Yes Yes and Yes!!!
Travel as much as you can while you can and take in as much as you can.
I'm not sure if you are planning on a luxury holiday or a back packing adventure, but either way, the best advise I can give you is this:
1. Pay for the travel insurance. It is worth it, even if you don't use it.
2. Pack light. I've always found that I pack far too much. One pair of jeans, 3 t-shirts, something nice to go out in and something to sleep in. Sweat shirts and coats needed in cold climates, bathing suit for warm climate. Don't pack a towel, pack a sarong, they dry quicker.
3. Remember you are a visitor. Respect the traditions of the place you are visiting and don't impose your beliefs on the people.
4. Take lots of photos!
I'd love to be in your shoes right now, but am happy to be me too. I'm teaching my kids the love of travel with little trips around Victoria and hoping to do a big trip around Australia soon.
Happy trails!
