Trip to Australia was amazing, wonderful and way too short. I'm thinking it is a good idea to travel to the southern hemisphere when it is the dead of winter in the northern hemisphere. If there was enough $$ and I had my own plane I think I would travel so that I never had to spend more than a few days in winter. Get a small snow fix and then ZOOM back to 80+ degrees F. Ahhhhh!
