Written by Kim We left Thursday evening for a few days to visit Alex’s family in Tennessee for Christmas. It was quite a treat to be able to get away. We found some inexpensive flights out of Allentown direct on Allegiant which is not the most comfortable budget airline but it was a short direct […]

Addition to Day 49 – Sydney Bridge Climb (11/4/19)
Written by Kim As promised, we now have the photos they took of the bridge climb so sharing them now. Tomorrow I will post a recap post. I didn’t edit any of the photos and you can now see the real view of our climb. The bridge is nicknamed “the coat hanger” because of the […]
Day 50 – Last day in Sydney – Melbourne Cup Day (11/5/19)
Written by Kim We (well really I) lazied around this morning as I was pretty tired from all the walking and bridge climb yesterday. We got organized and packed a bit after our peanut butter and jelly toast. Around 10 we set off to catch the hop on hop off bus to check out some […]
Day 49 – Sydney’s iconic sights (11/4/19)
Written by Alex Today started with a quiet breakfast at our studio apartment before heading out to ride the double decker Big Bus, which is a hop on, hop off tour of Sydney. We did most of the City Loop, which gave us an idea of the lay of the land, cool sights we would […]
Day 48 – Last Australian coastal drive to Sydney (11/3/19)
Written by Kim Had a quick breakfast at Macca’s (Mc Donald’s) before hitting the A1 to head to Sydney. Some different menu options for breakfast – banana bread, raisin bread, scones, donuts and the usual Mc muffins but no Mc Griddles here in Oz. Our drive today was 6 hours of mostly freeway. We drove […]
Day 47 – A stop in Ballina on the way to Coff’s Harbour (10/2/19)
Written by Kim We were up early for some casino comp breakfast before hitting the road for our 4 1/2 hour drive to Coff’s Harbour. One big highlight today is we saw a kangaroo hopping along the side of the road (no pic as camera wasn’t ready). We arranged to stop at the house of […]
Day 46 – Brisbane brewery bouncing (11/1/19)
Written by Alex Today we decided we would do a tour of a few of Brisbane’s breweries. Brisbane is home to one of Australia’s largest beer makers, XXXX (Four X, not Quatro Equis!). They run tours daily, so we signed up to go on their 11am tour. When we woke up we ordered room service […]
Day 45 – Halloween in Brisbane (10/31/19)
Written by Kim Left Noosa and grabbed some breakfast at Moto before getting on the motorway. Food was excellent – thanks Google for the good reviews. Driving was quite different today similar to the US. 4 lane motorway with lots of construction. We listened to most of the World Series on our morning drives. It […]
Day 44 – Noosa National Park (10/30/19)
Written by Alex Today was a pretty quiet day in Noosa. As we have driven south we are noticing the temperatures cooling off (it’s springtime here in Australia). Today was nice with a high around 74F/23C. We decided to walk along the beach and then up into Noosa National Park, which is located just south […]
