Way back in August I wrote a post about Creating an Adventure List. Essentially I wrote down on a pad all the places I want to see and visit in Florida. I have a list for destinations around the world that I’ll post on this site here at some point. Each year I review this list and plan where I want to go next. And I’m excited to say announce that the destination for 2010 is going to be…

Australia!

What do you think? I think it’s absolutely fantastic.

Australia has always been on my list of places to visit. This is going to be a vacation of a lifetime. Brian and I have been saving for a year already, and have another whole year to save to do this right. We may never return to the Land Down Under again so this vacation has to be one to remember. I’m even more excited to be sharing every step of our planning process here on adventureswithben.com

Here’s what we’ve done so far to plan this trip:

• Brian bought me a travel book to Australia

That’s it.

I know it’s not much, but we have lots of time to figure out the rest of the details. And there’s a lot we need to do to prepare. I’ve been saving my frequent flier miles on Delta. I have about 234,000. That should be enough to get us there and back in the fall. We’d like to go Scuba Diving in the Great Barrier Reef. So this summer we’re going to try to take lessons. And should we trek out to Ayers Rock, I might need to learn how to drive a stick. Surf lessons on the Gold Coast may require some getting in shape for an Australian Swimming Costume (bathing suit). All of that, plus figuring out how to plan a trip like this should make for some great content here.

You’ll be able to follow along every step of the way by becoming a fan of adventureswithben on facebook. You can do it here.

So what do you think of our choice of country? What’s your dream vacation destination? Comment below.
