Big Aussie Adventure 2010 Begins...


...with a surprisingly mild case of jet lag after a great flight on VAustralia (Virgin's subsidiary that flies between LAX and Australia), a shower in the Virgin Lounge at the Brisbane Airport, and a really long layover here before boarding a flight for Hamilton Island and Tourism Australia's 2010 Corroboree, the 3 day annual conference for Aussie Specialist travel agents and their partners in the tourism industry.

After hobnobbing with industry types for a few days, we're off to Melbourne and a few nights exploring the Great Ocean Road and The Grampians (a stunning wilderness area about 3 hours from Melbourne - popular with Aussies, largely unexplored by Americans) before spending a week getting reacquainted with Tasmania. It promises to be a big adventure, and not just for the other cars on the road when I'm driving through mountains on the left hand side.

I'll post updates and observations throughout. It's great to be back in Oz, and we can't wait to get out of the airport and get going.
