Rainbowfamily adventures part 2

Apologies, just saw that I never posted this from 2018 😕😲


Where was I in the last story... ah yes the first night of  New York. We stayed there for 5 days and did as much as can, including walking around 100 miles a day. At one stage I thought my fitness band was going to blow up, the step counter was going berserk. We all had blisters on blisters on blisters, but we kept going (and with no whinging, get us hey ;o)
We saw the Natural History Museum (got to see Dumb Dumb, and no I don't mean Super's husband, I mean Dumb Dumb from Night at the museum) getting to the museum was interesting. Romantically and what is believed on Facebook, we cycled there singing songs and laughing and joking while in a haze of butterflies and dragonflies. In reality, due to Sean wanting to save money we hired city bikes, yeh great. Yes they were great don't get me wrong. But they had a fatal flaw. You could only hire them for 30 minutes at a time. So around the 20 minute mark of central park we had to search for a new docking station. You are allowed to keep your bike you just had to pop it back in the bike slot wait 2 minutes then take it again. Simples hey. Well, yes simples but when there's so much to see and being that I am in a dream world all the time, I just wanted to pootle along and enjoy the sights. Not like last time when it was minus 47. So it was more like peddle and enjoy the sights while trying to dodge random Asian tourists who cannot ride bikes but clearly think they can, whilst trying to take pictures that don't give you a double chin or sweaty face and also while looking for new bike stations.
It actually was great fun, and Central Park is amazing. The museum wow, incredible and also the Library. That building is just stunning.

We walked across Brooklyn Bridge and gawped at that for ages. it's really quite amazing. We definitely did NOT buy more things from Tiffany & Co. New York is amazing but so hectic and hot, oh  my goodness it was hot, hot, hot.
From New York we split for a few days, we headed to L.A and the other half of the rainbow family headed to New Orleans. Of course not without a minor hold up. In the sense of being sat in the lounge and everyone's phone going off within about 10 seconds of each others. To advise us that there was going to be flash flooding and also the message advised us not to drown (I kid you not). So we were delayed as always while the flash flooding did in fact flash flood us. After the weather we had when we tried twice to land in Thailand we weren't put off by a little rain, but clearly the pilot had other ideas.
We eventually did board and 5 hours later landed in L.A. Hire car grabbed and off we went.

Started but not finished

Flicking through keep notes on my phone and I just came across this blog, not sure why I didn't finish it, maybe by some small rare chance I slept (yeh I doubt that too) anyway it's just a short funny little snippet from out fight back to the UK in 2023) Enjoy, but don't get comfy, you'll have it read in 5 minutes xoxo  Sean just had the audacity to say "you seem highly strung" I'm not sure what gave him that idea, the fact I've only had 3 seconds sleep, the fact I worked out before our 24 hr flight back to the UK, the fact I've drunk 4 glasses of bubbles, 1 vodka & diet coke (all important diet not full fat coke) plus 1 miniature bottle of wine, and in between I have had a 10 minute nap where he proceeded to tell me I looked like this (cue someone mouth wide open asleep looking gormless, that's a word that needs to be used more often) or that I've verbally attacked the guy behind me, look attack is strong I merely asked him to STOP KIC...

"It's just 2 blades Mum"

After nearly 2 amazing fab years of living in Australia we decided it was time to fly back to the UK (plus the trip was paid for and we had to go back within the 2 years, but nevertheless) our lovely friend Lex was due to pick us up at 3pm, we had a slight wobble 20 minutes before when Sean started shrieking “We have to book in Mad by 3pm”. “Oh ok” I tell him. All of a sudden our calm lazy Sunday waiting and chilling for Lex drastically became a shrieking match and frantic googling “latest check ins” “Qantas telephone number” and “in flight  movies” (well I was curious). We finally concluded that we were ok we had until 3.40pm to check in. Yay us. Still shrieking and Sean checking his watch every 3 seconds we got to the airport on time, baggage checked and that all important question asked “do you have spare or loose batteries” “no, of course we don’t” but no that’s not true “I do” a little voice pipes up. Ob is then asked to get said batteries and put in his hand luggage. We wave...

Custom's alert...

April fool's day was just a little while ago, and thought I'd play the greatest trick ever on my poor unsuspecting friend. She always sends me proper English Cadbury chocolate (Aussie Cadbury just ain't right) she has since said that she won't send me any more because of this but I'm hoping she's lying..... As always her little parcel popped through the post, hidden by me as I DON'T SHARE but not before spying some thing in there that shouldn't be. Not really sure I should declare it on here as she may now get into trouble. But lets just say it shouldn't have been in the envelope. I messaged her to say this and put the panic alarm to a slight tremble for her. True to style she then kept sending me links of bio hazardness and stuff like that... DID NOT READ, deleted straight away. Over drinks one night with Super and her husband I quickly began to hatch a plan with Super's hubby in tow and prompted what to do we got our wickedness ready for 1...
