This year Joel and I are off on a big adventure- we'll be spending a year away living and working in Australia. We're going February 6 on a Work and Play Visa, which allows us to work as much as we want there to supplement our travel. We're starting out in Surfers Paradise, which is right on the Gold Coast near Brisbane. The plan is to find jobs, rent an apartment and live there for the first six months, with some side travel of course. From the on... where ever the wind takes us (and our wallets...)!
We started off 2012 in Banff with Dewey (my sister), Dean (Joel's BFF) and their respective dates. NYE in Banff was cold and busy. The main street gets closed off in the evening for pedestrians and everyone hoards there to watch the fireworks. We got there at eleven and didn't want to stand outside for an hour so headed to the only place with no cover- McDonalds. Before midnight we headed outside. It was so cool to be in the mountains and here the fireworks boom around us.

The first day of the year was spent snowboarding by Joel and Dean, sightseeing Lake Louise by the rest of us. While waiting for the boys to finish, we ended up having a two hour nap in the upper lobby of Chateau Lake Louise. Once they were done, it was a LONG, tired drive back to Edmonton.
