In three short weeks we will be experiencing the 'lost day'.
We leave on Friday, November 2nd from Boston, heading to Los Angeles. Our flight from LAX to Sydney also leaves on the 2nd (just barely), but we don't arrive in Sydney until the 4th, and while we will experience some of the 3rd, it is essentially a non-day.
We do get the day back on the way back, leaving on the 30th and getting back to the US before we left. I think our elapsed time from Melbourne to Boston is 4 hours, despite the 30 hours of actual travel.
A note about this blog. Basically, we're going to try to maintain some amount of regular posting, including pictures, and maybe some video as we go, all depending on the accessibility of the internet where we are. I doubt it will be daily, but hopefully frequently. Hopefully it will be interesting, and not merely the digital equivalent of a 'wish you were here' postcard.
Also note, time and date conventions are of and by Australian standards (day,month,year).

This. Is. Cool.
Cool. This is.
We lost those days, and got them back, when we went to and from Japan. I loved having "todays" copy of the Yoriumi Shinbun from the start of my trip.
Did I mention this is cool?
Looking forward to the documentation. Don't kill yourself to maintain regular posts, though. Do nothing to distract from the actual experience. There'll be plenty of time for recap upon the return.
G'Day Mate! Glad to see this miniblog appear for the trip. Remember the great relax! Post if it really moves you to post, but like Dan says, there will be time afterwards. Awesome!!!!!!!!
Understood, and thanks.
I won't be rushing from wi-fi spot to wi-fi spot documenting wi-fi spots.
We generally allow for some sitting around drinking beers/coffees leisurely when we travel, and those are good opportunities for postcard writing etc.
Let me know what they have to drink down there besides Foster's.
That's all they have down there! It's either Foster's or Kangaroo milk.
From what I understand Australians (generally) think of Fosters like we think of Bud Light (or possibly worse).
I know of several:
Victoria Bitter (usually referred to as VB)
Something XXXX (I forget what the part is before the XXXX)
Carleton
Fosters other than the one we get.
