Days 175 to 178 (24-27.06.10) – Friends + Shopping = Fun in Melbourne!

It’s been so long sinceĀ  I went away on a trip overseas with a girlfriend. The last time was a 5-day trip to Singapore in 1999 with my good friend, Kathy. That was before I got married!

Melbourne Museum

Sure, I went away with friends within and around New Zealand in the last 10 years or so but they were mostly sight-seeing trips and while I enjoyed these trips immensely, going overseas with a friend with nothing planned but a few days of shopping can also be heavenly.

Day 30 (30.01.10) – Exploring the Keys

I am pleased to be able to say that I have finally reached the end of the world. Well….the southernmost point of the United States anyway.

Key West Florida

If I squint hard enough I think I could just see the tip of Cuba. LOL I wanted to say Hi to dear ol’ Fidel but we didn’t have time.

running to Cuba

I tried to run away but I didn’t fancy swimming 90 miles to reach Cuba!

scooter

I suppose I could’ve taken a scooter to Cuba but don’t think it’s amphibious. Check out my ass on this photo! LOL

Key West Florida

Key West Florida was awesome. The vibe of the town (city?) rocks.

7 mile bridge

And have I told you about 7-mile bridge through the Florida Keys? Wow. The bridge, just went on and on and on. It was magic. I am keen to go back there and show MrG and Bea.

Key West Florida

Thanks to my high school friends for taking the time to show me around Florida. I really enjoyed it.

We are ready to jump ship!

Through the help of my brother and colleague, Mary Jo over at PlanetEye, we’ve sorted our US and Canada itinerary!

We are ready to jump, err fly, folks! We haven’t booked our domestic flights within US and Canada but at least, we’ve decided on the route that we’re going to take. We’re visiting a lot of cities in one month! We may have to cull some off our list. We just have to see!

MrG has given me free rein in designing our itinerary as he will go wherever I decide to do. Either he trusts me completely or he’s just too lazy to pore over the itinerary with me…Hmmm, what do you think? LOL

So here you go….our final (almost) itinerary:

us-and-canada-itinerary

This holiday would predominantly be a family holiday with lots of visits to theme parks (Disneyland, Disneyworld, Universal Studios…any other suggestions?) and of course, a visit to Forks, Washington to see the ‘home’ of Twilight just so Bea can stop pestering us about it! :P

Hopefully we’ll be able to squeeze in time to visit museums, art galleries and the White House while in Washington, DC and watch a Broadway Show in New York. I’d definitely love to squeeze in some outlet store shopping!

But we will see. It’s recession time. Must be mindful of our budget! I do plan to stay an extra 5 days at the end of our trip for an all girls trip with two of my cousins. Again, we will see :-)

What do you think? Are we covering too much in 4 weeks’ time?

See you real soon!
