Floatation Therapy – My Float Tank Experience at Float & Fly in Dubuque, Iowa!
I’m all for trying unique experiences and when I first heard about floatation therapy and float tanks, I had to try it out! I had seen something similar in a hotel lobby in Las Vegas a while back, it was a kind of water bed in a pod which moved in a way that massaged you. This is a little different though, a float tank is like a giant bath filled with a saline/epsom salt salution which allows you to float in just a few inches of water, similar to the dead sea!

Barrenjoey Lighthouse Walk: Sydney, Australia
One of the highlights of my Brisbane to Sydney road trip, was one of our very last stops in Palm Beach, part of Sydney’s Northern Beaches region. The town of Palm Beach is located at the very end of a thin peninsula which is part of the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. It’s crazy how the land pinches in with 2 beaches back to back before opening up into the Barrenjoey Headland. A must do while in Palm Beach is the Barrenjoey Lighthouse walk to the top of the headland! Here’s my guide on what to expect!

One thing that I had wanted to complete was an Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift. Years and years ago when I was a kid, me, my mum and sister had put one together and when I discovered that they also do it in the USA too, I thought it’d be nice to do something for someone else!
