By the time you read this, I will have already boarded a direct flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia. It will have taken off around 11:30pm on Tuesday evening and hopefully sometime in the 15 hour and 5 minute journey, I will have gotten at least 8 hours of sleep. I will have taken a couple Advil PM and crossed my fingers the little blue pills will have done their job. I will have fast forwarded through time and space (not really, but sort of) and arrive on Thursday at 8:30AM.
This is just the beginning of a whirlwind tour through Australia, ending with Labor Day weekend in Auckland, New Zealand. I will do my best to blog along the way (with some pre-written posts).
Here is the Australian catalogue (pricing differs in NZ & Singapore)…

If you’d like to follow the adventures, I’ll be posting everyday on Instagram, username: amytangerine. I’ve been to Australia once before, over a decade ago. It is one of my favorite places on the planet and much of it is because of the wonderful people (and those accents!). Feeling blessed for this opportunity with American Crafts and Spotlight stores. Really looking forward to meeting some of you soon!
Welcome to Australia, Amy!! Hoping to see you when you get to Queensland!!
As soon as i saw Spotlight Australia in your side bar i emailed Spotlight to see if you were coming to West Aus, sadly no so i will miss you. Hope you have a great time and get to see something of Aus.
