The one where Kelly drives on the other side of the road

As everyone knows, you have to drive on the left side of the road here in Australia.  You are also sitting in what would be the passenger seat in the US.
Well last week, it was time that I learn to drive on the other side of the road.  So after Jaret came home from work...we decided to head out for dinner so I could get some driving time in and I really wanted another person in the car for my first time.

I got us to dinner safely...we just got some fast food at Hungry Jacks...but at home we call it something else...who knows their fast food places???


I drove around a little more while it was still light out and we ended up at some park.  But we were able to get a great view of the Perth Skyline.
 
And of our hotel....

 
I got us back to the hotel without any problems (thank goodness!)  It wasn't as tough as I thought it would be!
 
 
I think the hardest part is getting used to everything being on the wrong side in the car...whenever you go for the blinker, I usually hit the windshield wipers! Jaret & I think we need to put a sock on the windshield one so we don't keep hitting it :) 
I also figured out if it feels right as if I were driving at home...it's wrong here.  And look, they even have nice reminders posted for drivers :)
