the one... with a trip to versaille

Versaille was a personal favourite for me.  I spent a full day there and even though I was completely exhausted by the end of the day - and you can see it in my face - I didn't want to leave.

the one... with some holiday pics

OK I promised some photos from my trip.

I'll start with the first part... Paris.

the one... where I'm back

Well I am back from my holiday.

You may notice that I only told you about my holiday last week... that was the security conscious single girl protecting herself.  I didn't want to scream out to everyone that I wasn't going to me at home and with Charlie staying with family, it would be quiet at the  cottage for a few weeks.

I've been back for a week now and headed back to work this week which was very strange, surreal almost.  I think I am only now getting over the jet lag but still feel a little tired come 2pm and I'm waking up before my alarm in the morning - what's that about?

I had a truly wonderful time visiting Paris, Geneva and Florence and I can't wait to share some photos with you - just need to download them from the camera and phone and see what I have.

I have been keeping a little secret...  I'm off to Paris.

The plan behind the trip is to celebrate my 40th birthday.  OK, my birthday was back in December but I didn't want to visit Paris in Winter (this girl isn't a big fan of the cold, hence living in Queensland) so I promised myself that during my 40th year I would go!

It has been 13 years since I was last there and that was part of a tour so we only had 1 full day in the beautiful city.  That was enough for me to know that I would be back one day.

After spending some time in Paris I will be travelling down to Geneva Switzerland, Florence and Pisa before heading back to Paris for a few more days.  Then home.

I can not tell you how excited I am!

the one... with a little escape

I hit the highway recently and headed down with a friend to Coolongatta for a couple of nights.

Thanks to my lovely friend T for taking such beautiful photos.

The weather was perfect the entire weekend.

The plan was to walk, eat prawns, drink moscato, take nanna naps and get my toes into the ocean.

I'm happy to say I ticked all the boxes.
