Beautiful One Day, Perfect The Next

-
My January 13, 2019 adventure in Queensland began with a trip to Westfield Chermside. The resort-like interior was a lot fancier than the Westfield shopping centre in Penrith.




I was here to met Rangi and Alex. We all worked together at Pizza Planet in Disney World in 2015.


We all grabbed a delectable lunch at Kinn+Derm.






After roaming around the centre we farewelled Rangi.




Then Alex and I headed to the jungle.






We did eventually escape and part ways. I rejoined Mum and we caught the bus to Roma Street Parklands.








The lush vegetation was home to a few creatures.






This dude was working his angles. He was desperate to be part of this blog. 








The vibrant flowers were the perfect photo shoot backdrop.










I found another friend.




He played a little hide 'n' seek.


Dinner that night was with Jane, Pete, Rhea and Mum at Cafe 63 in New Farm.






I recommend the Sir Don surf  'n' turf dish.


Stay tuned to discover more sights of Australia from the comfort of your quarantined couch.

From December last year until 4am on Monday I was part of something pretty special. We Will Rock You (or WWRU).

The End of My USA Holiday

Ok, so we’ve gotta go back to January last year for this one.  My final blog about my trip to see the Bravos is very condensed. I was sick, so couldn’t really do much for the last week.  Thankfully, Paige was able to visit.  It was so good to see fellow Pizza Planetear. We of course DFEMed (Dessert For Every Meal), and played some games. Other things I got up to that week included story time with Addy, eating some of the same meals as Addy and game time with Addy.  I also binged The Crown. When Addy was out she decided I needed a love heart cookie.  Addy’s nail salon opened on our final morning. I couldn’t attend, so Alicia took some photos.  At the airport I was fixing up my bag and I heard a little voice yell, “I need to hug Aunt Clary!” I was always going to go back for a hug.  Mum and I had a meal in the airport. Apparently I really felt connected to the colour orange that day.  Then we were flying high over NYC back to Syd.

That Time I Surprised Addy

At the beginning of last year I decided it would be fun to spend Christmas in New York with my niece. I also thought it would be a good idea to surprise her. A week or so (I actually can’t remember how long before) my mum and I told Addy over a video call that we’d be spending Christmas with her, her mum (my sister, Alicia) and her dad (Carlos). The journey for Mum and I started in Sydney… with a photo for the blog, of course.  After an insane amount of hours flying, an encounter with an angry, egotistical TSA agent (or was that on the way home?) we made it to the newly renovated Terminal B in LaGuardia Airport.  Back tracking a little, Mum and I were lined up to walk past sniffer dogs. Except you couldn’t see what was actually happening because there were partitions. But I could hear a TSA agent regularly telling people to listen and repeating instructions aggressively.  I was determined to be the perfect passenger and get it right.  Ok, so now it’s my turn to get s...
