Time has gotten away from me and I apologise for not keeping up with my blog...
We went on our 10 night cruise to North Queensland at the end of November and had an awesome time...I didn't know what to expect with cruising but we all loved it and would definitely go again. Here we are on the deck for the Sailaway out of Sydney...
and on Island Night!!As I write this Queensland is cleaning up after the terrible flooding that has occured and as we have been watching the news we remark how it was only 6 weeks ago that the cruise ship sailed under the twin bridges and down the Brisbane River to the port in Brisbane.
We climbed aboard a FerryCat and went to see the city sights including the man made beach at South Bank which was shown the other day underwater on the news!!
The Great Barrier Reef is a highlight of the trip and we all snorkeled at the Knuckle Reef Pontoon which was a fabulous experience!
There were so many great experiences and so I have already started my travel album and am probably more than half way through - Go ME!! I have been scrapping every opportunity I get so that I can get if finished for the new monthly travel class that Creatively Inspired are having this year.
Of course, just after we returned from the cruise Christmas snuck up and bit us on the bum...we had Chrissy this year at my parents in the Hunter Valley!
Both my brothers made it and it is the first time in about 20 years that we have all been together..what made it especially special was that the five granddaughters (my parents granddaughters that is) were together for the first time ever!!
I managed to get the five girls in a photo together but completely forgot the family shot...oh well...what can I say...next time??
The thing I enjoyed most about this Christmas...the joy that it brought my parents to have their whole family with them!
