weekend getaway pt 2
We awoke Monday morning to fairly average weather. We had really hoped for sunshine so we could head to the Marriott early and make the most of the pool. Instead we trolleyed on down to Robina town centre for a spot of shopping and a coffee (which was terrible). We picked up a new Apple […]

happy birthday G
The last time I saw Gerrod to help celebrate Gerrodfest was back in 2006 – and that took over 36 hours of flying just to be able to do this… Ok the surprise value was worth every minute of flying time, but lets just say I am much happier having him home and being able […]
