An Arm and a Leg

I've said it before, and I'll say it many times again. It costs a lot to go to Australia. Whether for a couple weeks, or the rest of your life, we're talking about the opposite end of the world, here.

So to give you some idea of what kinda scratch you need for this adventure, I've added a running tally to the site. This is where I'll list every one of my standard (and maybe not so standard) expenses. Now, I'm a lucky girl in that my darling partner is paying a good bit of this with me. It helps to have help! If you're doing this solo, for work reasons or to join someone who can't afford to chip in, start saving sooner and saving harder, but the tally is still for one person, paying for themselves or not.

Slang of the Day — Pom noun. An Englishman. Alt. Pommy, Pommy Bastard. [Amer. use: Brit, Limey.]
