Here you will find journal articles from travels to spots all over Australia. As the days pass more and more will be added, so make sure you check back often to see the new, beautiful places we visit.
Sydney Hospital
I recently got the opportunity to see the inside of a hospital abroad. After a pretty horrific end to a stunt I had to spend almost 3 weeks in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Severe Burns Unit. I was airlifted from a friend’s farm out near Dubbo, NSW to Sydney Royal North Shore’s emergency where I was treated for a laundry list of fractures, a couple lacerations and a pretty hefty chemical burn from lying in a puddle of gasoline for over 4 hours, along with a few other injuries.
Melbourne, Australia (trip 3)
December 26th, 2008
Now that all the Christmas formalities are done. I am packed and ready to head back to Australia where it is warm and there isn’t any SNOW! My buddy brings me and another friend down to the Amtrak station about a half hour from my place and we promptly get on and stuff our luggage on the shelf. We were running a bit late due to the lovely snowy weather in Michigan so we got there just as the train was pulling up. It is a 4 hour ride to Union Station in Chicago and goes without a hitch.
Melbourne, Australia (trip 1)
May 11 - 21, 2007
Now for the second leg of our flight. We flew out of Hong Kong the evening of May 10 on Cathay Pacific (www.cathaypacific.com) on an Airbus A-330 in First Class. We were pampered all the way! I was the only one awake on an overnight flight in the first class cabin so I felt like a king. Three flight attendants rotated through the cabin. The flight itself is 9 hours to Melbourne. We were almost diverted to Sydney due to seriously thick fog, but we just made it in time. Melbourne Airport (a.k.a. Tullamarine) (www.melbourneairport.com.au) was very easy to navigate and the people were very friendly.
Cirque du Soleil Dralion
April 10th, 2009
Last night I had the pleasure of seeing the Cirque du Soleil show “Dralion” in Melbourne, Australia and it was without a doubt one of the most fantastic shows I have ever seen! I have wanted to see their show live and after seeing so many of the others on video and I have to say it is even more stunning and spectacular in person.
