photostory friday and the aussie weekender

i responded to a post that lolli wrote recently, when she spoke about the long flight from the west coast to the east coast.

i replied that i could fly to AUSTRALIA AND BACK in the same time!

i am certainly grateful that my although my best friend moved away (to another country), that it's only a 3 hour flight, and i can take a 4-day weekend a couple of times a year to see her.

on this trip, i took miss 19 with me, as tara's son (mr 8) had always had a soft spot for miss 19.  they hadn't seen each other for a year, and sure were pleased to see each other .

they hung out

she tied his laces

walked him to school

(adjusting his backpack so it won't hurt is back)

and even played pokemon with him

(not a stretch for miss 19 as she's always loved all things pokemon and DBZ and still has lots of the playing cards!)

the weather was hot.  close to 100 deg F hot

thank heavens for the beaches!

surf beaches

snorkelling beaches

beaches to eat brekky on

beaches to pose on

 

and beaches to run on

the best thing about this trip, is that i knew exactly when i'd be back!

tara's having a birthday bash mid-year and i've just booked my tickets

YEEHAW!!!!!
