Australia

I booked my flights to Australia today! I'm so excited 🙂

Mark is working offshore out there at the moment and I have been intending to go out and have a holiday with him after the job has finished. Due to the nature of the job though it's been so hard to predict exactly when that will be!

However, today after much talking and taking all the information we have into account I finally booked my flights! I'm leaving on the 24th June for 3 weeks holiday in the sunshine, really looking forward to it! Mark will join me in Cairns when the job is finished which will hopefully roughly coincide with me arriving.

I'm hoping to keep blogging about our adventures whilst we're out there, but I'm not sure how regularly that will be. I will have to try and find places with Wi-fi and make sure to keep a note of all the things we do. I'm definitely going to be taking loads of photos! I've bought an extra 8gb memory card in preparation, and bought the PEN camera wrap case for carrying my camera around safely.

Any tips for blogging on the move or whilst travelling? 

The journey to Australia will be long, but I'm quite excited to go to Singapore which is my stop-off on the way. It sounds like an amazing airport with so many things to keep you entertained! If you have a layover which is longer than 5 hours then you can even go on a free 2 hour guided tour of Singapore to see a bit of the city whilst you're there. I'm totally planning on doing that! There's also a gym with showers, and a swimming pool. It will be really nice to get a bit of exercise and move after sitting still for so long on the plane, and chilling out in the pool sounds the perfect way to relax en-route.

Any tips for places to visit whilst we're in Australia or good hotels to stay in? 

We're planning on doing a trip down the East Coast from Cairns to Brisbane and then a few days in Sydney.  I've been to that area before but would like to travel with a bit more luxury this time, rather than backpacker hostels and student prices! Although there's nothing wrong with a good bargain 🙂 Perhaps just a few decent restaurants for yummy meals together would be nice.

Anyway, back to today...
