The time has come to wrap up some of my previous posts!
Expenses
Expenses for our Australian Rendezvous has rounded out to approximately 4,000 dollars. This is for everything. Thanks to our very kind Aussie cousins they are helping with costs a ton by housing and feeding us for the proximity of our potential time spent there.
Time
Originally in my blog, my parents and I had planned to take our trip spring of 2017. Realistically that didn't not insure that we'd be able to spend the time we would want when we go. So officially we've decided to plan our trip for Christmas break of 2017-2018. The plan is to be in Australia for a little under 3 weeks.
Location/Flights/Transportation
Fly out of Billings, MT, then we will book our flights using the multi-city flight plan which will allow for a 4 to 5 day stop in Honolulu before continuing on to Melbourne. In Melbourne Rod and Jo or Ross and Sarah will pick us up from the airport. From the airport we would be driven by our fam to their home near a city of 25,000 called Wangaratta. When leaving to come home the Cavill's would see us off at Melbourne and homebound we'd be. Our flights back would not consist of a stop in Hawaii, but rather the faster route to Billings.
Activity
We will spend the majority of our time with the Cavills just catching up and meeting everyone. They've told us they have lots to keep us busy with when we come visit. Towards the end of our stay we plan to rent a vehicle and drive out to the coast. Then a day or two before heading home we plan to tour Melbourne a bit. We may go to the zoo, an aquarium, really anything could happen (including getting robbed).
Victoria is the province in the bottom right corner that's where we'll be.
It's been a blast writing this blog and brainstorming on this trip. I have learned so much and can't wait to put my ideas into practice.
Your trip sounds super cool! I remember your story about how you came into contact with them and was super interesting. Is the majority of your expenses in plane tickets? Do you all have passports? Also, do they speak fairly good English?
ReplyDeleteThank you Christian, it was definitely unique how we came into contact haha! Meeting them has been a huge highlight in my life and also hearing their cool accents. So to answer you, yes they do speak English very well but it's just their accents that is hard to understand. My parents have passports and I did have one, but it expired so I'm getting a new one. Also you are correct in thinking the majority of expenses is in plane tickets! Very expensive but there are deals to be found if you look. Thanks for the comment.
