A lesson in driving

On the wrong side of the road, I mean car, I mean road…

Seriously, driving on the right side of the car is no big deal, when you think about it the only difference is that you have to shift with your left hand (which is easy for the ambidextirious), and remember that your wipers don’t indicate that your turning any particular way.  Indicator and wipers reversed.  Just a few things to think about when driving. Basically just the pedals are all the same.

On the other side of the road, however, is a different story.  There are so many rules of the road that are completely different - let’s just say it’s been a challenge for me. I am driving daily, and legally at that.  With a US license you can drive for five years past it’s expiry date before having to get a Australian license. Figure that?!  Anywho… things are moving right along here.

I’m still searching high and low for a job that will secure my Residency here, and I’m on a good lead for a couple things. Rod and I are off to the Wildlife Sanctuary this week and I will be sending out some postcards to friends as well.  If you get your postcard, go ahead and post a comment here… I’d love to hear from everyone.
