"Leaving on a jet plane..."

Barbara and Michael King are winging their way on Air New Zealand to Perth, Western Australia. On a journey designed by Swain Tours, the Kings will call the InterContinental Burswood Resort Perth their home for 3 days. Perth, capital of Western Australia, is set on the banks of the Swan River, a few miles from the beautiful beaches of the Indian Ocean.

From Perth, the Kings will fly to Broome, a popular resort spot. Cable Beach Club Resort will play host and one business appointment is on the schedule in Broome. "A new property in Virtuoso's exclusive collection, Pinctada, is in Cable Beach and we've set up a site inspection so we can offer our clients first-hand knowledge of the resort," Michael explained. A sunset camel ride will mark the end of 3 days of R&R in Broome.

Good things come in 3's and the next 3 days will be spent exploring Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef, an exclusive safari camp hidden in the white sand dunes of Western Australia's Cape Range national Park and one of Australia's best kept natural secrets. Ningaloo is known as one of the best places on earth to see and swim with Whale Sharks and Manta Rays.

If 3 are good, aren't 4 better? The 4th home away from home for the Kings will be at Cape Lodge in Margaret River, once a surfer haven and now known for its good food, wineries, arts and crafts and beautiful scenery.

Leaving Australia Michael and Barbara will spend two nights at Treetops, a luxe wilderness resort in New Zealand, two hours from Auckland. Treetops was featured in the honeymoon Michael created which was featured on theknot.com.
