Hey – thanks for visiting our travel blog.

It’s been almost exactly two years since we last wrote something on adamandanna.com. The last post was from our previous trip to Australia and New Zealand, and now we’re heading back.

“Why go back to Australia and New Zealand,” is a question we get asked often. Our answer is simple: it’s beautiful, it’s fun, there’s of adventure still to have there, and it’s also a special place to us. It’s where we first met, and we have a lot of great memories there.

Before we get there, however, we’re spending five days in (not-so) sunny Anaheim, California at a real estate convention. It’s the last bit of real work I have to do this year. Come Tuesday, we’ll be on a plane and headed for Auckland.

So thanks for visiting. This time around we will do our best to supply more stories, photos, and maybe even videos than we did last time.

Hey, thanks for visiting.

Anna and I have been slowly putting together plans for our big trip, and feeling our excitement starting to boil like my Anglo-Saxon/Viking skin in the sun. Actually, we’ve both been enjoying a summer in the deep south (Alabama), so to say that I don’t have a bit of a tan already would be a lie. Life has been good for this Campbell clan lately and it’s about to get even better!

For those interested, our rough itinerary (as best as we’ve figured so far) is as follows:

1. Take an awkward series of flights to Australia – Huntsville, AL > Charlotte, NC > Los Angeles, CA > Brisbane, Australia.
2. Head up to Maroochydore (Sunshine Coast) for a week or two to get our bearings and make further plans. And to do nothing on the beach.
3. With possession of our own vehicle, head north over the next month or until Cairns and surrounding environs.
4. Head west to the Red Centre – Uluru (Ayers Rock), Alice Springs, etc.
5. Head south and reach Adelaide.
6. Start moving back east, moving closer and further from the coastline as we try to visit Melbourne, Broken Hill, Canberra, and maybe even Tasmania if we can swing it.
7. Head back north and spend a few days in Sydney visiting friends.
8. Back up to Brisbane and Sunshine Coast to spend some time with Ryan and Christen Kirk (hopefully!).
9. Take a flight to NZ and start the tour there… this is where the plans are pretty foggy.

We only have 2.5 months to cover those 8 stages, so hopefully we can fit it all in. More to come as we prepare!
