On top of the world


So for our last night in Melbourne we decided to check out the skybar and see Melbourne from a new and high perspective. From eighty eight floors we viewed the city. Beautiful. Then we had sushi and headed to the Workshop, a local bar/ club scene. Today we have planned out the next three weeks of our stay, booking tickets and such. We'll be staying in hostels, camping on beaches and renting a Wicked van. We can drive, sleep in, and even cook in the Wicked van. We've been on this trip for 27 days now and we've done and seen so much!! We have 26 days more in Australia alone!! It's a crazy experience being on a trip this length... your mindset really does begin to alter.
We board a train for Sydney in a couple hours and we will arrive tomorrow early AM in Sydney. And so we much say goodbye to family. Amber, Bj and Tiger have shown us a great time here and we have been on an amazing holiday together. We are so lucky to have spent time together and sleeping in the living room of their small one bedroom has saved much money.

So now Lonnie and I are stuck with each other on our own for the first time. Mexico with family was awesome, Colorado great as always, and Australia thus far has been insanely beautiful. I can only imagine what else the trip will hold for us.
This is the end of free internet as well but we'll try and write relatively soon. xoxo
And so our journey continues...

  3. Jan 12th. Returned with G'ma and Cindy to FL. Mary Manlove too. Anna Bohaty turned up with Phil and Linda and Cindy's friend Ellen, so w/ Dad and me, the 9 of us had B'day cake together. Not quite like Hawaii Five-0h B'day party, but all in all good value. Thinking of you, keep up the excellent, fine, happy blogging for us. It makes our days! XOXO Mom
