(boring) info you asked for

As you plan to come visit me, the code for the main Melbourne airport is MEL. (Sydney is SYD.)

You can go to travelocity or expedia or studentuniverse and put those airports on their "fare watcher" option, and they can email you whenever the fare drops below a certain point.

Low season fares to Australia will be anything under $1000-ish. but there are cheap fare deals all the time, so something may come up at other times. Those are often around $750-900 RT. (and no, I don't know which months exactly are "low season"...)

Just, FYI.

on my way

does anyone know how to get 100 pounds of luggage (only 2 suitcases) to weigh only 50 pounds? because that'd be super. the nice skycap had me redistribute my luggage so it weighed a little less (putting some excess into my parents' suitcases) and didn't charge me two overweight luggage fees.

oh, and by the way, moving on 95 degree days isn't fun. in case you weren't sure.

so I'm in Chicago until Saturday. then I land in Melbourne on July 4th.

crazy days, people. crazy days.
