I’ve been here 3 times now, including living there for 6 months, and can’t get enough! Its full of culture, shopping, great people and food and always something to get into! You can see the sites, go to the beach, ride the train, tram and bus all on one ticket and very easy to get around without a car- major plus! Starting to plan my trip for next year… wonder whats new :)

I havent been in a couple years but it was quite an experience… Stick with the well known tours as it CAN be a dirty and scary place if you arent careful or with a big group. The taxi drivers I had were all crazy drivers :) but most of them are no matter where you go! Beautiful water falls…. great WARM water to swim in!

I have been to Australia 3 times now and intend to go back some time in 2008! The 2nd time I went for a study abroad program and lived in Melbourne for 6 months! WOW what an experience. I have several friends that live there and have been all over! Cant wait to afford a place there some day, although the flight is the most expensive part so maybe I should buy a plane instead! haha I have amazing pictures of Melbourne, Sydney, Cairns, etc. If you are interested or need any advice on who what when- hopefully I can point you in the right direction :)

I spent a week at a ‘resort’ in Fiji called Beachcombers. It was one of the best trips I have ever taken! I went with a few close friends and stayed in the massive room full of bunk beds and people from all around the world. It was fairly inexpensive to stay there and meals were included- hopefully you like pineapple because its included in EVERY meal in one way or another!!! This getaway spot is on a tiny island that you can walk around in about ten minutes but also offers daily tours to the ‘mainland’ to shop, etc and along with other tours to go snorkeling, island hopping, to Castaway island where the movie was filmed, etc. GREAT time at night at the bar right on the beach and a great place to meet new friends!!!

I have been to a couple different places in Florida including diving in Key west. The dive was alright, pretty windy which can make things interesting when trying to get back onthe dive boat, and bumpy to boot! Overall it was a good experience but I have not been out and about in Florida for a couple years so who knows whats changed!
