We Have A Plan

We're going big...and not going home.
We've made some pretty solid plans and we are both very very excited for this. I can't even actually begin to explain our excitement. Hannah gets to swim in the ocean for the very first time and I get to feel the amazing salt water on my skin again. I will document her swim like there's no tomorrow and share it on here for all to see.
Okay so our itinerary....just in case you care.

Monday, November 16, 2009. - We leave Canberra at a shocking 6:43 AM. We take the train to Port Macquarie where we will spend 3 nights. This train will arrive at Port Macquarie at 6:55 PM. During the trip we will be switching trains once and hopping on a bus for a half hour. The hostel that we are staying at is called the Sundowner Breakwall Tourist Park Hostel if you want to check it out online. Then you will have an idea of the absolute beauty we get to experience. While we are in Port Macquarie we will be doing some camel riding on the old beach and we are also possibly going to go and check out the koala hospital. Other than that we have no plans but to lie on the beach and enjoy ourselves. The link for the hostel is here http://www.hostelworld.com/hosteldetails.php/Sundowner-Breakwall-Tourist-Park/Port-Macquarie/10659 I think that there is a map on there as well.

Thursday, November 19, 2009 - We leave Port Macquarie at 9:00 via the lovely countrylink train system. (this is always how we travel, I now love the trains) We will be taking a bus from Port Macquarie to a little town and then hopping on the train to Sydney Central and then another train to a little town called Goulburn. We get to the little town fairly late and have booked a night at a motel called the alpine heritage motel. You can find a link to check it out right here http://www.alpineheritagemotel.com.au/ It looks pretty stellar to me and it's right across from the railway station.

Friday, November 20, 2009 - We leave this lovely little town that we won't even have a chance to explore at approximately 10:20 am on the train and make our way to Melbourne. We will get to Melbourne at 6:55 pm and check into our hostel. For three nights we are staying at the urban central backpackers (http://www.urbancentral.net.au/photos.jsp?counter=1). When in Melbourne we don't really have any big plans. We will probably check out the casino (Hannah's never been to one) and there's a whole bunch of little shops and markets we will check out.

Monday, November 23, 2009 - We leave the urban central backpackers and head to another one in melbourne that's right on the beach. Ironically it's called the beach. We read mixed reviews on this one and weren't sure that we were going to stay there but we have decided to give it a go for a couple nights. The reason that we wanted to is that you can get private rooms for only 30$ a night. It will be so nice to have a couple nights in Melbourne where we can just throw our stuff wherever.

Wednesday, November 25, 2009 - We will be saying goodbye to Melbourne at 8:30 AM and heading back to Sydney. I think that we will really like Melbourne so this may be a sad goodbye. We get to Sydney at 7:54 pm. We aren't booking a hostel for this night. We are going to try and be hardcore. We will go out for dinner when we get to Sydney and then quite possibly hang out in the airport until 6:00 AM when we get on a flight to PERTH!!!! I am so excited to be going there. We found this great little office that will hopefully assist us in finding an amazing job.

So until the 26th of November you won't hear much from us. Our families will probably hear from us once but other than that we are going to take an internet break. We feel this is for the best.

I'll definitely keep up a blog on word until I get to Perth and then I will post them all, just so we don't forget some of the awesome stuff that we are doing.

I hope everyone is good and awesome and we miss you all like crazy.
