…abbreviated words are hard. Especially at 5:30 AM in an airport. We headed out to Sydney this morning bright and early eager to start our weekend exploring a new part of Australia. We were also eager to get some brekkie as we were uncertain if it would be served free of charge on the plane. […]
Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner…
…and brekkie, lunch, midafternoon tea, midnight snacks, and everything in between? My mama. That’s right! The adventure will commence in T minus two weeks. So. very. excited. (!!!)
