Heading South for the Winter
Do the toilets really flush backward down under?
So I’m sitting on quite a bumpy flight from Washington to Los Angeles for the first leg of a little vacation trip to Australia. I’m really pretty excited about this one and I am going to do my best to post pictures and things as we go along our trip.
As I mentioned in my very first post and in the “about me” page of the site, I love to travel abroad and do things that are just a little bit risky. I would be remiss if I didn’t give a lot of credit to one of my best friends, Troy McCurry (guy sleeping next to me), for planning most of these crazy adventures. I have a lot of good friends but it seems they all look at me a little sideways when I talk about taking these dangerous trips.
Not Troy!
Despite being a brilliant election attorney with the Republican National Committee, he seems to have enough screws loose to enjoy hitching planes rides to foreign lands, risking injury for some cool photos and even better memories. From sketchy hostels on the beach in Costa Rica and “skiing” down the Swiss Alps, to running with the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain we always have a great time and seem to make it back safely.
The highlights of this year’s trip will be climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge, diving on the Great Barrier Reef, wrestling Koalas and hugging Crocodiles. I’ll be attempting to shoot some short videos to post when possible so stay tuned. We also will be taking a ton of pictures both above and below sea level. All in all, I am very excited. I wanted to do some diving with Great White sharks, but they are in southern Australia this time of year and it was a bit too cost prohibitive to. Who want s to pay that much to be shark food?
Guess that’ll be next vacation…
