I know I owe this blog a few entries. I have a write up and pictures from our five-day Labor Day get away in Idyllwild where we hiked, hiked, hiked, and hiked some more. I also have a write up of the fantastic vegan version of posole I made. And I have a few finished collages I want to show off.

But all that is gonna have to wait for now. Emmett and I are taking a spur-of-the-moment trip to Perth, Australia. For the past 72 hours, I've had my nose buried in guide books and web pages and disrupted the lives of our housesitters with the last-minute request for their services (thank you, Raynee and Linda!).

I may or may not be able to post daily photos while away. I'm not even sure what we're going to do in Perth when we arrive there in 24 hours. But I do know this: we will make the most of our time while we are there. We love Australia. We're thrilled to be going. And I love that Emmett and I have built a life that allows us to do exactly this type of thing.

Cheers!
