Yesterday, Agathe and I decided that it was time to really start preparing March, April and May – the three months we will be actively traveling.

And we made good progress.

March will be dedicated to traveling in Australia. We think it will consist of Tasmania, Darwin and Sydney. Though the crocodiles and rainy season might see Darwin traded for Western Australia – to be decided!

April will be New Zealand. Auckland to Christchurch by camper van. Yeah baby.

And May will be Thailand. Bangkok. 10 day silent meditation retreat in the south. And who knows what else.

Anyway, once we were finished chatting about these months of travel and excitement at the Bridie O’Reilly’s pub on Chapel Street we were walking back to our apartment and decided to pass through the library to see what they had on offer to help us plan what to actually do once we arrived in these different places.

Among the books we found were:

– 1,000 places to visit, Australia
– 100 nature walks, Tasmania
– Landscape photography
– A beginner’s guide to T.S. Eliot (I enjoy reading and learning about such things)
and
– A two inch thick biography of Napoleon (we can guess who chose that one 😉

Our momentum is building for these trips! As is our excitement as is our ability to write about travel experiences on this travel blog. By the time we hit the trail in March we will be FULL ON travel mode.

Yet we are still embracing each day as wholly as we can too – before you know it Melbourne will be a place and time of the past. As will these trips. Subject to the same dreamlike quality once as all other things that have come and passed…

Such is life. Enjoy this day!
