    Christmas Visit/Present

    OKAY, so Matt's coming over in less than three months. SUPER exciting, I know.

    Any who, I have just booked his Christmas present. (Now, I know that he never looks at this site, despite being a member, so I am sure he won't see this.) And... I thought I would share it with you all, because I feel it something for LDR couples to do once they close the distance for a short period of time. See, Matt and I will only see each other once a year if we stay on opposite sides of the world since I'm at university and he's looking for jobs there. He can't really rely on a one year working visa to Australia for the rest of his life, so he's figuring out how to migrate. We'll see how that all goes.

    Back to the present.

    It is... Roar & Snore at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. Coolest present ever, right? Seriously - go have a look at the details. I'm so happy! I didn't want to get him something he had to take back with him, because luggage will be a hassle anyway. So, yeah. I figured a day-and-a-half experience would do the trick.

    For those of you who can't be bothered clicking on the link above, here's what you get to do in this program:
    6.15pm: Arrival (please do not arrive early as the Zoo is closed to general visitors). Head down to campsite
    6.45pm: Snack and nibbles
    7.00pm: Get up close and personal with some of the Zoos friendliest creatures (great photo opportunity)
    7:45pm: Buffet dinner served
    9.00pm: Zoo night Safari, enjoy the animals and the amazing harbour views
    10.00pm: Dessert & Tea, Coffee.
    11.00pm: Camp lights out....there is an early start!
    6.15am: Rise and shine -- early, I know.
    6:30am: Continental breakfast
    7.30am: Behind the scenes tour number 1
    8.00am: Behind the scenes tour number 2
    9.00am: Program finished. You are welcome to spend the rest of the day exploring the Zoo.


    How much fun does that sound?!

    Aww that's awesome. Some of my friends had the opportunity to do something similar a few months back. The zoo by their home had a birthday party for one of the animals, and they had a blast doing the behind the scenes stuff, even if it wasn't an overnight.

    I think you'll both have a blast. Of course, my first thought was "wouldn't it be cold?" and then I remember that Christmas is in the summer time for Australia.

    If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion...love actually is all around

                      Hahahaha! Oh, Andy. This could go on forever.

                      But, do you like the idea?

                      Wait, what does Tanja think?!

                          Ok, that sounds so amazingly fun! I'd like to do something like that for my sweetie, but we don't have that at our zoo - darn! What a terrific, unique present!
