Is there one special place on this Earth that you’ve always wanted to visit but have never been able to? I have a place like that, and it’s Australia. Ever since I was a child I’ve wanted to go there at least once. I’ve never been able to go, though, mainly because of money. I always thought I could never afford a trip to Australia. I have decided however, that I am going to do just that. Afford myself a vacation to Australia. I’ve already started looking up prices of hotels so that I’ll be able to calculate roughly how much it’s going to cost.

In planning my Australia vacation I decided that one place I absolutely MUST visit is Sydney. I’ve already made my list of things I want to do while I’m there. Something I cannot miss doing no matter what is taking a Cruise around Sydney Harbour. I also want to take the boat to Manly. Fortunately for me, Sydney Hotels are actually quite affordable. I’ll be able to get really nice accomodations for under $100 USD per night. Excellent.

Another must see is Melbourne. I have to visit the Melbourne Zoo. I’ve heard so many great things about it, and I know my son would absolutely love to visit. Another place I’d like to visit in Melbourne is LUna Park. It looks like so much fun! Accomodations in Melbourne aren’t bad either, and I’ve found quite a few Melbourne Hotels that I could afford to stay in with excellent ratings and reviews. I always check the reviews of any hotel before I make a reservation.

I also will have to visit Brisbane, Australia. I simply cannot miss a trip to The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary while I’m in Australia. That would almost be criminal! My son is a big animal lover, too, so he’d be upset if we missed this stop. Brisbane Hotels are fairly priced and I’ll definitely be able to afford to stay there for at least a few days and enjoy the scenery. There are several other places I’d like to visit while in Australia, I just don’t know how long I’ll be able to afford to stay. At least the hotels aren’t over priced, and I’ll be sure to find decent accomodations while on my trip.

If it’s not one thing, it’s another. I am so frustrated right now. I mean, it’s not a BIG deal, I guess, but it seems like there’s always something breaking, or something that needs to be replaced. I just replaced my son’s computer, because his other one died in a freak lightning storm, and then his dresser decided it didn’t want to stand up anymore and it just sort of crumbled. I mean, granted the dresser had been through a lot, what with the flooding of our old apartment and having been moved so much. Not to mention that it was, in fact, a hand-me-down of my cousin’s. My aunt gave it to us a little over 2 years ago when she moved away. Anyways, so I finally got him a new dresser and about an hour after we got the dresser all set up his television decided to bite the dust. Grr!! It’s always something!
