Where in the world is Sarah?

My beloved passport has returned from its voyage to the Chinese Consulate in Chicago with my Chinese visa nestled inside! Which means this adventure of mine is REALLY about to take off. In a little over 24 hours I will be leaving my beach-side apartment to explore China and to backpack Australia. Dorothy will be meeting Andrea and I in Beijing, housing us, feeding us, and perhaps mistranslating what we say for general amusement; fun will be had by all in a land I've wanted to see since I was 5! But upon our return, I will be wandering about Aussie land alone for 18 days.

Since I will have less ready access to the internet I've decided to post a travel calendar here so people will have an idea of where I am. Updates will be made as changes happen...of which there will be many, I have no doubt.
