A Flash Mob of Golfing Kangaroos: Animal Encounters while Traveling

After seeing the adorable sloth on Costa Rican Tourism’s homepage, I am beyond excited for all the new wildlife that I’ll see during my visit there in two weeks.  I can barely find the sloth in his designated exhibit in the Central Park Zoo, so I really hope that Costa Rica is simply RIFE with [...]

Back Up Over

I’m writing this on my flight from SFO to BOS. We have about 30 minutes left and I am at hour 37 of this day. Really, it has been May 3rd for 37 hours. One more hour to go. Stupid date line. We woke up around 8:30 but didn’t really get started until 9. We [...]

Last Day in Sydney feat. Mr Muney

Ahh sleep, so so nice. Brett flew in this morning and we got ahold of him by around 10. I showered and got ready and we hopped on the bus to the Marriott by the water. Brett flew first class here…so I kinda hate him right how. Oh and he is also on the 18th [...]

Birthday Celebrations

At 7am we were waiting for the bus on King Street to make it to Central by 7:25. I got a coffee to start the day and Dave got some chocolate milk and an apple. John would be our tour guide today. He was quite nice, very chatty, and actually…a bit hard to describe. I [...]

Wonderful Nothingness

Eek! 4:50am is gross! We got up and quickly got ready and were driving towards the gas station by 5:20. Shortly after that we were dropping off the rental car with 982.7k more than it started with and getting a quick ride to the terminal. We checked our bags, passed quickly through security, and got [...]

Wineglass Bay

There were no shades on the upper windows in our cottage at Seaview so the sunshine woke us up fairly early. Dave braved the shower first. By the sound of it, the bathroom floor was unbearably cold and thus I was in no hurry to leave the warm bed. Finally I gathered up enough strength [...]

Horses and Penguins

Breakfast this morning was only served until 9:30 with a checkout at 10am and then the scheduled mystery activity at 10:30. I was mostly ready by 9:15 so we had some cereal and toast before going back to the room so I could finish getting ready and pack up. I had said that I would [...]

Tasmania! Cradle Mountain

Even though it was pretty rocky crossing the Bass Straight, we both woke up not feeling sea sick or anything. Maybe even the waves rocked us to sleep.. We would be docking at 7am so I showered first to have time for that whole hair ordeal and then Dave went. Showers on ships are quite [...]

Melbourne

I woke up before the alarm this morning with the realization that if checkout was at 10am, and there was only one shower for the floor, I’d better start early. Luckily there was no line and I was nearly ready by the time the alarm went off and Dave woke up. Blerg, my eye still [...]

12 Apostles and Kangaroo Golf

After a much needed rest, we woke up and got ready to start the day. Dave showered first and then it was my turn. This would be the day that we would figure out that I should always shower first because it takes me so much longer to do my hair. I can not wait [...]

Great Ocean Road

Wow waking up for early flights is pretty terrible. We were up at 6 for a 7:46 flight, out of the door in 20minutes and on King St. looking for a cab. Finally one came and after a 20 minute ride we were at the airport. We checked in at the kiosk, dropped our bags [...]

Up close with kangaroos and koalas :-)

Today started out a bit early. We had to take a train around 10:30 from Redfern because we would be going to Featherdale to see Australian animals!! This was very exciting! We made the train with no issues, stopping to get a quick breakfast of orange juice and chocolate milk first. Its only about a [...]
