Mosi'ing Around the World

I know I've said this a lot, but the Gold Coast seriously makes me want to move here if it wasn't so far away. We loved Cairns, but I think the Gold Coast may have just taken the #1 spot for us. Everything here is so relaxed, with an emphasis on being on the water whenever possible. There's creeks, beaches, and rock pools... the beautiful hinterland with amazing National Parks is only an hour's drive away... great diving is an hour or so away depending on where you go... easy access to Brisbane and all the islands around it... the list could go on for the Gold Coast. Oh, and no crocodiles or deadly jellyfish like Cairns :) Although we still love Cairns... and that lagoon!

It's hard for me to believe we've been here over a month already! It's officially been 35 days traveling, and we still don't have a return ticket, so you never know... (just kidding for all the parents... we will be back in March, I promise)! Our sticker collection is growing! Our impressions of Australia remain the same, we love it here. If it wasn't so far away I would consider moving here. Out of the cities we've been in, we both still really love Cairns, but the Sunshine Coast (where we've been the last week and a half) would be a close second. Basically we should eventually live near the ocean :) Preferably one with great scuba diving, another area Australia excels in. I thought in this post I could share some pics from the last week or so, but also talk about some differences in Australia we've noticed and how our plan is going so far.
