Hellooooo everyone from sunny hot Brisbane! We started out fairly early this morning to travel to Surfers Paradise and Sea World. Bekk and I arrived at about 10.20am just in time to be before the crowds. First thing we did was to go and see the Dolphins at play and they have this routine that they do to show the dolphins off. Must admit it was rather exciting! From there we wandered into the 4D film of insects and sea creatures, I think the scary bit was putting on the glasses and watching a big python come towards you….LOL We walked [View Full Entry]

Today started cold again, and knowing I am going into the heat of Brisbane is awesome, I don’t know how I will go. When we got to the airport Charlie and I lined up to go to luggage and checkin, we got called up to another line at the front as we only had 10 minutes before boarding, how that happened I have no idea, as we were only 10 minutes from the airport and had to be there an hour before time. I must have miscalculated the time, anyway I got through that quick and then also through security in [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Well the day started out dark and cold……LOL….. It was an early morning, getting up packing up the car and travelling to Launceston. On the way we meet up with my grandson Liam and his mum Emma, which my son was returning from a weekend visit to his Dad. It was lovely to see him as his birthday is in a day or two and I must remember to send him something like a good Granna would! heehee Both Charlie and I stayed with Charlies sister Alice and her hubby Tony. While we were there we also caught up [View Full Entry]

Good Morning All, Well I am at it again, and although I am travelling alone this time without my beloved Charlie, and I am only travelling within Australia, I thought I might as well keep you all posted! I leave here (Tassie) on the 8th September and thought that as I have a moment I will start the blog! I know Charlie will be wanting to know what I am up to every minute of the day and I know he will be watching his emails morning and night! The purpose of this trip is to visit with my daughter Rebekah [View Full Entry]

Hi All, Well this will be the last message, after a terrible start with the 2 hours delay that turned into a 1 ½ hour delay the day just got better…. As our first flight was late we did not make our connecting flight from Sydney to Melbourne, but QANTAS is good as always and had us on the next available flight which was the 2 pm flight to Melbourne. We got some lunch, and settled into gate 4 to wait. Let me tell you health food from the airport is not health food.. LOL we bought some sandwiches from the [View Full Entry]

HI All, Well here we go again..... we came to book in for the first flight and its delayed 2 hours, and won't make our connection to Melbourne.... This then means we don't get a great deal of time to meet with you Ellen, I am sorry. At least they have us on a flight an hour later which means we still make the connection to Launceston....*sigh* For a holiday that was supposed to relieve my stress level....let me tell you it hasn't! Charlie is a little niggly, I think its upset him a but we will manage. I think I [View Full Entry]

Hi All! Well today was just wonderful with a very over cast day, it seemed cooler even though I doubt it is. The day started with a 7 am swim at Emily Bay again, last day today for Rhonda she was off on the 2 o’clock plane today. Even MrC came and even though he said it was cold I know he enjoyed it. Also the last day for us too as we will be on a plane at 8 am tomorrow. After breakfast we started out with only two things in mind….one to go back and look in all the [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone, Well today we had a completely free day until 6pm when we went on our last family reunion event. Tell you more about it later! This morning again started with a swim, very beautiful and I am going to miss that when I come home! After returning MrC and I had breakfast, and as MrC was having trouble with his feet we went into town to visit the shoe shop, so now he sports a lovely set of new sandals, and I have some pink thongs from Diana Ferrari! All settled with our feet, we then took off to [View Full Entry]

Hello Everyone! Julia and Mark are you home yet? I left MrC in bed again this morning while going off with Rhonda for our 7am swim, Rhonda was right this time and we had the beach to ourselves, and only shared it with a lovely local lady called Dot. As we didn’t have to be anywhere until 11 am MrC and I had a leisurely breakfast on our balcony watching the black chooks that run around here free range. At 11 am we went off to the best day so far, a group of novas actors get together and re-enact the [View Full Entry]
