I want you to go to Australia too, for my own selfish reasons! LOL. I would totally climb the steps of the opera house with you.

So missy, been in a movie???? I want details.

What a fun list, I'm going to do that on my blog too.

Can't wait to see your list! And just so you know, the 12 Apostles and Melbourne are higher on my list than the Opera House. :-)

The movie ~sigh~ it was just a bit role in a "semi-documentary" about the Bermuda Triangle. I was the cute kid in front of the "German" woman on the airplane. Every single take, I looked at the camera, lol! Still have my paystub from my only official acting job.
