New Years eve is always a great time to be in Sydney with some of the best fireworks displays in the world. Any time from November through to Feb is good beach weather. If plane tickets and accommodation is too much around that time then around January 26 is also a good time. Jan 26 is Australia day and the whole country is awash with the colours of Oz, sailing ships in the harbour, fireworks and pub crawling.
What's a good month? I need a bit to save some more, anyway. I need a freaking vacation, BAD. I go to visit my Mother in Merida, Mexico (she G T F O of the U.S.) and my Father in Oklahoma. I want something different. And Australia sounds exactly what I'd like.
