Wednesday, August 12.
We stayed in tropical Far North Queensland for a total of 6 nights — we split up that time between Port Douglas (relaxed, resort-y town) and Cairns (tourist-y). So we didn’t do much this day except switch hotels to the Shangri-La in the morning. The best part about our new hotel was the [...]

I can’t believe it’s October already. And only 1 week until my 30th birthday. WHAT.
Back to the trip recap…
Monday, August 10.
We took a tour up the Daintree Coast with Tony’s Tropical Tours. They were grrr-eat! Heh.
It was a really small, intimate group — only 6 of us plus our tour guide and driver Jonathan. One [...]

Short trip report update.
Sunday, August 9 – Our 1st anniversary!
We spent our first anniversary traveling to our next destination. Yay?

I already missed the Westin and its luxurious shower. *sigh*
We were headed to the tropical paradise of Far North Queensland for 6 days! We flew Qantas and I loved it. So much legroom [...]

I really need to do a TV post but I still have many planned vacation posts to do so here’s another installment…

Rob tried to make a friend at the Great Barrier Reef…

The fish did not want to be his friend.
Off to Uluru tomorrow. Not sure if we’ll have internet access there… I’ll check back when I can.

FINALLY. A hotel with *free* internet access! So here I am with a quick pic I want to share…
Rob and I got to cuddle a koala in Kuranda yesterday. Amazing experience.

Off to snorkel at the Great Barrier Reef tomorrow!

Last week was so insane that I didn’t have time to write up a quick entry mentioning that I was headed off on my long-awaited vacation. Rob and I left for Manila on the 1st and now we’re in Melbourne! I’m in McDonald’s currently using their free wi-fi. Hehe. It’s been a fantastic vacation so [...]

I FINALLY got approval for 3 weeks (!!!) of vacation from work in August.
So what am I planning to do with all that time off? Rob and I are taking an anniversary trip to the other side of the world — first stop is the Philippines to visit my grandma in Manila and then [...]
