Travel adventures

So I've been rabbitting on both before and after going on holidays. But what did I really get up to? I know that's a burning question for my loyal readers, so here's a brief itinerary of my adventures over the last couple of weeks:

• Tuesday - Finish work, last minute trip to the beautician, spend the evening with the boy and finish packing.
• Wednesday - Early morning flight Sydney to Perth. Greeted by parents and younger sister Petrina who arrived an hour or so earlier. Off in the motor home and had lunch in the back while Dad bought a band saw (don't ask - it's a Dad thing). A stop in to visit brother Bronte, sister-in-law Bec and Niece Kara (oh my god! How cute can one kid be?) then down south to the affianced sister's farm for a couple of days. Dinner with the family and the soon-to-be brother-in-law Brownedog (yep, again, don't even ask).
• Thursday - Photography in the Dryandra with Mum & Petrina, then dodgy DVDs then dinner with the family and a fairly tame night at the Como hotel.
• Friday - Drive with Petrina to the airport to pick up wedding guests while the rest of the family heads to the wedding rehearsal, where we join them later. More wedding guests arrive and a looong boozy lunch entails. Back to Bronte & Bec's place for the night.
• Saturday - A trip to the shopping centre with Petrina & Bec for a bit of retail therapy and pedicures then off to check into the accommodation. Lots of scurrying from room to room as we had half the place booked out. A big dinner at the local and a few more drinks than may have been advisable the night before the big event. Oops!
• Sunday - the big event! Lots of getting ready, then the ceremony (limericks and all), then the dinner. All very beautiful.
• Monday - packing up and back to Bec & Bronte's again. Big BBQ recovery.
• Tuesday - a bit of relaxing and then a trip to the pool with Kara and hanging around til midnight to go catch the red-eye to Melbourne
• Wednesday - Time zone issues, layover in Melbourne airport, finally arriving in Tassie and sleeping all day. Pizza with my friends Nic & Mick.
• Thursday - big sleep in, chores around town and cooking dinner for Nic & Mick.
• Friday - Lunch with Nic and Rebecca, move to Rebecca & Matt's place. Dinner with Karen's (the second bride) family.
• Saturday - the big day (again!). More beautiful wedding and reception stuff.
• Sunday - BBQ at Karen's family's new house. A surprise visit to the absent Pom (who is known for not managing to make it to events before they finish!) and then pizza with Rossco.
• Monday - A visit to my old work for lunch with Julie and a very quick hello to a bunch of old friends. Then off to the airport and back home again...whew!!!!!

I think I need a rest!
