Australia is such an incredible place! So diverse, so unique. I loved my visit there 10 years ago. Would love to get back there one day and see Uluru.
ReplyDeleteYeah. It would be near the top of my list if I could afford it.
DeleteThe ONLY reason I was able to go was because I had 33 teenagers in tow. Chaperoning is basically working, so my compensation was a free trip. It was worth it though.
DeleteAustralia is on my must-visit list, even though it’s expensive and involves many hours of sitting on a plane. I’ve also heard there are giant spiders there. Giant spiders are not okay with me . . .
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I'm not a fan of giant spiders either.
DeleteNow that you have your advanced degrees you should look into the public speaking circuit - get expense-paid trips for delivering speeches at conferences and such.
I would love to visit there
ReplyDeleteThere's plenty of coastline for people who like to fish. Not sure if they let you bring them back to the U.S. though.
