Australia (City, Beach & Barrier)
Coffee everywhere! So much better than in the United States. I had given up caffeine, but well worth it to sip flat whites and cappuccinos for a few weeks.

to & from
- American/Qantas direct flights to Sydney from Dallas and LAX.
- Try to take a Quantas flight vs American –nicer planes and a week before your flight you can bid for Business or Premium economy. I was able to get Business one way over for $750 additional vs original $3,000 price and was well worth it to arrive rested and be able to tour all day.
- Rented car in Melbourne to do Great Ocean Drive, Tasmania and to tour various places. Once you get used to driving on opposite side of road with the windshield wipers and turn signals reversed it’s a breeze. Make a special request for GPS and an automatic car. I booked all my cars through Eurostar online and had no issues.
