Australian Vacation 2009: Overview
So it’s been about a week since we returned from our great Australian escapade. I figure it’s about time I get around to writing down the interesting bits about our vacation. The trip was about 6 months in the making before we finally began our trip on the night of 10 July 2009. The vacation nearly didn’t take off due to the worldwide Influenza AH1N1 (or more commonly known as Swine Flu) scare. After much debate and plenty of last minute calls, we finally decided to go for it. This is a rough outline of our itinerary and will serve as a reminder and a guide.

That sounds like it was an amazing trip. I’d love to get down to Australia one day. 17 days, I bet you were really able to enjoy your vacation.
