This is Kelly's shark selfie in Belize, but we're looking forward to coming back with many more underwater adventures after our Great Barrier Reef Scuba Dive Trip!

We'll both fly into Australia and then hop over to New Zealand afterward before returning to the states!

This is the big kahuna! Cairns is recognized worldwide as THE number one place to catch a giant black marlin. Cross your fingers as we hope to live out Nate's dream of catching one of the fastest and most sought-after big game fish.

So excited to get to Aukland and try this ice cream recommendation!

We're going to be taking classic road tripping routes on the New Zealand portion of our vacation! Let's see how we fare on the left side of the road!

dun dun… dun dun…. dun dun….get ready for Jaws in real life!

Who wouldn't want to get dropped off on a glacier via helicopter?!?!?! Oh and I guess we have to figure out how to climb it shortly thereafter....

Most of this trip has been planned based off the recommendations of friends and family! Please feel free to contribute any other suggestions! We’ve got some time to plan!

Who doesn't want to see the Shire by day and night followed by a banquet feast fit for a Hobbit™ served inside The Green Dragon™ Inn? No admittance except on party business my friends!

Who's ready to see Nate back on bike! We're ready to spend a lazy afternoon tasting wine and biking through New Zealand's famed Marlborough region.

A jetboat ride on Waikato River with trick turns and amazing scenery!

A tour of the iconic Sydney Opera House!

A scenic cruise on the spectacular Milford Sound!

Raft through underground rapids and waterfalls...all in a cave system full of glowworms!

Mario Kart in real life! Take your mark, get set, and bet that Kelly will beat Nate down the mountain!

The world’s tallest bungy jump...and Nate's fear of heights - here we come!

Swimming with dolphins! Kelly's ready to live out her Flipper dreams!

Another recommendation - and supposedly, the best burger we'll ever eat! There's some stiff competition...

For this portion of the trip, we'll leave our first vehicle behind. Then, cross over to the South Island of New Zealand on one of the most beautiful ferry crossings in the world.

We ate at Nobu this year and had the best sushi of our lives... Let's see how Australia stacks up!

After a three mile hike, we'll stay the night in this iconic New Zealand hut (or something like it depending on availability...this one books out fast!)

We're ready to see Kangeroo Island up close!

After spending the day in Sydney walking the Royal Botanic Gardens and touring the Opera House, we're excited about relaxing on a twilight dinner cruise in the harbor!

After a couple days diving and deep sea fishing, we're ready for some beach relaxation!
