Another day another different Macdonald's

Well today Saturday, has been a long busy day doing bugga all again, we went and had breaky at Macca's then we went to Northgate so Tim could look at Sprinter camper vans and then we had a talk about how often we would use it and whether it would be worth the expense they cost $50,000 and are not as big as the motor home we are driving. He has decided he wants to speak to mum & dad about helping them pay the on road costs of this motor home in exchange for being able to use it a couple of times a year, I do not know what mum will think of that idea as dad was hoping Tim would buy this motor home but he/we would rather spend our money on a couple of more overseas holidays as we really wouldn't get a lot of use out of the motor home. 

After that we went to visit Tim's cousin Christine and her partner Alan, it was an uncomfortable visit as we don't know them and Tim hasn't seen Christine in 30yrs although they have spoken via Skype. We only stayed about 45 minutes and then we headed to Maroochydore were we are staying the night, we couldn't get a ensuite site as we would have to stay 2 nights for that but we are right next to the amenities so it's all good. 

Tomorrow we should see our niece Kelli & Daemon and hopefully Kirsty and her partner Jacob as we are only just around the corner from where Kirsty lives and by around the corner I mean about 5 minutes or so. 

I have arranged to see Kirsty and Kelli for lunch today it will be nice to see them.

  1. Can't you just hire a motorhome when you want it if you don't use it that often?? I bet it's beautiful where you are at the moment!!

    1. Cheaper to borrow my parents but yeah you can hire them but they cost a bloody lot for a week, which is why Tim said he will help with the on road costs for this one that will work out to less then what you would pay to hire one for a week

  5. It can be a little awkward seeing someone you havent seen for a long time.
    Sounds like a good getaway though
