Orientation

When I first get to Australia I will be traveling to Cairns to participate in a two day orientation with all of the other summer interns, even those not staying in Sydney. We will arrive and travel to our hotel (The Bohemia Resort-picture above) together. We will then experience a typical Aussie Sausage Sizzle....what is that you may ask, well your guess is as good as mine. I will make sure to let you know when I find out. My only guess is that it has to do with food and that is sure a good way to start the trip! We then have some information sessions and get our phones so I can make short calls back home. For dinner we are going to Blue Sky Brewery (the legal drinking age is 18....can't fight that). We are free for the rest of the night to experience the town and hotel with all the interns. The next morning after breakfast we are spending the day snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. I am unbelievably excited about this! The Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and I get to experience it for the whole afternoon! After snorkeling we have more information sessions, but the evening off to explore the town. No breakfast for me the next morning because my plane leaves for Sydney at 5:45am. There is 7 or 8 girls living with me in Sydney and I assume we will all be traveling together. We have the weekend to get settled into our new temporary home and explore the city before we all start work on Monday.
