Welcome to Janet & Randy's 2008 Australian Adventure

Welcome to our 2008 Australian Adventure, as you may have already seen, Janet keeps a Journal of her travels.  This has been happening for quite some time.  Janet had in the past had written by hand her previous travel journals.  We started keeping our Journal online ever since we went to Kauai in 2001 (Hapa + Haole @ Lawai).  Since then we have developed some of our other Vacation stories Click here for our Other Trips/Stories.

The planning of the 5-week trip was about a year and half in the making.  Janet had developed several itineraries of places to go, places to stay, how we were going to get there, what are we going to see, what is there to do, etc... Countless hours searching for information on the internet, and many discussions later... it led to this.  The trip of a life time and to an amazing 5 weeks worth of adventures. .

There were 2 prime objectives with this trip.  We wanted to get back to Australia, and it just so happens this will be the 10th Anniversary of our first trip (see  Janet & Randy's South Pacific Voyage 1998 ) The other main reasons for going was to try some other adventures and to see some of our friends that we haven't seen in quite some time. 

Randy has inserted his 2 cents worth as well (just to keep Janet honest and to embellish his version of the details).
