I want to go too.
Except the leeches.
Not sure about the leeches.
And maybe the blisters and the hiking.
Tell us about it when you get back.
I pretty much can't say it better than m1k1 - so ditto. And add some envy - Tasmania!! It's fantastic. Very envious.
have a wonderful time:)
and if you don't get all those things checked off -what's gonna happen?
probably nothing.....

Have a great trip - I look forward to the photos!
Please do not uncross fingers!
Ooooh, envy! We loved Tasmania and would love to get back there. Keep up the denial. Nothing is going round. Nothing is going round. Nothing is going round.
