Brisbane and Sydney Australia

Since the internet connection in Australia is not awesome and he has been busy with meetings, I have not been able to talk to Dan as much as I would have liked. We skype and facetime but there is a lot of cutting out usually :( He did send me a couple of pictures from looking out his hotel windows, the first is Brisbane and the second is Sydney. I hope to post more about his trip when he gets back Saturday and we are finally able to chat! I am really starting to miss him!

Dan in Terrigal, Australia

Dan has started his 2 week adventure in Australia. He is doing a "tour" of Australia working on Net Positive "stuff". Obviously I am not exactly sure what his plans are for his trip to Australia but hopefully I'll be able to get a better idea as he visits different areas. But, I do know about his first stop.....Terrigal. When I accompanied him to Australia last February I spent  a lot of time in Terrigal while Dan worked at his company's production plant in Summersby Australia, just a few miles up the coast. He always stays in a really nice condo in Terrigal right on the beach! He sent me a picture of the condo....with tons of windows just to remind me of what I am missing. I love this little beach town! It is not a "touristy" place which I love! I was unable to go with Dan this year because I used all our frequent flier miles on flights to interviews :( Instead I am spending the week in Rapid City with my family!
If you haven't been to Australia I would highly recommend it! It is beautiful :)

Today Dan is hopping on a plane to Brisbane. I am really excited to hear about this area of Australia as this will be his first time there. I will post again about Dan's trips to Brisbane, Melbourne, and some other small towns in Australia.

Dan in London and York, UK

Dan spent this week in the UK. The first few days he spent in York with meetings about Net Positive- Stockholm Environmental Institute, Oxford-Brooks University, and Harvard. York is a very historical place with Old Roman Walls around the city and old Pubs (Dan visited the Black Swan Pub that was built in the 1500s), he also visited the smallest pub (which was apparently smaller than my closet!). Then he went up to London and had a few more meetings. Net Positive is a project he has been working on for the past couple years. They are working on building a tool for medium to small businesses to establish their sustainability strategy around the Net Positive model. Next he will be in Australia for 2 weeks- I am very disappointed I don't get to go this year :( I spent all our airline miles on interviews. This is a picture of London county hall and the London Eye (the Ferris wheel), where Dan stayed.
