Its the final airport... *sung to the tune of "its the final countdown"

We have officially arrived in Adelaide today. We left Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Monday and arrived here in Adelaide, Australia today (Wednesday). Who knows what happened to Tuesday. We had some excitement with our luggage because one of our flights was changed, but all in all it ended up ok. All of our luggage arrived and everything actually went fairly smooth. We got a bit of a driving tour when we got here. The first thing that stood out about the different place was the driving on the opposite side of the road. The city seems to be fairly spread out, but promises some great adventures. One that I am particularly excited about is visiting the habitat of the Fairy Penguin. These penguins are only like 16 inches tall and are native to this particular area. There is also an animal reserve I hope to visit where I might be able to hold a Koala, which by the way are apparently like squirrels here. I've been told to just look for them in the trees around the campus we are staying at. We are staying at a place called Hosanna Heights. It is mostly a nursing school, but provides housing for students. There is a large percentage of the folks staying here that appear to be asian. We have been warned that the food will often be asisan cuisine. The rooms are modest but will definitely work for what we need. They even have sinks in them. The bathrooms, though, leave a little to be desired. Tonight I went on a walk to check out the surrounding area, which seems to be mainly residential. I am extremely tired after all of the traveling and new information I have been fed today. Tomorrow we head to the main office of the organization we will be working with to get introduced around. Thats all for now...
