Final Family Adventures... For Now

-

We've reached the end of the Bravos' visit to Australia in May last year.


We ate some lunch at the Peachtree Hotel, which is quite fancy now compared to the partying days of my youth.



They even have a cool playground, which Addy loved.

She is in the next photo, if you look closely. It's a bit like Where's Wally, which is what she requested when she came over in the afternoon.

We also watched some of A Bug's Life.

Then we all took a stroll through the reserve near where I live.



Addy insisted on taking the Littlest Pet Shop dog and carrier.

After a little while she asked me to carry it.


Then I asked my mum to carry it.


Even though this was the end of my time with them in Australia, in just a few months Mum and I will be spending time with them at their place in America. But don't tell Addy because it's a surprise.

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

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...

Wisconsin Adventures

While in America in January last year I took a little trip to Wisconsin to visit Kyra and meet her son, Walter, for the first time in real life.  I took off from LaGuardia airport.  And touched down in Milwaukee.  I stayed at Kyra’s parents’ place with Mom and Dad Nowacki (Kyra and her family were one of my adopted families when I lived in America… as a 26 year old).  Kyra, Walter and I ventured Downtown.  We had some snacks and hot drinks.  Walter kept peaking out on the way back to the car. He wanted to know what was going on. I also think he was a little confused that I kept going everywhere with them.  We took a few touristy shots.  And a few festive ones.  We took all these photos for the blog, of course.  We watched a little football. Go Pack Go! The next morning we took a little trip to the zoo.  Later that afternoon I visited Kyra’s sister and her 2 kids. I was supposed to spend more time with them another day, but I got sic...
