September 17th-21st(October 1st-5th) we will be in Sydney, Australia and we will get to hang out with some koalas, kangaroos and eat shrimp on the barbie (unless you are allergic to shellfish,we will have meat and vegetarian/vegan options as well)! We'll also spend some time getting acquainted with the city and going out for a cruise in one of the beautiful harbors in Sydney. We will be in a 4 star boutique hotel close to one of the harbors. Breakfast is included daily and we will have a Welcome Dinner plus two lunches. The 2026 Opera House schedule for September 2026 isn't out yet but we will have time to see a show (show at your own cost)! Optional things to do here are Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb, whale watching, shopping and hanging out on their wonderful beaches.
September 21st-25th (October 5th-9th) we will be in Auckland, New Zealand. We will catch a morning flight to Auckland (transportation to the airport provided). This part of the trip is looking like one of my favorites as I love Auckland! Our focus in New Zealand is learning about the Maori people, the city and getting into New Zealand w**e which is so divine! We'll explore the city, take a trip to another island, drink a lot of w**e and have an awesome time. Did I mention drinking w**e? We will be staying at a boutique hotel here that is in the city center close to the harbors, restaurants, shops, theaters and more. Breakfast is included daily and we will have two lunches and a dinner on this portion of the trip. Optional things to do here are the Auckland Bridge Climb (I am not doing this!), craft breweries, check out the Hobbiton set, local museums and more!
FYI if you love oysters......especially chargrilled ones, you'll love the ones we're eating in New Zealand!!!
September 25th-29th (October 9th-13th)we are going to my other home of Fiji! We will leave Auckland on the morning of the 25th headed out to Fiji (transportation to the airport provided). In Fiji we will learn about the culture, history of the Fijian people, their foods and more. We'll head out on a catamaran for some beach and swimming time plus head off road to explore an ancient cave used for cannibalism and other things. This portion of the trip is a bit fast paced as every day has an activity. We will have three dinners and two lunches plus breakfast daily. We will be staying at an apartment style hotel close to restaurants, shops and activities. Apartment has washing machine in your unit and there's a pool on site for your convenience.

Payment dates: January 15th, February 15th, March 15th, April 15th, May 15th, June 15th, July 1st (1/7 payments)This trip has a lot of moving parts, flights, countries, entry requirements, terrains, weather patterns (spring time in Sydney with days at 70+ degrees and nights in the 50+, Auckland expect 65+ in the day and 50+ at night, Fiji expect 85+ days and 70+ at night). You'll need to be able to roll with the punches and be in some type of shape to walk as Auckland and Sydney both have HILLS....not like Portugal but enough to start working out now! This trip is intentionally small on purpose as and I would like to keep it small for cohesion. Bring your good vibes!I Sydney, Australia focus is on nature and animals, Auckland's theme is w**e and culture and we'll end in Fiji with relaxation, local culture and food!
See you soon!
