Nice!, its going to come around quick... Yea I hadn't thought about the things like drinks on the flight which could make it a lot more bearable. Nice yea the Gold Coast does look good. Yep is very work dependent on location, I do want to end up in Cairns at some point and need to make more of a plan as I don't have much set at the moment but would also like to see some of the Suburbs and would like to visit Broome and Tasmania if I have time.
Are you stopping anywhere on the way to Australia? Got any activities booked/planned already for while you are there?
