If any of you have been living under a rock for the last 2 weeks, you may not have noticed that one the best people in the world- let me rephrase that- THE best person in the world hasn't been here on DandF! :lol:

WELL, where do I begin?!

I woke up at 4am on Saturday 10th September to go to the airport. I :LOVE: airports! Yet, we had a bit of a scare!! I don't like going through tthe customs and stuff, its too scary. I had to take off my belt and then i had to open my bag with this security guy because i had a little deoderant spray thingy... eeek all is good. BUT THEN they did some radom check of passesngers on my dad and they swab his clothes and stuff and put the cloth into a machine... AND IT WENT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o !!!!!!!! wholey crap!!! so then we were there for ages and they didd 3 more tests and its all good.... the guy reassured us that the machine picks up substances from about 1 year before... gosh... then we got on the plane...

oh and before i leave tht chapter to that, I would just like to say, I KNOW WHO 80's GUY IS!!! hahahahaha he was going on holiday with his family at the same time as us! ohhhh its too scary coz my family knows his! .......... anyway, i love taking off and landing in aeroplanes... well, taking off is wayzer better!!!! ooohh so fun!!!

Well I got to sydney, i love sydney, and got outside the airport to get our rental car and Ronnie drives past! he's so cute! oh wait, you wouldn't have a clue who i'm talking about HAHAHA! he's my uncle Bill's partner! i love them for their freeness haha. They're so rich... I GOT to ride in the Merc! ohhhh good times! i have also decided that i want to live in Sydney! you know, bill and ronnie once spent $650 JUST on one nights meal! GOSH! but i love them!

So then i was in Sydney for a day, its so fun. Theres so many people and don't get me started on how many noice cars there are! ohhh and guys hahaha.. we went to a place for brunch and then we went on a bit of a tour round the city. There's so much stuff there and its hard to take it all in haha... but i love it. The MYER there was 6 storeys of MYERness!!! :lol: yer don't see that everyday haha

So then we left and got to our place we are staying at Oberon. It was cold. Yes. It was nice. We went to look at the surrounding area and went caving which was pretty cool. You know, there's only so much 'environment' that a person can take... LOL!! Here's some pics of my journey before the Gold Coast:

Thar's me @ the snow which I have never experienced before!
