Goin’ to a Land Down Under

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

AJ heads off to the land of OZ. With koalas, kangaroos, boomerangs and a few  “G’day Mate”s leading the way, our group departs this weekend for 2 weeks to Australia.  And then, for many, another week follows to the land of kiwis, adventure and spectacular landscapes throughout New Zealand.

Soon, we’ll be snorkeling at The Great Barrier Reef, climbing The Sydney Harbour Bridge, tour The Sydney Opera House, safari-ing in the saavannah with ‘roos, emus and koalas, and exploring Ayres Rock in the true Outback. 

Its trips like this that give true meaning to the words “amazing journey”.

Stay tuned for highlights…

Kangaroos, Koalas and Emus…Oh My!

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Over 50 exhausted but totally thrilled Amazing Journeyers just returned home after a memorable and just plain “billabong” awesome tour to the Land Down Under.

For 15 days (for some, it was 18 days with the added land tour to Cairns and The Great Barrier Reef) we cooed at Koalas, went face-to-face with kangaroos in the wild, went wine tasting, penguin viewing, pub crawling, sheep herding, and trainspotting on one of the most beautiful train rides in the world. We climbed the Sydney Bridge and toured the Sydney Opera House, inside and out…and partied at a truly remarkable New Years Eve celebration aboard our cruise ship, Celebrity Millenium. There we danced under the stars, chugged champagne, and watched fireworks over the skyline of Melbourne, while exchanging hugs and kisses at the first stroke of midnight in 2009 throughout all of planet earth.

Thanks to those who joined us for some true on-the-barbie fun over New Years.

Goin’ to a Land Down Under

Monday, December 15th, 2008

To bring in the New Year, Amazing Journeys is headed to Australia and New Zealand in just a few days. Hanukkah “down under” will be in the offing too! Fifty two excited travelers from 16 US states and 6 countries around the world will embark the Celebrity Millenium in Auckland, New Zealand on Sunday for what is going to be a truly amazing journey to some of the most exciting landscape and funloving cultures in the world. We have a lot planned for our group, including jet boating in New Zealand, kangaroo & koala safari in the Australian savannah, a tour of the Sydney Opera House and snorkeling in The Great Barrier Reef. There’s so much to see and do; this wondrous land is hard to describe in words alone.

And then…we get to celebrate New Year’s on a cruise ship and that is really something special!

 

As we bid adieu to America for a while, from our family & friends to yours….Happy Hanukkah…and a Happy Healthy Prosperous New Year!
G’day Mate!
