Auckland and Brisbane

New ZealandWhat do Auckland accomodation and hotels in Brisbane have in common? After all, Auckland is in New Zealand and Brisbane is in Australia. They are destinations for World Travelers seeking adventure. They are destinations for the savvy traveler looking for something out of the ordinary; something different something exciting.

Read on, if you dare!

Beaches, sunshine, sailing, shopping, fine cuisine, cafe's, museum's and more. Words that are often used to describe vacation destinations; but add coffee, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, ANZAC Square and The Shrine of Remembrance and you're talking about Brisbane, an important location during World War II. Brisbane was The South West Pacific Headquarters for General Douglas MacArthur. And don't forget to stop and see The Old Windmill, for something quaint. It's one of the oldest landmarks in Brisbane.

Add words like yachts, extinct volcanoes, yachts, dolphines, yachts, Polynesian, and did I mention yachts? Now we're talking about Auckland. Auckland, the capital of New Zealand with a nickname of City of Sails; is rich in Polynesian history and culture. Viewing Auckland from the water, either the Pacific Ocean or The Tasman Sea is a Kodac moment. So come prepared.

Adventure doesn't have to break the bank, plug in travel dates and see the wide range of pricing available for you and your family.

  1. You are full of travel ideas. These places look like fun but you know me, give me a dude ranch out West. Have you got any info on ranches or just that area of the country?

  5. Those places are on my wish list to visit one day. My stepmom is going next summer with her granddaughter and we're all very jealous of them. I'll tell her your tips!

  7. Wow, I just got back from a trip through Europe, and now I'm already thinking about next year's holiday! :) I've always wanted to see New Zealand, but I figure it's pretty much the same with Tasmania. Or so I've heard. It's that so?

  10. Nice to see an article on my home city of Auckland, It really is a nice city but there are far better places in New Zealand to see, Queenstown is the best place to visit especially if you can get there in September and October.

  11. I'm also from Auckland, its a nice place with the harbour, beaches and only 10-15 miles from coast to coast. Weather is usually good, although humid in summer. NZ is a beautiful place so you do need to get out of town and see the country!

  13. What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
