2015-1-16 my bday

Andrea phoned at 8am to say they needed help. Arrived there and crumpets and pancakes were waiting! Scott planned it with them at beginning of week but they said to me they would be away this weekend. Very sweet and sneaky. Followed by a guitar performance

Then high tea at riaz hotel with everyone...and happy bday song from the house band

Then a relief night at the well priced suture hotel about 30 min north along the beach...with water since ours has been out for a few days! With an infinity pool! Where Scott stole my secret bday surprise for him :)

Thurs 1 jan - home time

This was all the luggage we had for 3 weeks. Two smallish backpacks...3 summer clothes and 2 winter. And the uke back and my handbag with electronics. Thankfully no one weighed it! Just the annoying jackets to carry! Didn't mind carrying around my owl pillow as it gave us something to sleep on in the airport!
