Well
hello blogland, I am back and we should be resuming normal
transmission as from today. I am giving advanced warning that there
will be a week or two of holiday related posts so hope that doesn't
bore anyone silly and if it does please feel free to yell at the
computer that you have had enough already, not that I will hear you
but it might help you feel better..............just saying.
So
Tim and I flew into Sydney on the 31st August, we arrived
around 5pm and headed out towards customs but of course before we got
there we had to pick up our bags and before that we had to pass
through the duty free store.
So
as we are passing through duty free Tim has to stop and buy grog that
was ok I was going to get a few small bottles of stuff too that I
would mostly use as gifts but Tim found this............
So
I could only get 4 small bottles when I wanted 5 as his big ass
bottle took up a lot of our allowed amount to bring in. Even though
he says it will take him a bloody long time to drink it we will see I
don't think it will take that long at all, oh yeah it is a 3lt bottle
if you were wondering.
We
spent that night at the hotel across from the airport and have to say
I am so glad we did because by the time we got to the hotel it was
about 6pm and I was exhausted so exhausted I didn't feel like going
anywhere to get food to eat. So in the end I just ordered some hot
chips from room service cost $8 for a small serve of chips. Here is a
photo of said chips.
Let
us move on to the following day, Tuesday when after getting up we
headed to the airport again to catch the airport train to central
station were we caught another train home to Newie, Natasha picked us
up from the train station and I picked up both boys from school. Then
of course Blain was staying here for the night and Leo also wanted to
stay because he had missed his nanna and pappa and of course we said
yes he could stay.
Wednesday
saw me make a start on the mountain of washing that needed to be done
took me two days to get it all washed, dried and put away, which
brings me to over packing, everyone always go on about women over
packing but in this family it is Tim who over packs and still ends up
buying clothes he says he has run out of when in fact if he only
looked he would find the clothing item in his suitcase. This trip it
was a T-shirt he swore he had run out of T-shirts but when I was
putting away the clothes he hadn't worn I found 2 T-shirts, 4
singlets, 4 pairs of shorts, 1 pair of jeans and 2 pairs of track
pants and 2 other pairs of long pants and of course there was 8 pairs
of socks and 3 pairs of undies yes that is all the unworn clothes he
took..............
I
had 1 top, some stockings and 3 extra pairs of knickers that I had
to buy as I did in fact run out of knickers and had to buy extras but
that was all.
Well
that will do for this post until next time all be happy and be safe
I'm still stuck on 8 dollars for french fries?!?! UGH! Hope you had a great vaca

Yeah I know as a rule I stay away from room service but I was just so exhausted and went with the cheapest option
DeleteI do hope you had a great time. Yeah! Stuff is expensive on trips. 😊
ReplyDeleteI had a great holiday and I know talk about expensive
DeleteWow! Expensive food! But I hope you had a really good time. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I know but it was a good holiday
DeleteJust think of the $8 as one of the hazards of travelling!! At least the chips looked edible!!
ReplyDeleteYeah I know that was what I was thinking
DeleteThat is one BIG bottle. That should help you all have a happy holiday.
ReplyDeleteYeah that's for sure
DeleteGeez, was that like 35 cents a chip? I'd have walked to a patrol station first...
ReplyDeleteI know it is only the second time in my life I have ordered room service
DeleteI hope those chips were the best ever for the amount you paid!!
