Naming the blog

It was particulary difficult to come up with a proper name for this blog. This is not just a blog about couple of weeks holiday, this is blog about a year away from home. This is blog about reshaping my life, letting go of the past, journey of self-discovery, embracing adventure and most importantly...making a dream come true.

Then there is the other aspect which is my destination, Australia. I wanted blog's title also to remind everyone of my destination.

And then it hit me.

Few months ago as I was watching Youtube, I stumbled to that truly heartbreaking song by Judy Garland from the movie Wizard of Oz. Of course the song is familiar to everyone, but as I heard it again I knew instantly that this was it. Lyrics, melody and Garland's performance are what this trip is all about.

Over The Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
