The last time I went down to Council Travel they told me they needed a copy of my passport to get a visa to enter Australia. It seems the Aussies have an electronic visa system. I went back to Council Travel today and did the visa thing. While I was there I also joined Hostelling International - American Youth Hostels for a real bargain of $25.

Now if I can just get people here to buy my stuff, I’ll be all set. Lots of folks seem to want my TV, but no one wants the couch or desk or the big stuff like that.
