Ready for liftoff!

Welcome to our brand new travel blog! Both Caz and I have kept up travel journals in the past, but with our first great adventure as a traveling team on the horizon, we needed a fresh place to record our journey. And thus, Taylor Made For A Saturday Knight!

Here's a little background. Caz and I met while we were working at Coronet Peak ski field in Queenstown, New Zealand. We went our separate ways from there, but the beginning of this year found us together again in Melbourne, Australia. From swimming to swing dancing to triple-decker PB&Js, we've managed to have a lot of fun as we worked like crazy. Now the payoff has come!

Our plans are as follows: on Monday we will take a car and drive the Great Ocean Road, then divert inland to Adelaide. From there we'll take a 25 hour train ride to the very center of the country, Alice Springs. A 4WD campervan waits for us there, and we'll road trip it through the outback, with stops at Ayers Rock and Kakadu National Park. We'll drop off the car in Darwin and fly to Cairns on the east coast. In Cairns we're signed up for a 5 day scuba diving certification course out on the Great Barrier Reef. Then, joined by our friends Vinny and Shaina, we'll hit the road again to cruise down the coast. After a brief stop in Brisbane, we'll end the trip in Sydney, taking a few days to see the sights before heading back to Melbourne.

It's quite a trip, so watch this space! Great things lie ahead!
