Family Trip 2011

 

Yea Yea, Ma Ma & Pak Pak came over to visit us during their Raya holiday. The 2nd day after they arrived Melbourne, we flew over to Gold Coast for family trip. I was very excited as I get to sit on the plane!

Mei mei’s first time on the plane. She slept through most of the journey

I have my own seat now but I felt so bored and restless. Make a lot of fuss!

However, it wasn’t a good start of the holiday when our plane was delayed for 2 hours, after that was diverted to Brisbane due to the weather in Gold Coast! We took the train from the airport down to Gold Coast and only arrived at our Gold Coast apartment by 5ish!!! (we supposed to arrive at Gold Coast before noon!) It was a very tiring day for all of us. We had delivery food for dinner than call off our day. Daddy mummy, mei mei and I had to share a room together. As it was a new bed and room for me, I struggled to sleep and only fell asleep by 10pm! The next morning I woke up at 6.30am right after ‘mei mei’!!!!! However, God blessed us with sunny day for the next 2 days!

Our apartment is about 15min to Surfers Paradise. We spent our next day at Surfers Paradise, walking around & enjoying the beautiful beach.

 

After lunch, I had my nap in the pram while daddy mummy they all walked down to Broadbeach Mall (which is 10min from our apartment) to get some groceries. I also get to play at the playground in the mall for a while and sit on the carousel!!

We had our dinner at one of the restaurant there before heading home. I get to eat my favourite pasta while Yea Yea, Ma Ma, Pak Pak, Daddy & mummy enjoyed their monster seafood platter!

‘Mei Mei’ wasn’t feeling good, so right after dinner, daddy mummy had to bring her to see doctor while I follow Pak Pak, Yea Yea & Ma Ma back to the apartment. They  had to wait very long in the clinic but I was a very good girl, even let Pak Pak feed me milk and put me down to the cot to sleep. ‘Mei Mei’ was down with conjunctivitis virus!! She had swollen and teary eyes, and very bad cough. She was recovering very well after using the pharmaceutical drops from the doctor.

The next day, we went to Sea World. I got to see a lot of nice animal shows there, but the best show is my Sesames Street show. I get to see my ELMO!!!!! I also get to take some rides with daddy before I had my nap in the pram.

When we went back to the apartment about 4ish, daddy, Yea Yea and Pak Pak brought me to the beach just right behind the apartment for a stroll, while mummy feeding ‘mei mei’ in the apartment. I still scared of the wave. When the wave came I will run away as quickly as possible.

After the stroll, we met Ma Ma, mummy and ‘mei mei’

at the apartment pool for a nice swim.

The next morning we had to leave the apartment early to fly back to Melbourne. This concluded our 3 nights short holiday Gold Coast. I enjoyed my holiday very much being spoilt by Yea Yea, Ma Ma & Pak Pak!!!! Daddy & mummy was quite tired during the holiday having to wake up constantly at night to attend to ‘mei mei’ and we woke up very early every morning during the trip too! However, they still enjoy the time spent together with the family during the trip. Daddy mummy, can we have more of the family trip please??
