There's a lot ahead

Alright, now that you're all in the loop about Port Douglas, this is what we're doing today and for the next few days:

Planning the rest of our trip!

We're headed to the flight centre today to find out more about:
1.) Tasmanina
2.) Sydney
3.) The Great Ocean Road
4.) Winery tours

Wish us luck! Also, hope you like some of our pics!

This is what we learned after some planning yesterday:

Tasmania
  • 4-day trip: about $800 - $1000
Sydney
  • Flights: $250
  • Food: $150
  • Bridge climb: $180
  • Misc: $100
Melbourne
  • The Great Ocean Road: $140 (11/19)
  • Yarra Wine Valley: $144 (11/21)
  • Kangaroo Park?: $119
Total: Over $2,000
Once-in-a-lifetime vacation to Australia for 6 weeks... priceless! (Had to say it.) God, I am going to be so poor come Dec. 15.

The rest of the pocket change - maybe about $1,000 or so - will go to the city of Melbourne for the back leg of our trip and Christmas presents. We both keep forgetting it's the holiday season because it was only a day ago that we got sunburn. 

If you have any requests for your xmas present, comment now or forever hold your peace!
