AS the ****le suggests .
I am going to Melbourne with my sister for a short stay, we do this every now and then to catch up and just chill oh and did I mention SHOP
We have booked a couple of shows and dinner are travelling business class and going to spoil ourselves . Stating off I am driving up to my sisters home the night before her husband is a chef and I have asked him to make some special meal for us to start our mini break can't wait to see what it will be.
Then we drive up early the next morning to the airport.
We decided we want to pamper ourselves so we are going Business class using frequent flyer points I might add !! Got pedicures and manicures organised for when we arrive and a lovely sea food dinner at the Marriot for our first night , Followed by shopping, shopping ........ Get the idea all ?

I will miss you, will be back around the 13th so will let you know what fun we get up to then take care and stay happy TB.:ciao:

Sounds like a wonderful trip! Are you bringing your budgies with you?

I just got back from a trip to NYC to visit my sister....It was JUST what I needed. It is so nice to spend time with your siblings, and it really makes you happy.

Have fun! Looking forward to hearing about it!

Wow, that sounds like a fantastic little getaway! I'd love to go, of course. Who doesn't love good food and good shopping?
I can't wait to hear all about it, and although we'll miss you, it'll be fun picturing you having fun!

It's really sweet that you and your sister have this sort of tradition and it really seems like a lot of fun!!
Kind of jealous here since I can't exactly do those things with my older brother.

Enjoy your little vacation with your sister, we will miss you too!

Cathy,

Your mini vacation sounds delightful!
It's wonderful that you and your sister are able to get together for some fun and relaxation.
Wish my sister and I could meet you there!

:wave1: Hi all I am back !
Well firstly let me say I did miss you all and I often had a smile on my face thinking what was happening back her in TB
My sister and I had a lovely time in Melbourne even the weather was kind to us which fellow Aussies will understand, Melbourne is notorious for it's rain and cold!!!
To start off we had to catch to bus from the Airport long term parking, which shouldn't be a problem right ?
Well not for me I managed to fall getting onto the bus, I must admit it would of looked quite funny here's me on my back side with a HUGE case sitting on top of me:S I don't know how I did it but I did, and boy do I have the bruise to prove it !!!!

Of course a little thing like that didn't stop me form shopping and going out LOL.
Had a wonderful sea food dinner the first night plus a bottle of wine which was nice as well.
Ok will leave the rest for another day ! I will upload some pictures soon

Glad you and your sister had a good time Cathy. Surprised you didn't experience the 4 seasons in one day like it is normally in Melbourne.

Got a good giggle from the thought of you on your back side trying to get into the bus. Reminded me of one afternoon when I had some friends here and I was trying to feed the cat, overbalanced and landed flat on my back side then over onto my back, still holding the can of cat food upright in my hand. Luckily though it was on grass and dirt so I didn't suffer any bruising.

Can't wait to see the pictures.

Welcome back Cathy glad you enjoyed it. I'm sure Blue and the gang are delighted to have you home though

 

[PrincipePio]

Just what the doctor ordered: pampering and relax! Enjoy every moment!

 

[FaeryBee]

:welcome: "home", my friend! :hug:

I'm so glad you had a good time with your sister and the weather was kind to you.

I'm looking forward to seeing pictures soon.
(Especially the hoto: I hope your sister took while you were on your backside with the case on top of you!)
