Australia vacation

After our two domestic vacations this year, we are planning for an international getaway by next year. I was thinking of Hongkong at first, but my dear friend from high school, Vanessa, who happens to be Joaquin's godmother too, is inviting us in Australia. She migrated last year and she is currently working there as a Bank Accountant. It made me too excited that I asked her for some tips on places that we need to see once we get there. She even offered her house for a few nights of stay while we go around Sydney. She helped me to conceptualize our travel plan , I just wish we will be granted a tourist visa.

First stop would be Sydney. Gelo is feeling shy to stay at Vanessa's place, so we might check on Hotels in Sydney. We are considering accesibility in the tourist spots to be found in the area, since we have a toddler in tow. The hotel should also be of good servie and of reasonable rates. I guess a 3-day stay would make us experience shopping, dining and the beach culture at Sdyney.
After Sydney comes Melbourne. Hotels in Melbourne are said to be of great finds too. I am eagerly anticipating on what Melboune has to offer. Aside from the daily happenings at the city center, they also have exotic places that is a must to see. And last stop would be Brisbane. I checked on the Hotels in Brisbane and most are fairly priced. We are not really after the fancy ones, we are after service and cleanliness. Of all the places that we want to visit, I have the least knowledge on this one, so I always check on the internet on dining experiences, shopping havens and the local tourist spots. Planning the trip really made me excited and we hope that we can push through with the plans by next year. I am also into budgeting our finances so we can squeeze in this trip. Here's a few of the places we want to see..
