A Crying Wallet =(

A crying wallet? Ok,Ok,so you don't believe me that's fine.
But let me just take you back in time to October 1st. The plane had landed in Vancover (I was coming back from my trip which you can read on my previous blog posts). So we were in the airport and our next plane we were taking to Austrailia wasn't ready until ten long hours. So we thought we would just head down town. And so we did. That's where my mums mistake happened.
Yip. Walking around the shops..."let's go in there!"my brother say and so at this time in the story we are in a shop called Apple which is a brand for electronics. Not very long after we enter Apple that we see the latest iPod touch. Yeah we just had to buy it. It was like your own mini computer which can easily fit in your pocket. How awesome! Might as well ad I'm using it right now to type up this very blog post. And
that's how we got back to the airport with 2 iPod touches and a wallet crying.
But the only thing my mum said was "actually I like it when you keep up with the new technology". Who could ever ask for a better mum? Not Me!

Memorable Moments

So we said our goodbyes and a few tears were shed. Then we got our 5hour flight to Vancover where we will carry on our 15 hour flight at midnight. We went down town as we had lots of time to spare,I have to say I'm so glad we did because I got my new iPod touch which I'm using to write this blog post (please read 'A Crying Wallet' which talk about my new iPod touch). We got into a taxi and they dropped us of at our house, by the way that was pretty expensive costing over a hundred dollars.
Thinking back I wouldn't change a second of what happened. I've experienced so many things in the last couple of days. No actually last couple of weeks. And seen things I've never seen before, learned things I never knew was possible and met people I never even knew existed. Only to realise now that because of those things I was able to have an extra ordinary and unforgettable trip. Seeing my relatives again was one of the greatest gifts for me because those are the memorable moments I will always treasure in my heart.

Exhausted, revived & on the Go! 3#

(Picture shown above is where we stayed)
"Let's go to bed..." we dropped everything on the floor and dropped ourselves on the bed.
So for the next couple of days it would be just going easy, no plans just whatever comes.
First morning in Canada was boiling hot so after my cousin had finished school ( 1 of them stayed), we all went out to get nice refreshing slushies .  Later that day we were treated for a swim (also great on a sunny day).
 Wednesday we walked around the mall for a bit and later had dinner at a Chinese restaraunt, found out you HAD to give a tip...

Today we're all in a rush to pack our bags for another road trip tomorrow.  Funny that we all left it till the last minuite.

Thursday comes and we're on that 3 hour road trip heading for the Blue Mountains which is a nice resort.
When we reached our destination, we signed into a hotel called Westin Trillium House.  We went into our room which had 4 beds, 2 bathrooms, 1 living room, 1 deck and a kitchen which was supplied with everything you need.  After that we walked around for a bit in the shops then later had a swim in the pool and relaxed in the 2 spa's.  That night, we just lied comfortably on the bed while watching a movie and eating warm nacho's.

Next morning here we woke up to the mouth-watering smell of bacon, sausages and pancake all for breakfast.  When we were done, we went down to the lake to try out the paddle boats then my Mum decided she'd just go back to the hotel.
So, all the kids went for a walk and went to all the shops adults wont want to visit.  First we went to the candy store and bought bags of lollies and next was the chocolate shop and the toy store but instead we used our money on buying ice-creams.  Tonight is sit back eating popcorn while playing a variety of card games.  I'm pretty sure I've gained a bit of weight here too.
Now we are going back to my cousins house and today we are packing our bags for our 20 hour flight for home tomorrow.  Saying bye will be a hard and emotional challenge for all of us.

So Spoiled! Part 2#

"Come on wake up you need to get a shower...." My Mum said as she helped me to get up.
At 6:00 sharp we were at the airport ready for our 19 hour flight!  It was alright apart from a 1 year old baby just staring at me with her BIG brown eyes.

The plane landed, my uncle picked us up, met my cousins and auntie again, and we were off to America!
No, actually we we're staying one night in 'FallsView' a hotel close to Niagara Falls.
At night you could see the rainbow coloured lights shining in the water.
The following day we had a 10 hour road trip with stops along the way to reach Washington.

We saw the White House where on the top we spotted a snipper.
The Blair House where former presidents and state guests come to stay.

The Capitol a meeting place for extremely important people.
Arlington Memorial  where highly ranked and honored people are buried, 
and the museum 'Night in the Museum 2' was filmed.

2nd day there we headed for New Jersey. I was jumping and screaming inside as we took a train ride to New York City. First thing we spotted was the empire state building it was extremely large. But there was also the Madison Square Garden, Time Square and the Rockefeller Gardens which of course are also famous.

The sunshine spread over us that next morning as we woke up. We drove to a very large LEGO store and they had LEGO EVERYWHERE! We stayed there what seemed like hours (because of the boys).
That same day we went to Jersey Gardens Outlet. Everything was unbelievably cheap! We slept like babies that night. 21 September we head back to Canada.

Superb Sydney Part 1#

(What is here now was written in a book before being typed up on a blog)

'Rinnnnnnggggg !!!' My alarm goes off.  Before I know it, I'm jumping out of bed.  I end up here on the computer at exactly 12:19am. 

Wait a minuite...... why am I up so early?  Lets rewind a bit.  About 3 weeks ago my Mum informed me that we were going to have a vacation and at the same time visit our cousins.  So we've been trying to get all organised and ready for the trip (which at times were fustrating).  Where are we going?

Well, originally we were just going to Canada, but then it turned to Canada, Australia and America.

I felt extremely excited like someone who had just won the lottery.

We had to wait long hours in the plane and airport so imagine how boring that would be.

In the end it was worth it as we stayed in a 4 star hotel called 4 Points and that same night I met second cousins I never even knew existed.  Throughout the 2 days spent in Australia  we went to see 

'Sydney Wild Life World' which is like a large museum of animals.

The Sydney Opera House as well as the Sydney Harbour bridge.  Of course about a hundred photo's were taken.
