Itchy feet and upcoming travels

It's been nearly 18 months since I got back from my big trip and I haven't had a holiday since.  I've been embracing the Melbourne lifestyle of drinking, eating, drinking, eating and drinking without really leaving the city except for a couple of domestic trips.

I'm starting to get pretty itchy feet.

But it's all been to a purpose!

I'm taking another couple of trips this year so I've been saving up my annual leave from work to make a decent holiday out of it.

Trip 1:

Tasmania for a week in October.  I feel like Mum and I had been casually talking about going to Tas together for a couple of years to go visit Cradle Mountain but we hadn't actually organised anything.  #procrastination

Anyway.  Mum booked a bus tour via Intrepid and I've decided to tag along like the mummy's boy I am.  I'm not a huge fan of the lack of control I have on an organised itinerary but I'm sure it'll be fun.  I'll do a day or two either side of the bus trip.

So that's my first trip this year.  A nice little break.

Trip 2:

I'm taking 3 months off in December and doing a little trip to ANTARCTICA (plus Argentina, Colombia and Cuba).

I'm super duper looking forward to this!  Antarctica has been a bit of a dream destination for ages and I'm finally doing it!  I'm going with my friend Gail.  Should be amazing!

Following up Antarctica with a week or two in Argentina, a month or so in Colombia and maybe a week in Cuba.

Should be pretty epic, so look for some updates coming soon!
