Yes to OZ in Aug/Sept.
Never been. Want to try Barossa Valley and then Port Douglas for scuba at GBR.
Maybe to Europe in October/November.
Lyon and/or Beaune would be preferable to Provence. Love that Burgundy wine. Love that Lyonnaise cuisine.
However...like others I cannot say what my work situation will be at either time so I can only say I am interested in those dates/locations and I hope to be at both!
