I jokingly call myself the olds IT helpdesk as invariably when I pop round for a visit I end up trying to nut out questions or problems with their computers. One such day my mum and I were chatting and she mentioned she would soooo like to go to the patchwork show on in Melbourne but didn’t have the money so I suggested she use her airpoints. To this idea she said she couldn’t work out how so I cheekily said if you take me I would organise it for her. Expecting to be told to stop being cheeky I was happily surprised when she said go for it – so not one to look a gift horse in the mouth I booked those tickets for a girls weekend away before she could change her mind so with 2 weeks prep we were off.
Everything went smoothly checked our car in no hassle went straight through customs and by the time duty free shopping was complete walked straight onto the plane but that’s when the fun started we had a couple with two babies who cried the entire flight so much so you almost didn’t notice it by the end. I got to watch Crazy Heart which was good and the noise block out worked semi OK – not as good as gadget queen next to me with her super dooper noise block-out ones.
We arrived and hopped in a cab which took us swiftly to Hotel Del – my amazing friend who never fails to look after, cats, kids, visitors, husbands, friends, home stays, neighbours, colleagues and her community all simultaneously and always with a smile – such a legend. Only had a slight issue with mums suitcase as she realised her key was on the car keys back in NZ so had to break into it but the extremely cute kittens well and truly made up for it.
There is always a bed, couch or corner of carpet here waiting for you. Come back....
