Quick Trip Home


We went home to Brisbane for a two week holiday (not much of a holiday - we spent most of the first week doing banking and all sorts of stuff) but did get to spend lots of time with mum and a little time with Josh (he was busy working).

The flight to Brisbane  was awful - 21hrs including transit - next time we will stop somewhere on the way .


This is the Abu Dhabi International Airport Terminal - its weird - basically one big dome and thats it.  It really is just a transit airport.



Our first meal back in OZ - Ham -devine - oh it was so good.!!!

Nick with his favorite Hot English Mustard (of which we bought four jars back)

Joshy's beautiful cat JJ

The beautiful Bee and I - it was so nice to see some of my friends.

Lynley and Trish - somehow Jo got out of having her photo taken!!!
Visiting at CDH.

Now firstly let me say that I did not eat this on my own - we ate it between 5 of us!!!! I have never seen an icecream quite like it - 8 scoops of icecream - it was divine.

So thats it - we are now back playing in the Sand Pit - along with our Aussie food which came back with us - Mustard, Marmite (not aussie I know), porridge, cranberry sauce for the turkey, christmas puds, loads of new clothes and shoes, toiletries - we spent soooo much money - but it was all on stuff that is cheaper to get in Oz.  

We had to repack our luggage at the airport as they were being really strict on the weight and we left with almost double the amount we came with.  So our hand luggage was so heavy. 

So see you all in another 6-7 months time.
