Noosa

Last month Damien sent me on a holiday with my sister. I was the first holiday I had had without Damien or the children. We went to Queensland for 5 days. Four of which were spent on the Sunshine Coast at Noosa. My sisters holidays usually consist of going to a resort during the school term. This wasn't much different. We spent our time at Noosa at the Sheraton Resort. She had got a good price for the room.

We had two double beds in our room and a spa bath. Outside there was a pool, spa, sauna and a gym. There was also a Day Spa if you wanted to pay the extra. It didn't quite fit into my budget though.






While we were in Noosa we both had a massage at a place near where we were staying. It was much cheaper than the day spa. It was the first proper massage I had ever had and it was really nice and relaxing. A great way to start our holiday. We also went on a sunset river cruise.


Most of it was looking at multi million dollar properties. The cost to stay in one of these house over Christmas for a week is approx. $14,000. For all those that have that much money to spare. We also had a forest to one side of us.


On Wednesday we went to the Eumundi Markets. It was huge we spent three hours there and didn't get through it all. I would have to be the best markets I have ever been to.

We spent Thursday in the gym, sauna, pool and relaxing in the spa. They had one of these bars in the pool. So we ate lunch there. I dropped some of the chicken from my sandwich in the pool. I did get it out though.


That night we went of to Brisbane so we could spend Friday shopping. After such a big room in Noosa we ended up in this tiny room in Brisbane at the YMCA building. It's not fun to stay at the YMCA. We believe it was to prepare us for home knowing that home is better than this room.


I was able to find some things to buy for myself which was nice because most of the time I buy for the children. We then went across the river to have lunch. While we were walking I made a comment about hoping that I would be able to see the temple from there. Rebekah looked up and noticed it right away. We could see the Angel Moroni from where we were.


After a great time away it was time to go home and back to reality. To my suprise while I was away some cleaning fairies totally cleaned the house. If only I could keep it that way.

Thanks Damien for the break and all you do for me. Thanks also to all his helpers that made it possible. And thankyou Rebekah for sharing your holiday with me.
