After a 36 hour travel day (including an 18 hour lay over in Bangkok!) we arrived in Melbourne on the afternoon of April 26. The change in flight schedule left us only 24 hours in Melbourne, which we used to ride the tram, walk around the waterfront and visit the Melbourne Cricket Grounds.

Today (April 27) we flew into cairns and are excited for the next couple of days where we will visit the Daintree Rain forest and the Great Barrier Reef!

We are management consultants from San Francisco. We travel a whole lot for work, but that is nowhere near as much fun as traveling together to countries we have always wanted to visit. We embarked on a 3 month trip around the Asia Pacific in 2012, and used this blog to post pictures and (some) comments for friends and family that want to follow our travels, including our 2-3 week trip around India in an auto-rickshaw! Nearly a year from our 3 month trip, we have again hit the road for a "de-toxing" trip into the mountains and valleys of Patagonia in Argentina and Chile...... full info

Flights
A few days before our departure from Bombay to Melbourne (via Bangkok), Thai Airways cancelled their morning flight from Bangkok to Melbourne. That left us with only their redeye which left at midnight the next day. Our 3 hr delays turned into a 18 hr delay in Bangkok. Caused us to lose an entire day, kinda lame
