Time To Flip The Mattress Comments Off

Wow, June is approaching! I can’t believe the time flies so fast. Or time actually zooms past?

June is normally the month I flip my mattress or replace it with a new one.

It’s also the month I check if I have achieved any of my new year resolutions.

A 2D 1N Trip To Las Vegas Comments Off

MadOops, I forgot to tell you the exact reason why I got mad at hubby. :-(

You see, I had been nagging at him to find a full time job this morning when he suddenly told me that he would be away for a 2D 1N stay at one of the Vegas hotels with some of his buddies next month.

landscape, and the birthplace of one of Australia’s most legendary bush poets. And on the way you can wander about the gorgeous Blue Mountains.

Heading out West from Sydney, it’ll take around two hours to get to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. There’s loads of Sydney Accommodation here, ranging from the luxurious to the hmmm-perhaps-we-should-have-camped.

After you’ve become the owner of the world’s largest collection of bunya nut vinaigrette, climb back into your car and aim for Bathurst. It’s a short drive on the Great Western Highway.

It’s not really necessary to prolong your stay overly much, so it’s time to hang a right and head east to Tamworth. It’s a five-hour drive from Tamworth to Sydney, driving on the New England Highway until you reach Newcastle, and then hopping onto the Pacific Highway for the rest.
