When I was 5 or 6, Sarah and I were each given a Glo-Worm for Christmas. Nothing too big – just 2 inches of plastic that glowed in the dark when you had left them in the light for any length of time. It’s been 25 years, and Sarah & I still have our Glo-Worms. And mom has one as well. A sort of talisman that ties us together when we aren’t.
As I was planning this trip, Sarah said to me “I think you should bring your Glo-Worm with you – just a little piece of home.” When I said that I wasn’t, because I was concerned about weight, she looked so disappointed. And it stayed with me for a good 4 weeks, as I was packing, and then re-packing. Why shouldn’t I bring my Glo-Worm as a mascot, and a reminder of home? So, in Glo went into the carry-on. And let me tell you – Glo has seen some pretty amazing stuff.
Glo will pop up in pictures every now and then - basically because I think it's fun. Coming up soon - posts on our trip out to Uluru, and the Great Ocean Road.

Being used as a size comparison - this is a small Latte that I purchased in Darwin for the price of $4.80. I was appalled.

Ahh - the Outback.
