Lucky you!

I guess the flight isn't as crazy-long, from your hometown.

Oh, it's long. ~20/24 hrs door to door. I was already in the neighborhood though—it was so much fun staying at Jolanda Jetten's gorgeous property at the edge of the rainforest near Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo. Jolanda heads up the psychology department at UQ and is absolutely wonderful. Can't say enough good things about her.

Met Alex Haslam at UQ initially, then later got to hang out with him and his wife and most of the department at a birthday party. He's the guy who basically debunked the Stanford Prison Experiment—such brilliant, fun people.

I would post pictures, but it was after hours and wouldn't be appropriate. It was truly an honor to be invited. Incredible experience all around!

Wow, that does sound fun! Glad you got the chance to attend.

Rainforest. Geez. Like on TV.

IKR?! I never really associated Australia with rainforests. Guess that's just ignorance on my part. It was gorgeous—and just an hour and a half from the beach! Absolutely wild and beautiful on both sides!

It sounds like you're very close to me right now.

It's a beautiful part of the world!

I'm back in the States now or I'd hit you up for coffee. It certainly is. Absolutely gorgeous! I love it.
