Our holiday started on Friday evening when we left Mum and Dad in charge of the business and happily drove out of Margaret River to stay with Kim and Karen in Mandurah. Although we hadn't really gone anywhere, Liam felt happy that we had started our holiday and that is all that matters.
Saturday was a big day which started out with a drive to the airport and then catching our plane to Brisbane. All went well and Liam loved the flight.
He enjoyed looking out the window for the first three minutes and then closed it and didn't look again. He travelled well, which was pleasant for us. The only problem was when he left it a bit late to tell us he needed to have a wee and we had to queue up for a while. He made such a fuss in the queue that the people in front of us let us through and we made it just in time.
The flight went quickly and we had no problems getting our car and driving down the Surfers Paradise to our accommodation at Trickett Gardens.
The hotel is well located, just one street back from the beach and easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Bruce was woken early on Sunday morning (4am WST) by Liam so he went for a walk around to see the area and pick up a paper and some milk.
Later I went to Woolworths around the corner and picked up groceries for the week and we are now well set up.
On our first day here we thought we would immediately do something that we do at home, so we went to Sea World.
