Must remember to plan for weekends away!

We have some very dear friends who are heading off to Africa for a few years soon.  They're going to start up a school in Arusha, Tanzania, and it's going to be an exciting and rich experience for them and their three kids.  It's sad for us who stay behind, but we decided to take them away for the weekend to Port Stephens, which is about 2.5 hours drive from Sydney.

It was a tad wet on Saturday, but we managed to do a few things between showers (and during showers), and hit the coffee shops.  Actually the whole weekend was full of food! From beginning to end.  Very nice food. French toast and bacon for breakfast, coffee and French cakes for morning tea, gourmet pies for lunch, seafood BBQ and salads and baked potatoes for dinner, And then scrambled eggs and bacon with left-overs for breakfast, devonshire tea for morning tea, etc... And then, don't forget the wine and nibbles...Get the picture?

Unfortunately I didn't plan very well earlier on in the week, and forgot to save up my weeklies for the weekend. So I'll just consider it a lesson learned, and cop the gain on the chin. Or perhaps on the butt :P

I have one day to lessen the lesson, but it's still going to be a massive gain. Oh well, these weekends don't happen too often and I can't live in the world of regret.  Keep pressing on towards the goal...Paris, I'm still coming!
