traveling...

This is probably all you will hear from us until we get back home on November 12.  Well, I should say until we get home and settled.  We left Sydney on October 31.  We have all our stuff packed, half in storage at our apt building in Sydney and the other half we are lugging with us as we travel around Australia before heading home.  From Sydney, we went to the Blue Mountains for a couple of days.  They are just a couple hours from Sydney.  We had a pretty low key, relaxing time, mainly due to some rain.  After that we flew down to Tasmania.  We spent 3 days there and LOVED Tasmania.  It was cold, but such a historical area.  The scenery is also very pretty...it seems like  mini NZ.  Yesterday we flew up to the Whitsunday Islands.  We are staying in Airlie beach, on the mainland since its about 1/2 the cost of an actual island stay.  we have a beautiful 2 br apt and are LOVING not being in one hotel room!!!  It is absolutely beautiful here.  Google it if you want...one of the beaches is in the top 10 of the world.  We will go there in a couple days.  We are enjoying the beautiful warm weather for a few more days before coming home of Friday.  We can't wait to see everyone but will miss Australia. 

I will post details on our last few weeks after we get home, so its not all done yet!
