We're Back!!!

HI Everyone,
Before you all say about time etc etc.. we have been on holidays for the last couple of weeks and that is what this update is all about.

The holiday didn't all go as planed and started off in the worst possible way with our flight out of Weipa being delayed by 2hrs, which meant we missed our connecting flight to Sydney. Not to worry they re booked us via Brisbane, which meant we had to run off one plane through the terminal in Cairns and on to the next plane which was delayed just so we (and 6 others) could catch it. Anyway we safely made it to Brisbane. While waiting in the Qantas club, Mel decided to ask for an upgrade and Qantas obliged, so the the kids travelled the final leg to Sydney in style.

The next morning we picked up the hire car only to find out they hadn't refuelled it. Not to worry on the return a week later they refunded us the price of a tank of fuel.
From here the trip went fantastic, we headed up to Newcastle ad caught up with Steven, Leigh, Aidan and the lovely Felicity, who just happened to have her christening the same day which gave us a chance to catch Mum and Owen as well.


Gary then headed off to his week of golf in Port Stephens, while Steven & Leigh graciously hosted Mel and the kids. Thank you to you both.

I will keep the golf short i played well for 3 out of 4 days and had a ball. To make things a little differant this year we actually travelled by ferry to one of the games, now looking at the photo you can see that this wasn't a very big ferry, but somehow they managed to fit 120 of us on it and away we went. To finish the week off, I booked Mel and the kids into a Motel in Nelson Bay as a surprise.
