Tis the night before the trip

Well. the time has come... as they say and I still have not got packed.  Yesterday we updated our wills, which is a good thing to do apparently.  But it took so long and as we were really hungry after sitting there for 2 hrs or so, we headed straight to Kawana Shopping Mall to grab a muffin and coffee.  At least the wills are all done and we don't have to go back.  The solicitors are going to email us a copy and hold the originals at their office.

Anyway, back to trying to get ready to go north.  R has the AGM of his community thing tonight, so we spent quite a bit of time on that today. He had about 3 speeches to write, but didn't get them all done so was going to wing it!

I weighed my bag a short time ago and it was 17 kg already so I have had to take out my photos as they were rather heavy and can wait for another day.  Just have to throw some more clothes in and I am ready.  R will pack when he gets home I guess. I can see a pile of books, 2 polo shirts and a pair each of jeans and shorts.  But that won't be enough!

We will miss our walks around the canal.  This morning it was raining, but we still went out.  There is a new bakery just opened up on the corner of Nicklin Way and Kensington Drive and we got some hot bread. I was tempted to eat some on the way home as hot bread is almost irresistible on a cold day. 

Just to show you what our walk can look like on a good day, here are a couple of photos I took last Christmas.

This one is taken right at the end of our street. Some days the water is so still and clear.

This photo is taken up near the bridge on Nicklin Way looking across to Mooloolaba.

We are being picked up at 6.00 am in the morning for transport to Brisbane Airport so the next time I post it will be from Townsville. Yippee.  Just got to get me on the plane. As many of you know I am not the happiest of travellers.  Bye for now
