OK, so uhmmmm.. WE'RE IN THE GOLD COAST!!   Well in broadbeach to be exact.. but the point is, we are finally in our apartments where we will live permanently for the next three weeks and some days!  No more living out of suitcases for a while!

By ten o clock this morning we were loaded up on the bus to go..... to a "shopping centere" for two hours... It consisted of three stores and a little cafe, a post office, bank, and "super market".. needless to say we were done making our rounds within the first half hour.. But I guess it was better than sitting in the tiniest airport I have ever set foot in for two hours.  I was just happy to get on the plane and leave.  Dont get me wrong the outback was fun!  But there is no need to be there longer than two days; three days TOPS!  I would have liked to MAYYYYBE stay an extra day so we could go on like a safari or something; now that is what we really needed to do.. no offense to the big rock (Uluru/Ayers Rock) & the native people (Aboriginals) but we could have done all that in one day.

I did a little journaling, reading, and napping on the plane.. and bought a coke and crackers w/ cheese for seven dollars... I repeat.. SEVEN dollars.  Food is extremely expensive here.  That is one thing I did not expect.  I was so in want of a soda the other day that I paid FOUR; Yes FOUR dollars for it.  Its completely ridiculous.  I will not do that ever again.  I am glad we will finally be able to go grocery shopping and not have to spend fifteen dollars every time we want to eat a decent meal... ugh.

So after a three (& some) hour plane ride back to Sydney (no dirrect flights to anywhere else along the east coast I believe)  we had about an hour lay-over and then an hour flight to the gold coast.. After a short bus ride we arrived at our apartment building and got to go up to our rooms!! :)
Although I am not sure if we will be staying in this room or not; there is a bit of drama going on with that situation.  I like who is in our apartment though; I think it will be fun! :)  We will just see what happens tomorrow.. I am just bummed that I cannot completely unpack my suitcase tonight for fear of being moved round tomorrow.. ugh.

Welp I think that is about all I have for you tonight!  OH!! besides the fact that I failed to mention we have an OCEAN view!!

Ok well goodnight everyone!!  Subscribe or leave comments or something so I know I'm loved!! lol jk.... but really!
