Qantas is chilling the champagne even as I write..
Today's the first day of vacation, and tomorrow is the first leg our our trip to Australia

Four days in Sydney, four days in Cairns doing some diving on the Great Barrier Reef, and four days in Melbourne for some city touring and socializing. Charles and I are both pretty excited about it, as it really is the first lengthy vacation we've both taken with each other. And we're both thrilled about taking Qantas First Class on the trans-Pacific legs. Sleeper seats, duvets, cotton towels in the bathroom, and of course, we have very high expectations for the food. I'm sure we won't be disappointed.
Yesterday was my 37th birthday, and Chaz pulled together a small surprise party. I thought his family was going to come by, but instead, about a dozen of our friends came by for hamburgers, beer, and tres leches cake. As much as I chat with my closest friends, somehow they were able to keep it quiet.
Its good being done with a project and on a trajectory for some time on my own. I've still got to balance the checkbook and get a couple of plug adapters, but I'll be ready for that plane in the morning!
