Sydney at $861 RT

Australia is huge. Like, totally-deserves-a-road-trip huge.

But even if you're not planning on hitting the highways, Sydney is the perfect entry point. There's plenty to see just in day-trip range, including warm beaches, stunning mountain vistas, and about a thousand little coastal towns, each one cuter than the last.

And if that's not enough to impress you, the Great Barrier Reef is just a quick flight away :-)
