We spent 12 days in a caravan (class B RV) it was our transportation, hotel and restaurant as we made a loop from Sydney to Melbourne then back to Sydney, 2,803 km. Using the G'Day app we were able to find parks along the way, in the Blue Mountains, Kosciuszko National Park, and Alpine National Parks. We stayed in Melbourne at Lilydale caravan park for three nights and toured Melbourne during the day. Then made three overnight stops at Woodbine caravan part, Eden Gateway, Coral Tree and ending in Sydney the night before our New Zealand cruise.

Hawaii, Fiji and Sydney in 12 days
We spend 4 days each in Hawaii, Fiji and Sydney next we are renting a caravan and going from Sydney to Melbourne. These three places were great and 4 days each were enough for Pam and I. We walked Waikiki and Fiji beaches many times looking at their differences, touristy as compared to natural beauty.

Back home, Spanish Fort, Alabama for the holidays
We took almost a month on the cruise ship to return to California, then we flew to Alabama. We had so much fun on the ship. Being home for two months was wonderful! We had Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas meals and hugged family. Making Christmas cookies was fun and making smores over the camp fire.
We left home in January with a 10-month plan broken into three parts: Hawaii to the Great wall, Southeast Asia, and Europe ending with a cruise home in November.
