This coming Monday my wife and I will be embarking on our Christmas Road Trip to Mackay to spend Christmas with her family. Usually we would just take to 2.5 hour flight north, but this year we decided to drive the 22 hours 2000km trip. Lucky for us we have some friends in Brisbane that we will be stopping in at to spend a few nights with.

Personally I can’t wait. The longest trip I’ve made was 18 hours in one go th Port Agusta, but this time we are stopping half way.

If you want to follow me you can do so by following me on Brightkite, Facebook or twitter. I will endeavor to update these sites as often as I can. Unfortunately I wont be using any GPS tracking software as I have an iPhone and it’s restriction to not allow apps to run in the background will prevent tracking from working correctly.

I should have written a post about this earlier, and I was going to, but I never did actually get around to it. Starting today, I’m going on a cruise to the South Pacific aboard the Pacific Sun.

We have just spent a night in a river view hotel in just out from the Brisbane CBD and I can see the ship from where I am now. I’m starting to get really excited and can’t wait to get on it.

The particular cruise that we are going on is called Week Fantastique which starts in Brisbane and goes to Noumea, Lifou, and Vila, then back to Brisbane after 7 nights.

I really can’t wait to get on the ship. I’ve never been on a cruise, so I have no idea what to expect, though I do know a few people who have been and say it’s great fun.

I’m planing on taking a lot of photo’s while I’m away, and will upload some of them when I get back home in a week.
