I enjoyed cooling off in the Frog Pond…

Saw American Ballet Theater perform Swan Lake here in Spring 2008. The whole experience was magical.

I can’t wait!

I’ve started making my list of places to go.

Does anyone have any thoughts about the Resistance Mueseum? I thought it sounded especially interesting…

Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait!

Also found out that a Swedish friend of mine will be there at the same time—we haven’t seen each other in a few years, so I really can’t wait!

I’m headed to Copenhagen in early September for Labor Day weekend on an even better fare. I’m so excited, as I’ve never been to Denmark.

Let the planning commence!

I had my entire trip planned, and I was leaving in a week in November 2008… Unfortunately, my doctor discovered a tumor, and I had to have emergency surgery a few days before I was supposed to leave. Because of the nature of the surgery and the timing, I had to cancel my trip to Australia.

It’s really too bad, but hopefully I’ll make it back one day.

Olympics 2010?

My meetup group is consider taking a trip to Vancouver to see the Winter Olympics next year. I think it would be a great time to visit British Columbia AND experience something I have always wanted to attend.

We’ll see how it pans out.

Gave up Sydney on my list and added Australia, as I have decided to include more of Australia in my trip in November. My trip planning is finally coming together. I have decided to visit Sydney, Brisbane, and Cairns.

Sydney
-seeing Australian Ballet at Opera House
-seeing Sydney Symphony at Opera House
-day trip to the Blue Mountains
-day trip to the Hunter Valley
-Sydney Aquarium
-Harbour Bridge Pylon
-The Rocks Market
... more sight seeing!

Brisbane
-Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
-day trip to Australia/Steve Irwin Zoo

Cairns
-Day trip out to the Great Barrier Reef
-Day trip to rainforest
-Butterfly preserve?

I have my hotels and flights lined up, so it’s just filling in the blanks and booking the tours. I am looking forward to it… if I could just wrap my mind around the 14 hour flight!

Taking any and all suggestions from seasoned travelers and locals.

I’m meeting up with some of my old co-workers in Boston the last weekend in July. We’re going to the Red Sox/Yankees game, and I absolutely cannot wait! I’m really excited about seeing my old friends that I miss terribly… and finally getting to visit Boston. This is shaping up to be an incredible summer.

I got an email this morning from Travelzoo, saying that Qantas was offering a $380 roundtrip fare from LAX, which included most of the taxes. I got on there, and I found a ticket for $515, including all taxes, fees, etc…. ROUND TRIP! I’m using my United miles to get from DFW to LAX… So, I’m going in November!! My United trip only costs me $5… so I’m flying from home to Sydney for $520!! I am so excited, I must start planning now! I’m hoping to maybe visit Melbourne AND Sydney… but we’ll see!

Australia, wow!

Owing to the fact that my life turned to complete rubbish in the last month with a lot more headaches than I care to admit, I impulsively booked a ticket to London for Memorial Day weekend. I cannot wait. I’m meeting up with one of my friends from my semester abroad, staying in a fabulous hotel, and plan to explore this great city again. I’m hoping to see a show in the West End this time, though!!
