Home Sweet Home!!!

Yes I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! I eventually made it home. To cut a long story short, there were many dramas with planes being delayed... our first flight from Melbourne to Sydney was delayed 2 hours which means we missed our connecting flight from Sydney direct to Mackay... so we were squeezed into a Sydney - Brisbane, then Brisbane to Mackay flight, but then the Sydney-Brisbane one was delayed... ARGH!! (And that was my long story cut short... lol) There were some very cranky people. Rob and I were sick to death of each other by then, so all we could do was laugh. I eventually got home after twelve long hours of waiting and travelling. I cancelled or rescheduled all my clients for Tuesday early, coz as one stage we didn't think we'd be home at all on Monday!
I'm still 'jet-lagged' from it!! LoL Lots of sleep to catch up on.
So what did I do.... hmmm shopped, LOTS, went to the one-day cricket final at the MCG (it was AWESOME!!), shopped, visited casino, went for a nite out, shopped and sight-saw. My feet are still wrecked from all the walking, so many blisters and chunks of skin missing! LoL
IT WAS BLOODY COLD!!!!!!!!! HEllo?!?! It's SUMMER!!! I had to wear a jacket every day except for the Friday - day of the cricket, it was nice and warm :) The weather just blew me away!
On my final full day there, I caught up with Kek. We had a great time, and fit lots of walking, shopping and eating in. She has photgraphic evidence on her blog..... I was busted in the act at Koko Black! I bought a block of chocolate for my mummy, and some of the white stuff for Rob, and got 4 single pieces just to try :) That was a very restrained effort I thought!
Rob won $1200 at the casino while I was with Kerryn, so we went out for a very flash dinner. Seafood platter for two and a few wines at one of the exxy restuarants at Southbank. I felt rich for a nite!!
All in all, it was great, we had heapsa fun! Let me try to attach some pics... Ok hold that thought, Blogger doesn't want to today :(

Hey! Enough slagging off of the weather! Sunday was great...um...except for the gale-force winds. It certainly wasn't COLD to anyone but a wussy Queenslander. ;-)

Dinner sounds fab, lucky you!

I'm NOT a wuss!!!!!!!! ;)
Melbourne just thinks it doesn't have to do what the rest of Australia does... lol
mmm and dinner was yum, except I felt all the sea creatures swimming around in my tum for a few hours after it!

Sounds like you had an awesome time away! I love going away, but I love coming home to my own bed even better!

Nice bonus on the win!
