When you ask people what they’d like to do more of if they had the time and/or money, they often respond with; “travel!”, “get out of the country”, “see the sights” etc. And I can tell you that my response is pretty much the same. Yes, in my last post I stated that I had only made one New Year’s Resolution (which is true), but part of my medium & long term goals involve me making time to do much more traveling.

Small steps.

Clearly, the best place to start is in your own backyard. Now, here in Perth, we have a LOT of backyard to explore, so I’m being super creative by extending that definition to include the Eastern States. More specifically, Victoria and New South Wales. Friends were consulted, plans were made, tickets & accommodation booked, so I’m happy to announce the official dates of travel are as follows:

Friday, 3rd October - Perth to Melbourne

Wednesday, 8th October - Melbourne to Sydney

Sunday, 12th October - Sydney to Perth

I have both real life and online friends in those cities, and will endeavour to catch up with as many as I can fit in between shopping, eating, shopping, drinking, shopping, sleeping and shopping. So what I’m asking of you is suggestions for things to do whilst I’m there. Tickets have been booked to see Cirque de Soleil’s Drallion on the Thursday when in Sydney, and despite the number of times Cirque has toured through Australia, it’s embarrassing for me to admit I’ve never once seen a show!

Aside from that, what else can you recommend I see or do? Any insider information is very welcome, and if you’d like to meetup for a drink and a chat, please let me know in the comments, or email me: luweez [at] luweez [dot] net :)
