Destination Gold Coast last day…Tambourine Mountain tour, fabulous day out. Tambourine Mountain Coffee Plantation, Curtis Falls, willow and Sage for lunch, Skywalk and Cauldron Distillery…could have sat here for hours! But, unfortunately all good things must find to an end and head back to NZ! Back to real life!! 🤪

Destination Gold Coast Day 3…it just gets worse!
JetSki to Stradbroke Island for breakky, personal chefs cooking us a divine lunch in our house by the water, visit to Dreamworld…I even went on a roller coaster 🎢 Steel Taipan speeds up to 105kmh, conquering my fear of heights but, still terrified 🤢, dinner at Dreamworld Night Markets, finished off with a visit to the casino - no fortune won though!!

Destination Gold Coast Day 2…
It’s a tough life but, I must do it to make sure it’s suitable for my clients! 🤩
Biking early am up the coast. Heli trip to SeaWorld to pat a dolphin! Hop on hop off boat trip. Incredible lunch at La Luna Beach Club, Duffy boats through the canals with sparkling wine, Hota Gallery and then networking with our amazing suppliers with drinks and canapés! Then our own holiday home right on the water! Think I’ve covered everything!! 🤪
Doesn’t this just sound terrible!!

Tropical Fruit World and the most amazing long lunch. The Sebel Coolangatta and a fabulous BBQ at Kirra Beach House. ❤️

First day in Santiago, Chile…just love this city! Gorgeous Hotel Magnolia. Perfect city for exploring on foot ❤️🇨🇱

06/05/2024

A bit if a delay in our Chile pics sorry! I was rather busy with our conference and Micky was unsure about posting on facebook! Will sort tonight when we get home.

In the meantime who would like to hear more about Hurtigruten Norway? Even if you’re travelling in 5 years come along on Thursday at 6.30pm for a drink, nibbles and travel chat …please let me know by Thursday lunchtime if you can make it 🥰

30/04/2024

We made it! Duct tape and all! ❤️

30/04/2024

Should we be worried about the duct tape on the wing?! And who replaces it mid flight? Should have had another wine!!! 🥴

28/04/2024

So this week Micky and I are heading to Santiago, Chile! 🇨🇱
I have our Flight Centre Travel Group Independent Global Conference while Micky is out exploring! Watch this space as Micky becomes our very own Travel Guide! Will he be like Jono Fren and be fixated on the buffet or be more discerning like Kevin and Janetta?!
Look out for our 1st episode on Wednesday when we finally land in this incredible city…last time I was there…backpacking and I turned 20! Not that long ago really 🤨
