Back in Canada
Wow! Where did the time go!
Nine months ago we left Canada on an Australian adventure. Well, nine months has past and we have had an amazing time and interesting adventures. More importantly, we made some spectacular friends; to all of you - Thank You! -.
Some people are probably wondering why only nine months and not twelve like we originally planned. Well, it wasn't a simple decision, but after much deliberating it was decided that an early departure was the best. It came to several things, first me legal contract time was up. This means I worked for six months with one company. Second, we didn't have a car, nor did we have the money to get one. Third, money. Even though we had both been working for six months, we just didn't have a lot saved up.
-- A word of warning to anyone with student loans and other debt, save a lot of money. Sure you can find work and get a decent wage, but after the dollar exchange it you send a lot of money home. My advice, save enough to pay your debts for the entire time your there. --
With everything taken into consideration, the last factor was timing; It was December. We decided we wanted to be home for Christmas.
For all our Australian friends and readers, keep reading a bit longer, we will be posting some great winter photos for your enjoyment.
Again, thank you to everyone for making our time memorable.
