Anyone who doesn’t want to deal with airlines is welcome to travel to Perth by sea...
I admit, if I could drive, I would do it...:) I love driving on vacation.
I went on a trip a couple of years ago to burn some vacation time, and it was simply a road trip to see America.
Turned up the music real loud, rolled down all the windows, and drove. The only time I didn't drive about 10 hours or more was when I went horseback riding (which I ended up not doing due to rain, but that was the only place I had a reservation)
I was by myself, did about 3500 miles and drove for five days...just went wherever I wanted with no itinerary. I was going from New England down to Virginia to spend a day horseback riding in the Shenandoah Mountains and then I was going to try to make it the Four Corners Monument, but in Louisville I realized I just could not make it time wise...so I went to Nebraska instead...:)
