Change of plan.....Again!

ARRGGHH! Ok, So we have changed the plans again. Only because i became adamant on seeing the ocean and realised there is NO ocean in the middle of Australia. So we are now going to a coastal town called Port Macquarie which is north of Sydney. I have been there before but it is a beautiful place and there are dolphin cruises and beaches and warm weather.
We are staying in a water park! You can go wake boarding and jet skiing and all that jazz. We managed to get a cabin which is next to the lake and i have seen pics, it is beautiful! AND, Its dog friendly! So the mutt will be allowed to sleep inside, which is great. Port Macquarie is only about 4-5 hours away... As opposed to 3 days of driving. It seemed like the better decision. That way, we can get there faster and spent more time doing stuff.
And i have actually set a date! We leave on the 16th! Which is later in the month than i would have liked but the school holidays will be over by then so everything wont be so full. (Like the good places to stay and the awesome places to go and see)
So i am looking forward to getting there now. I am really hoping that it will be pretty warm up there too.

Getting EXITED!!!!!

The countdown is on! 2 weeks to go! The only thing we are waiting for is the registration papers for the car (It will run out while we are away)I am getting all the camera gear together. We have organised to get the car checked over before we go so it's in tip top condition for a LONG drive. And in the middle of nowhere, you dont want to be breaking down or running out of fuel. Im going to take videos and pictures aswell so you can see some of the trip....The really good parts anyway. I have been looking up pet-friendly hotels and am sort of relieved i have found at least 2. The one place i know i want to go to is Dubbo Zoo (It's actually called Western Plains Zoo...In Dubbo). Apart from that, we are just going to drive west and if we see anything that looks interesting, we are just going to pull over. I like the idea of not having an itinerary or a set schedule to stick to. It reflects my personality, just go with the flow. It's not the destination, it's the journey. Although our destination is going to be Broken Hill which is pretty much in the middle of Australia, And iv'e heard that the small mining city has lots to see.
Anyhow, Will keep you updated.
I know my blog is void of many pics but in 2 weeks, there will be heaps so fear not.

Art and catch up.


So i am not going to America, The trip fell through but that means we are moving the road trip forward. Within 4 weeks, we will be on the road. With the shiny new car, it should be a comfortable holiday. The pic is of me and my new car.
So i have started painting again, I used to paint a lot a few years ago. And i want to try sell my stuff. Im not big headed thinking my stuff is great but i thought that art is so expensive these days, Some of the stuff i do may catch someones eye and they might want to buy it.

Home Sweet Home.


So i got back from Queensland last night, I had a good flight. It was Virgin Blue's tenth birthday so they let everyone have free foxtel for the duration of the flight. The seats were comfy... Was a great flight. I recommend anyone to fly with Virgin Blue. They are great. My flight even got into Sydney EARLY!
I had an awesome week with my BB. He was so good to look after. He doesn't cry. Yeah, really. He doesn't cry. I didn't have any screaming baby on my hands this week. I had a cute, very good boy to look after. Mind you, I think i have learnt every Wiggles song there is. But that won't be so bad i suppose, I'll be prepared next time.
I'm tired now....
