Ready or Not. Here it comes….life that is.

Is that normal life I see in the distance? Ahhhhhhh….it just might be. Although to call our lives normal to any extent is probably a bit misleading. I'm not even sure what a normal life is these days.

We haven’t posted anything in a while so I wanted to give our followers a quick update.

Eight months and twenty-eight days later I bring the unfortunate news that our Honeymoon has come to an end. Over these last 8+ months we’ve traveled 108,000 kilometers (67,500 miles) through 20 countries, stayed in over 75 different hotels and resorts and taken 18,000 photos of the most amazing people and places in the world. We had such a great time and feel so blessed to have undergone such an amazing experience. Our lives will never be the same again.

On Friday, the 27^th of April, we moved into our new apartment here in the Gold Coast.  We were super stoked to land a high-rise flat with ocean views that we can call our home. I think it’s ironic that we just finished a huge trip staying at 75+ hotels, only to find ourselves living in a hotel. You’d think we’d be sick of it by now, but I guess not.

Thanks so much to everyone who followed us around the world for the last 8+ months. We’ve been super lucky to have such great family and friends who’ve supported us the whole time. In the near future we’ll be coming out with some additional articles of our favourite places, how we actually planned and executed this mammoth honeymoon and how we spent and where we saved money along the way.

What’s Next?

The bags won't stay unpacked for long. Travel is in our relationship DNA. We met traveling, married on a holiday and have spent the better part of our first year of marriage on the road. We’re by no means done traveling and have already booked our flights to North America next February and are seriously considering a trip back to the Maldives in October. In the near term we’ll be taking some weekend trips from the Gold Coast to places like the Sunshine Coast, North Stradbroke Island, Byron Bay and many more.

We’re both now looking for jobs with some good prospects on the horizon. Our blog will continue as we have a lot of writing to catch up on. We will eventually focus our efforts on posting articles based on our new area here on the Gold Coast of Australia. There’s so much to see and do in the Gold Coast and surrounding areas that we’ll have plenty to write about. Hopefully it will encourage our friends and family to visit more often.

Stay tuned for what will hopefully be some regular articles.

Cheers for Now –

Pamela and Dave
