I used to be blessed with perfect travel karma -- where ever I would go, blue skies would follow while rain poured down or snow fell in my place of departure. Now, it seems that wherever I go, I narrowly miss major upheaval.
BF and I were on vacation in NZ and Australia for the past 2 weeks. We did not have perfect weather. 38° Celsius = FREAKING HOT or 100.4° F. What we did have was perfect timing. We were in Queenstown, NZ and about to leave for Cairns, Australia to go snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef when we heard about the rioting in Sydney on SKY News. We arrived in Sydney 3 days after the riots ended. While in Sydney, we were again watching SKY News (the only other programming was of either rugby or cricket) and saw images of the Brooklyn Bridge swarmed with pedestrians. We flew back on Christmas Day and missed the strike by 3 days.
More on our travels to the Land Down Under and the Land of the Sheep (NZ) later...

Aus and NZ hot, yes. But must be better than frigid Mass. (I am freezing in Tokyo - native mass)
