The AUIP team realizes that traveling to the South Pacific may be a once in a lifetime opportunity, and we want to help you get the most out of your time Down Under. We have chosen our favorite activities at each of the locations you have a free day. Would you like to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef in Australia or go on a Lord of the Rings tour in New Zealand? To find out more go to: www.auip.com/freetime

We also realize that some of you are planning to pursue some independent travel after the program(s). And why not? When are you likely to head this way again? With this in mind, we have asked House of Travel to put together cost-effective flight and accommodation packages. These options can also be found at www.auip.com/freetime

If you have any questions, or would like to receive travel tips and advice, please comment on this blog or email info@auip.com.

To ask your fellow students what their plans are, leave a post on the AUIP Facebook page.

Happy travels!
