Kia Ora...or hello in Maori (New Zealand native). The last post was a quick and dirty run down of the bulk of our trip and we were traveling so I couldn't finish it in a nice way. Now, since we are back in Sydney for a few days before our final homecoming, I wanted to share the last few days of our beautiful, awesome, wonderful vacation.July 8th- Today, we decided to drive to Lake Te Anau, which is supposedly very pretty. It took us five hours...

It's been a while, but it's time for an update. July 1-8, Paul and I are romping through the land of Lord of the Rings, New Zealand! We are so excited about our little vacation before returning to the US. So, on to the post!July 1- Arrived in Christchurch really late due to some terrible, terrible flight things from US and from Sydney. Paul had to wait for me in the airport, but then we drove to Arthur's Pass.Night mountainsJuly 2- After a very...

Last Australian adventure! So bittersweet, and we had company on this one. Our friends Sarah and Chris went camping with us in the great Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory. In other words, the Outback. The boys had Monday off for the Queen's birthday...and what better way to celebrate it than a day off! Have you seen Crocodile Dundee? The filming in Australia was shot here and it was breath taking. There is so much to talk about,...

I'm going to be a touch late with next week's post because I want to get all our pictures from Sarah, our photographer friend who traveled with us. But here are last week's photos from the Great Barrier Reef! EnjoyRemember, copy and paste:http://www5.snapfish.com.au/snapfishau/thumbnailshare/AlbumID=4673350014/a=113203351_113203351/otsc=SHR/otsi=SALBli...

June is just an adventurous month for the Meggses as we tick off our second trip of the month. We went to Port Douglas, Queensland, which is another entry to visit the Great Barrier Reef. You may remember our previous post when we visited the Whitsundays and also scuba-ed at the GBR. We had heard great things about Port Douglas so we figured, why not?Friday: Left cold and rainy Sydney at 3:30 PM and arrived in Cairns at around 6:30 PM. From there,...

It's been a fairly quiet few weeks here in the Australia world. With Paul's work and things up in the air about our return home, we have not traveled much. But, this blog entry is going to be terribly exciting because we went to...FIJI!For our seven year anniversary (wait, let me just rewrite that...SEVEN YEARS!), we decided to treat ourselves to a little slice of heaven. Sydney has been so drab and rainy for the past month (168 mm) that it was...

Late post! It's ok, you haven't missed much. We pretty much relaxed all weekend because we didn't go anywhere. Sometimes you need the break from all the travel. Pretty much spent the weekend catching up on all the House episodes we have missed (the fact I went this long without it was killing me). Here's what we are up to for the rest of our time here:We had a trip to Port Douglas in Queensland scheduled for this weekend, but it seems Paul has been called to Singapore at a last minute trip, so, we will probably visit the Blue Mountains when...

This weekend, we re-visited Victoria since Paul had training down there. We were hoping this time to do the other fun activities we couldn't accomplish when we did the Great Ocean Road. Friday: Paul was already in Melbourne, so I was flying down to meet him. I had a jam packed day of fun before though. Paul's company was having a significant other program that got only the SO's out and chatting. This event was at the Art Gallery in downtown Sydney. We saw the Archibald Exhibit and it was so great to be out with other girls and enjoying ourselves!...

Yes, finally the trip we have been patiently waiting for...the thing that we most associate whenever we hear the word Australia...it's the Outback weekend! Before I moved here, I really did not know so much about Australia except for the Outback, kangaroos, and dingos. Of course, over the last four months, I have been pleasantly surprised at the diversity of life on this continent and the Outback did much the same this weekend. I never knew how much life could be in the lands that are considered uninhabitable to humans. Trees were everywhere,...

It's been a pretty relaxed few weeks, but now we have gone on another wonderful weekend trip: Tasmania. We absolutely loved this beautiful land. As the post title suggests, it is a magical land. Last week, Paul had to go to Singapore on a business trip and I was left to do as I please. So, that was just me packing for Tasmania and getting all our other trips squared away. I felt so bad though when he came back, he was so tired, he just fell on the bed and was asleep in minutes. Although, I did get presents! Anyway, back to the trip.Saturday:...

This week is our weekend off for many reasons: 1. Our bigger trips are for the most part planned. 2. We couldn't think of where to go on short notice and 3. Paul really has not had a break. I think I have stated that before, but really, going on a mini vay-cay every weekend can be exhausting. Especially when you work 70 hours a week. So, I took pity on poor Paul (note the alliteration) and said no, we are to sleep!Even then though, a weekend in the city is not one to be considered boring. We have always been pleasantly surprised at how much...

Happy Easter!Hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing time off with beautiful weather and chocolate. I know we did! This weekend was our long awaited trip to the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsunday Islands. For Easter, Paul got Friday and Monday off, so it was an extended vacation, which is why I did not update on our Monday. This was one of our favourite vacations yet!Thursday: We left for the Sydney airport at 5:30 AM (I hate early mornings!) and arrived in Macay, Queensland airport at 12 PM. From there, we took a Greyhound to Airlie Beach,...
