RE: MAUI NOMADS!
Are they on Steemit or do you know of places they absolutely demand need to be seen? :) We are always looking for direction and unique spots as we get ready to travel!
Thanks for all your comments and thoughts @etcmike!
My Australian friends live in Alice Springs, Austraila. They raised all their kids there.
We keep in touch via snail mail. Before Facebook there were post-cards :) Over the past 25 years I have gotten many post cards from them and have seen their entire family twice when they came back to the states.
They are in their late 50's and do not travel as much, it's mostly following their kids around these days.
When they went to Thailand many years ago (something like 20 years ago) they took a "junk" out to several of the islands. The pictures (film back then) were incredible.
In Australia there is Sidney, excursions to the Great Barrier Reef, and Ayer's Rock just to name a few. But those are mostly tourist locations. With the internet and Google Maps you can explore so much more than in the days when we just had atlases and maps to go by. Thinking about it now, paper copy atlases and maps seems so ancient and antiquated. At least we weren't carrying around stone tablets. Now-a-days people can carry around electronic tablets that access so much more information.
Over my lifetime I have known several people who went to New Zealand. I think it might even be better than Australia. There is so much there. Glaciers, volcanoes, and absolutely beautiful landscapes (Lord of the Rings was filmed there). Except for the glaciers, it may remind you a bit of Hawaii.
There is so much out there in the world that is at your finger tips and within reach these days. Planning is just half the fun, the rest is the experiences you gain and the memories you share. Those things last a lifetime.
Steem on,
Mike
Cool thank you for all the info! Yes, technology makes it much easier to navigate around the world :)
I think I'm most excited for New Zealand, Cody has been there once before, cycled all around the south island and raves about it. I have a friend living in Melbourne, and Cody has lots of family around Australia as well.
Always getting as many tips and destinations as possible!
