Definitely the dermatology thing. You get to save the four weeks for later on, and believe me, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for travel. Australia has loads of cheap charter flights and other ways of getting around. Yeah, you won’t get quite the overall down time that you would if you were just traveling, but unless you’re going to really go all out on the laidback backpacking scene, I’m not certain Australia will have enough to occupy you for the entire month. A friend of mine spent seven months working Australia and New Zealand, but she was still able to learn how to scuba dive, go to Ayers rock, do the Nevis jump, etc. while working.

thanks for the advice.
this was the way i was looking at things too. My big problem with AUS is that it will be around 40 degrees Celcius in January. Anyway, i’m trying to find a dermatologist to work with right now.
Go to Australia … i might be “there” at the same time and could try to organize a game with my former playing group :)

are you serious??
I know you’ve been there before. I’d love to hook up and see some of the country with a fellow traveller (as opposed to just being another tourist).

Cripes, you pick some bad ways to spend your time off.

LOL… what would YOU do then, Wonder Bread Boy?? Go to Six Flags? Throw a barn yard kegger?? :lol: :lol:
Hey, Stuka, don’t ever diss the barnyard kegger… ;)
I’d say hitch-hike around the Caribbean. I mean, warm weather, beautiful beaches, hot babes… plenty to do there. You can always study dermatology later ;).
I’ve decided to spend the whole month as vacation and work later instead. So much for “delayed gratification” . . . .
Oh yeah - and marine 36 - what would YOU do with the time off? Besides run amuck with a pretend gun, pretending to shoot people?
Wow, CC, could you possibly sound more vindictive and childish? :-?
If you’re going for total vacation, I stand by the Caribbean, or possibly touring Australia.

really?
Was that a good one? 'Cuz i really wasn’t trying.

tix from Winnipeg to Sydney - $1500 round trip. Now what to do when i get there . . . ?
To start off, I would host a three day paintball war. :D kegs would come after that. :)
I voted Aust/ NZ hike/walkabout…
I would lean more to the NZ hike as I have seen documentaries that showed NZ has mountains, deserts, cliffs, great seasides plains…
for an island its got a lot of beauty.
Of course America hasn’t reallly littered it with tourists and trash yet.
As for my ideal vac…

that’s what i’m talkin’ about
- Washington, DC(heritage) and surrrounding vicinity for Am. Civil war history.
been there, done that. Loved Harper’s ferry . . . .
- Philly, NYC and New England states for Revolutionary War history.
in January? Are you INSANE?? I might as well . . . well,
i guess that’s not soooo terrible. but No.
- A Mediterranean cruise, spend a week in Espana(Hola, chica! :) ), a week in Italia(Caio, bella! :) ) some time in Morocco and Egypt(Support your local Mullah! :o ).
more of a spring/fall thing for me.
Come to Rhode Island. Theres lots to do here… really.

Thought you were in Jersey… 'sides we are already flooded by Bostonians and Nyorkers… Before you suggest someone visit please push Legislation to apply a toll for entering are state so they will stop walking all over us and costing us taxes to deal with the roads…
GG
I’d say anything in NZ or Aus. Not many people can say they have visited that corner of the earth.
Sorry c c,
I wasn’t meaning you or being January specific.
Hey! I heard a few years ago about a train ride IN CANADA
straight north from somwhars around Michigan (Sorry for the USan ref, but…you know.) that was scenic. The photos I saw were autumn weather…leaves changing!! No short ride either… it was 100-150+ miles one way. Granted it ain’t a monthlong trip, but it sounded like a good way to show FAMILY the beauty of Canada(before you ruin it completely!) Hard to keep the kids interested for long without a boyfriend, phone, amusement park, computer/Xbox/Nintendo games or fav TV show.
Kids! Nothing personal against anyone under 30 and single reading this. :)
Thought you were in Jersey…
Attending Providence College right now.
Why, are you from Rhode Island GG?
