street vendors sell mysterious looking food everywhere you turn. Locals speaking near perfect english approach you within 5 seconds of pulling out a map to supposedly assist you with finding your destination. But beware, they almost always have an agenda. And so I went. Http:/ www.facebook.com/album.php? Http:/ www.facebook.com/album.php?

In the land of Oz: August 2008
http://jamiedandrea.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2008. From the outback to the rainforest. The first day back was spent enjoying my freedom from the buffel grass. I splurged on an $8.80 lunch at a deli with Tina. I did laundry and even dried my clothes (there was no drier at the volunteer house) although some things still did not dry completely and so I set myself up with a bunkbed laundry line. That night we all ordered the $5 meal at the hostel, camel lasagna. The idea if eating camel was frightening but the meal was actually q...
