shoes, shoes, shoes...how's a girl to chose??

Sadly, I'm not bringing these shoes.  Although I do own them...

So I'm packing for Australia, and I start thinking of what shoes I need to bring with me.  I'm gone for a whole month, and during that month the season will change from hot hot summer to cool autumn.  I'll also be doing a range of things from glow worm caving to surfing to going out for a night on the town to walking around museums and BBQing with my family.  And suddenly, half my suitcase is full of shoes!

I've got my little tan flats.  I've got my running shoes (which will double as "hiking" shoes).  I've got my birkenstock sandals (because let's face it, I really do live in those in the summer time).  I've got a pair of awesome white heels.  And I've got my little minnetonka moccasins that I just bought and are OH so cute.  The only thing I'm missing are black flats/heels....which I do own, but are so beat up that I'd be embarrassed to wear them out...

Looking at my shoe-filled suitcase, it would be hard for anybody to believe that I once spent a year backpacking with only three t-shirts, four bottoms (pants, skirt, shorts, jeans), two sweaters, and two pairs of shoes!!
