So, we've been pretty busy these days...trying to get a home and trying to make plans for the Easter weekend. They really take advantage of holidays here. Everyone has Friday and Monday off and lots of places closed on Tuesday too. I got my hair cut last Wednesday night and the shop was closing for 5 days. That would never happen at home!! So, they enjoy long weekends here!
We decided to rent a car for Friday and Saturday. Thought we would do a day trip out of the city and maybe do some shopping for our apartment. Yeah, home? Well, we found out yestday that we finally got a place!! They were suppose to tell us 2 days after we gave our application and it took about 10 days! Forever. We were hoping to know before the long weekend...so we would know what we could buy....but we didn't. I can't really remember what the place even looks like because we saw it about 4 weeks ago (one of Darryl's coworkers just moved out) so I don't know what will fit, what colours to use...we'll figure it out. At least we have a home!! It's not that big but no place seems to be very big. But, it's good for now. And the location is really good. And no stairs to climb with the kids. Like that!! We can move in on Saturday so we have alot to buy this week!!! Renting a car again this weekend. Eeekkkkk, going thru lots of $$$$$$$!!
So, we rented a car and really enjoyed it. It was nice to get out of the city and enjoy the beach. And the kids had lots of fun. This week is beer/pizza night at Pandemic and they organized a Ladies Night in April. So, I'll be going to that. It's a day at the racetrack. Apparently it's a really big thing here and the girls get really dressed up. Like - they wear dresses and hats. Yeah, pretty big deal. So, I don't know about the whole hat thing but I'll be going for sure. Sounds like lots of fun. As I mentioned before, everyone is super friendly.
....and here are some pics from Byron Bay and Surfers Paradises...our day trips.....
