We are going to....
Yep I was a bit of a tease;-) We looked and looked and most options meant travelling first to Wgton then flying to Auckland, one we were really keen on even meant a night in Auckland. Seemed to be a waste of a holiday day. Then we thought why not fly direct from home to Brisbane, check out internal flights to Cairns which worked out (and was a really good price) then we will hire a car and head to Port Douglas. We have been up on the Sunshine Coast before and have always wanted to see further so end of July we are on our way. Really looking forward to it. I'm a bit of a sunshine, warm weather person and so this is the perfect Winter break for us.
Had a busy day so far today, so no gym, no aqua. Have done two really full on sessions this week and a couple of aqua so still happy with that. Today I went of to have my eyes tested, passport photos taken, groceries and then back home. Passport photos - I hate them! We want to get to the beach sometime this weekend so will do a couple of good walks over there. My knee is improving and I realised yesterday at the gym that I haven't had calf muscle pain for some time. So feeling the leg work I'm doing there is paying of with strengthening my calf muscles. It makes it worth it when you can see a result.
I picked Devin up yesterday from school, felt a little sad for him when he told me that a kid at school told Devin that he was the uncoolest kid in the world and the stupidest. Stupid is one thing he isn't, his reading age is a couple of years older then him! Uncool - well he doesn't like new clothes, won't wear his hair spiked up, he just likes his old comfy shorts and t shirts. Kids can be so cruel.
Catch you later.

Oh got all excited when I first read this as I thought you were driving from Brisbane to Cairns and you could have stopped off with us on the way up - then re read and realised you're flying into Cairns. Anyway sounds great and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time - we'll just have to meet some other time!!
Kids suck sometimes...hope you have a great weekend.
We're at Boyne Island, near Gladstone which is about 4 to 5 hours south of Mackay.
ohhhhhhh kids can be so cruel sometime!!
Have a great weekend,
Jen
It breaks your heart when your kids get hurt. Its the whole mother lioness thing! I bet its just as strong for grandparents. Hope you were able to cheer him up with words of wisdom.

Hi Anne. The website is: www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
You have to buy credits (30 for six pounds) and then to look at and load down info you spend your credits.
I deleted the weareslimming site last week. I can't access it or do anything to the site now as it does not work with a Mac computer. There are so many amazing links on other people's sites now I didn't think anyone even went there now.
Yay Port Douglas is beautiful! I haven't been there but the parents have and saw every minute of video footage dad had (he has that thing stuck to his eye on holiday)
have fun!!
re: Devin ... it's always hard to know what to say when our kids are picked on at school. I was picked on as a kid and it effected me right up into my 20's. But I was told 'what goes around comes around'and eventually I saw this happen. Somehow try and explain this principal to Devin and it will help him cope with it somewhat.
