Going to Australia!!!

[ehanes7612]

just bought my ticket to fly into Sydney..Mar 3 to Mar 19th..I will be mostly staying with friends in Melbourne...but I want to visit ANU in Canberra (as a possible grad school for Astrophysics)..perhaps drop into a class by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Brian Schmidt (he was part of a team that came up with Dark Energy to explain the acceleration of expansion of the Universe)

You want me to mind/hold you plants?

Ed, I'm confused. I thought you were going to grad school next month?

Ed, I'm confused. I thought you were going to grad school next month?

I said fall 2015 is when I am moving..possibly for grad school..but actually it's to do all the senior credits I need for the application..and I can do both ya?

I am considering ANU in Canberra as a possible grad school...but it's a really tough school to get into for Astrophysics

Good luck and try to enjoy grad school. Also mind which airline you take.

 

[ehanes7612]

Hawaiian

I thought you knew. My cat adoption fee is $11,000.00. I was giving you a break!

And go to Jail!!! Not a good idea. Customs in this country are extra-ordinarily 'precise', even compared to the USA.
Have a great time. Let us know if you come up North.

 

[cnycharles]

The tubers can be shipped legally when dormant, just that it costs several hundred dollars for the exporter to get licenses to do it now which is why nesbitts won't do it anymore

 

[NYEric]

License!? We don' need no stinkin' license!!
