Australia is a lot to tackle.

I mean, let's remember folks, Australia is not only a huge country, it's a continent. That's something I sort of forgot until I really started thinking about it. I knew I wanted to visit Australia. I always have. And what better time then on this big trip. But when I had to choose actual dates for when I wanted to be where, Australia threw me for a loop. I want to see as much as possible, but I'm trying to allow myself time to really see things. Spend enough time to get a true taste of the local culture. Or at least do something memorable so I'm not in a tail spin the entire time. SO. I decided to make it simple. Two weeks - two locations.

First is Melbourne. I've heard it's a wonderful city. Modern, young and lively. It's also an advertising city, so it'll be good to see what it's all about. After spending a few days in Melbourne, I'll fly way up north to Cairns. I chose Cairns because it's a great spot to explore the Great Barrier Reef. It's a tropical city lined with beautiful beaches and an amazing sea life. So that's where I'll be. I signed up for a 5 day class where three days will be on a boat. It looks amazing.

There you have it. I'll be exploring Australia's city life and sea life. I have a feeling both will be beautiful.
