A dream come true

Hey guys,
So we all have dreams and goals in life. This can honestly be anything you want. One of my biggest goals in life is to visit Australia. I don't only plan on seeing one place but travelling around to various places around Australia. This is honestly one of my biggest dreams, which I cant wait to hopefully do in the future. So how would I  budget for my dream. Not only that but how I would budget if I added £10,000 onto my budget. So of course I couldn't help but start planning my holiday to Australia.
Dream: Holiday for 2 in Australia.
Budget: £5,000
For a budget of £5,000 I looked into staying in four different places in Australia for 3 days at a time. Giving me a nice 15 day holiday.
My holiday starts with us flying from London to Sydney for £572pp. Once in Sydney we will be staying at the Hyatt Regency Sydney for 3 nights at the cost of £461.

Byron Bay is next on my list of places to visit so with a £174pp flight we are on our way. Staying in the lovely The Byron at Byron Resort and Spa. Three nights here costs us £561.

The only thing left to do is catch a flight to Sydney for £49pp and stay in the first hotel we visited for one night ready for our flight home the next day. This one night costs £169.

So when we work out our cost our total is £3,937. Leaving us with £1,063 for food and spending money.

Dream: Holiday for 2 to Australia.

Budget: £15,000

So with a budget this large its only right to take full advantage of it. We have added on two extra stops giving us a holiday of 22 days.

It all starts with flying to Sydney for £1339pp. Where we will be staying at Bondi Beach Grandview Apartments. At the cost of £1872.
