Queensland Holiday

-
Back in January of 2019 Mum and I went on a little trip around south-east Queensland. The final destination on this holiday within a holiday was Peregian to catch up with Mum's brother and his family. Aunty Rhonda is an exceptional artist.




Uncle Bruce, Aunty Rhonda, Mum and I headed into Montville. We ate at The Edge Restaurant.




The salad was generously proportioned with fresh ingredients, although I would've appreciated a little more dressing.


Mum enjoyed her tomato juice.




We all enjoyed the gorgeous view.




Next we explored the shops of the quiet town.




Art adorns the streets. 




Next on the agenda was a sunset cruise on Noosa River.




For this relaxing cruise passengers take their own snacks and drinks. My cousins joined us on this cruise. It was nice to catch up with whole clan against a stunning, sunset backdrop.




Dinner that night was at Noosa Italian Restaurant.


The cinnamon and apple infused sangria tasted like a summery Christmas.




The following day Uncle Bruce, Aunty Rhonda, Mum and I had a delicious lunch at Periwinkle Restaurant.





We relaxed back at the house before farewelling everyone, including Memphis and Shelby. 




Then we were dropped off at the minuscule Maroochydore Airport. We took off into the sunset. 




Then touched down to see Sydney's sparkling lights.

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...
