Who doesn't have the travel bug?

Well I have had the travel bug since my first trip to Florida when I was about 2, correct me if I'm wrong Mom.
So I went from having a nice $44.07 to my name and then I got 2 nice pay checks from working. It feels good to have money again!
I can never save money so I needed to work out some goals so that it helps me save money and that I did. I spent about an hour yesterday planning my Australian Adventure. I picked up a book on my flight to Melbourne and it has all the spots that I want to hit in Australia so I planned around that.

The places I want to visit are;

  • Adelaide - the visit some wineries
  • Alice Springs - THE OUTBACK!
  • Brisbane 
  • Canberra - Australia's Capital
  • Cairns
  • Darwin
  • Hobart - Tasmania
  • Mackay
  • Melbourne - I'd like to do some more sightseeing there if time and money permit
  • Perth
  • Rockhampton
  • Sunshine Coast
  • Sydney - For New Years with Jessica
  • Broome

I am planning on leaving the Gold Coast in the middle of February when my apartment lease is up and doing something like this.

Gold Coast  - Sunshine Coast - Rockhampton - Mackay - Cairns - Darwin - Broome - Perth

Places like Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, and possibly Hobart I can visit while I live on the Gold Coast. I love living in Australia because domestic traveling is so cheap. I can hop on a plane and head to Sydney for a few days over New Years and it is $178 round trip. I couldn't fly from London, ON to Toronto, ON for that cheap.

Jessica is coming to visit me in Australia in December, December 15th to be exact, so we will be together for Christmas and New Years! She is coming for a month, and during that month we are going to go to Thailand for a week and maybe spend a few days in Bali on the way back.

I can't wait to start my travels in Australia, this excites me so much! I wish that I could spend the rest of my life travelling the world and not having to work, maybe along my travels I will find something that can allow me to do so!

I have to leave Australia on August 16, 2011, that will be a very sad day, but I have 6 months to travel. When I decided to get a flight back to Canada no one will know when I am coming, I will just show up! It will be a big surprise!!

BRING ON THE ADVENTURE!
