Life as I have known it in Sydney has come to an end. Last night was my final evening working at the Summit Restaurant. Last night was my final night living in my share house. This morning I officially become a traveling nomad!
The plan: I leave this morning for the Gold Coast. I am spending the day there. Then my friend Natasha is flying in and we are going to Byron Bay, and then to Coff's Harbor where we will spend the holidays with her family. I will return to Sydney on January 28th and remain here for New Years (I can't wait to see the fireworks show!). Then on January 2nd I am flying to New Zealand to meet Laura, my sis, in Auckland. We have rented a car and together will travel around the north and south islands. Afterwards, I will fly to Cairns. I have purchased a hop-on, hop-off bus pass and intend to travel down the east coast stopping along the way at numerous towns and tourists hot spots including Magnetic Island, Fraiser Island and the Whitsunday Islands. Then I'm coming home on February 8th, and bringing along with me Natasha. She has always dreamed of 1) going to New York and 2) seeing snow, so this was the perfect opportunity for her to do both.
Because of my travels, I'm not sure how much access I will have to a computer and/or Internet. However, through it all I am going to try and continue to update you all! So please continue to check back to my blog, just with the understanding that the quality of the blogs may decrease slightly as I will probably be giving a rushed account of my journeys. But I will post, I promise. Until then- Bon Voyage!!

Sarah,
I feel like I'm reading the last page of a really good book that I wished would never end. (i.e. Eat, Pray, Love) However, in this case I know there is a sequel coming out really soon. (i.e. Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace With Marriage) Yeah! So much more to look forward to. Safe and happy travels!

P.S. I didn't actually read the above-mentioned Elizabeth Gilbert books, but I did listen to the audio versions in my car and enjoyed them a lot.
Love you, Sarah! Godspeed! xxoo Mom

Sarah, being taken along on this amazing journey has been a thrill. Any new posts will be welcomed like an old friend. Safe travels and grand adventures to you from now until you return home. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Despite the miles between, you are in our hearts and minds as we celebrate the holidays. Love, Greg
Hey Sarah;
I just can't believe your Aussie adventure is over. I have really enjoyed reading your blog and think you should go into the tour guide business or something like it! I LOVED ALL the pics too!
Enjoy New Zealand w/Laura and all the spots along the way. If you see any penguins or royal albatroses, I hope you will get some great pics.
Happy New Year, safe travels, and enjoy all your adventures along the way.
Love;
Lynn
