You will never believe this!!

First I would like to say, I made it to Sydney safely, and will post pictures in about 2 days!!!

Guess what!! So it took me about 2 hours to get out of the airport, and have the shuttle take me to my hotel. And, when I arrived at my hotel, I look across the street....and low and behold it's a motorcycle dealership!! I see these big huge signs that say "Yamaha", "Suzuki", "Ducati", "Vespa", etc. OF COURSE I had to go in and introduce myself, and let them know that yes....aside from the cute black coat and boots I was wearing...I am in LOVE with motorcycles, and sold them for 6 years! I made instant friends just by talking to them about motorcycles!


Then, the rest of the afternoon has just been about walking around the city non-stop, trying to take in as much of Sydney as I can. I went to see the Opera House with the Harbor Bridge. I saw the tourist ferries, and also looked at some downtown malls. I love it here, and could totally live in this city. I am sure I am going to say that a lot in every big city I go to, because I am fascinated by big cities.

Anyway, I am going to stay in tonight, just because I am so tired...and am suffering from a bit of jet lag. Tomorrow is another day...then off to Perth!

I love everyone! Tell me about how you guys are doing too!!! Love, Martina Lynn

G'Bye Everyone!!!!

It's Here! It's time for me to leave! I have been so nervous these past few days. (I threw up twice). LOL. Sorry to write that, but it's true! I have had such a nervous stomach, holy cow!! Anyway, I hope all of you keep in touch, and hope that I can maintain all of my wonderful friendships on here! If not, I understand if you do not post anything...but if you want to see cool pictures of cool places, you can get on here too! Wish me luck! I hope I don't wimp out on myself!
Love, Marcy

Family, family, and more family....

My Mom and my Aunt Patsy who is also my other Mom.
My Big Brothers and I.
My Nephew Braeden


My Nephews Michael and Braeden on 4th of July



More to come....BECAUSE THATS NOT IT!

Mi Familia

I think I have the best family ever. We are so close, and it is obvious that we all care about each other so much. If there is anything that I will miss while on my trip, is my family, and all the time we spend with each other. My parents have Sunday BBQ's just about every Sunday. My cousins and I are so close, you would think we are brothers and sisters. My immediate family is my extended family always picking on each other, then supporting each other when needed. And all my Aunts are like 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th mom's to me. Over the next few months, and even moving on with my future...I am never going to forget my aawesome family.
