It would be a shame to go to Australia and not sample their local wines! While in Brisbane, we're planning to spend a day touring the nearby wineries.

While researching things to do on our trip, we came across the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, where you can cuddle a koala! Kristin will probably be going through Calder withdrawal, and this should help.

The first leg of our Australian adventure has us staying in Brisbane, Queensland. We're sure to arrive jet lagged and would love to be able to order room service from our hotels top-notch restaurants or indulge in a massage!

Everyone knows we love to eat! And they say the couple that cooks together, stays together -- so help us sharpen our skills!
