Bula!

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...

A little post

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...

Melbourne weekend

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!...

The Outback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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,...
