uneventful life in the desert...

Well, its been a week or so since I updated on our lives...nothing much has changed though!  We are excited to say that we are spending more and more time planning our trips in Aug- which have already changed to --Cairns, Melbourne, Thailand, Vietnam, Sydney, Los Angeles, BC, and then Ontario!  This planning is going really well, and we are just excited to be getting in some great experiences while we visit this side of the country!  I know some of you will be disappointed that we won't be getting to New Zealand, but rather now we will be trying to get to Vietnam.  Well, it's been a while in the works but we really dont think one week in NZ is enough but we wont be able to afford anymore, so we have decided that we will save it for when we can really experience the true NZ for a few weeks!  Until then we figured we might as well get on the south east asia train and experience more then what we thought we could!  Very excited and cant wait to get on the first plane on our trip!  Until then we are going to be working hard and saving all our money for our trip!  We cant wait!!!!!!  If anyone has any ideas as to places to stay anywhere we have mentioned please feel free to send us an email! 

exciting coming year!

Well it's been a wirlwind of a few weeks that's for sure!  We have been very busy trying to figure out our future plans beyond our trips in August. (Aug--Cairns, Melbourne, Thailand, New Zealand, Sydney, LA, BC, ON at the end of Sept!)  It will be an exciting two months that's for sure...but what comes next?  That is what we have been working on.  Before we were set on coming back to Australia and trying to be come permenant citizens so that we could stay here and make some good money for a while....well turns out it's super expensive (almost 12000- before flights!) to get it all going and then we would have to commit ourselves to one job location for 2 years.  During the 2 years we also wouldn't be able to leave the country at all....no trips to south east asia or new zealand or even home heaven forbid something happend at home.  NOPE.  No travel outside the country for two years....for a couple that loves to travel, two years is a LONG time!  So...we have decided that we will not be coming back to Aussie.  Yeah it's a little sad, but at the same time we are very excited that we have decided that we will be staying in Ontario for at least a year!
AND...we know it will at least be a year because----WE ARE GETTING MARRIED IN ONTARIO!  That's right...we had some great plans started for an elopement in Thailand while we are there, but now we have decided that we will save the money that we were going to use for that and we will be using it to get to New Zealand before we get back to Canada!  Very very excited that we will be sharing this moment with all our family and friends in Canada in 2012!!!  As we all know I am very excited for the upcoming plans as I love planning parties as much as I love going to them!  Lots to look at and lots to do, and we will keep you all posted as to when we are thinking about for dates! 
So we have made many changes to our life plans in the last little while but we couldnt be more excited for the next year or so to come!  Look forward to seeing more of you often while we are in Ontario!!!

our lives...ie work

well it's been a while since we have updated on our lives.  It's not that we forgot, or that we didnt want to share anything...it's just we have really only been working!  This month we have had some big groups in and have been working extra hard, and extra long!  We are enjoying all the work, and definitely finding it nice to be busy again.  So...since we dont have any interesting tour pictures to show you all, I figured I would share with you, where we spend all our time...at work!

the reason people come here...the rock.

As we continue to work over the next 5 months, we will also start our planning for our big adventure in August.  We plan on travelling for a month and a week, going to Cairns, Melbourne, Thailand, New Zealand and back to Sydney before we head back to Canada!  After that, gosh...who knows....we are still working on visas to come back here...but we have also been looking at other countries for options...or sticking around Canada for a while....who knows...All I know is that life is great right now, and it can only continue!
