Good idea @outlander - this is a good time of year to talk about travel
My last trip was to Cairns - I loved it there so I will be going back in the future for sure
When the school holidays are over I think I will go to Lakes Entrance for a few days and walk along the Lakes and sit in the sane-dunes and think about whatever I think about - I did this a couple of years ago and it was really peaceful and nice and after the last few weeks I feel like doing just that
Though I might catch the bus around to Eden and Two Fold Bay while I am that far east -
I am planning a trip to New Zealand as well - I will do the South Island I think - I would like to see the glacier near Christchurch and plan my own tour - there is no way I could keep up with an organised tour - and I got caught up in someone else's tour at the museum in Cairns - that is a get-here-an-look-for-a-few-minutes deal and I was there for a couple of hours there was so much to see
So my travels might just be an ongoing sage - I don't enjoy doing it during the school holidays though -
btw - I live fairly near the beach here myself - I could and do walk there sometimes - that's travel too
