Antibiotics & Melbourne-Bound

Spent the last few days with a tickly, wheezy cough and a bit of fatigue. I was rather impressed and surprisingly excited about my first Australian medical centre experience. I walked in off the street and within 15 minutes of walking through the door, I was diagnosed (upper respiratory infection - ew!), had my meds in hand, and all paid up! 15 minutes. The doctor was friendly, courteous, and there wasn't a ridiculous amount of paperwork to fill out. The simplicity of it all must help the healing process, because I'm feeling much better now!

I'm hopping on a plane to Melbourne early Saturday morning (in a few hours) for some weekend fun. From what I hear, Melbourne's an amazing city - they also have some pretty good tennis this time of year, too! Most of the top players will be in action at the Aussie Open. The only question mark is Roddick, who's down 2 sets to 1 in his 3rd round match (as of 12:45am Friday night).

I've got my bag packed, camera charged, sunscreen and hat ready to go! Needless to say, my next post will come live from Melbourne! Look for me in the nosebleeds.
