Island Fun

Leave a Comment/ 939/ 0


Gotta love that top picture!!!! We are on Magnetic Island—came over from Townsville on the ferry yesterday and will be here through tomorrow. Chris has meetings all the rest of today and tomorrow so he will be tied up but I am having a great time. Last night there was a really nice dinner for the CSR folks and partners so I met a few more wives and we shared a great meal. Today they had 2 groups that went on jet skis around some of the bays and the other wife who is still here (the rest went home to jobs and children) and I went over on the bus with them, walked the beach and cheered them on. The group our husbands were on looked like they had a great time. I think it is going to be difficult for them to sit in meetings the rest of the day!

So i am going to chill out this afternoon and probably just hang out in the room and read until dinner time when Jeanette and I are going to meet another woman who is coming in for the sessions tomorrow and go to dinner with her which will be nice. Not sure what we will do tomorrow—we will have to check out of the room way before the guys are done so we will probalby just hang out around the pool or something. I don’t know!! We will see!

The resort is beautiful and the island is small and pretty uncommercial (is that a word?) compared to what some are and it is just a really pretty place with nice beaches and great places to hike. The “team” can go on a hike at 5:30 am tomorrow but I am thinking that that is not going to happen with Chris as it is optional!!! I tihnk he will choose sleep over the hike!!

Before I forget today is my mom’s birthday so Happy Birthday Mother!!! Next year is the big one!!! Chris’ mom would have celebrated her 71st birthday yesterday and my nephew Thomas will celebrate his birthday tomorrow so happy birthday to him too! Of course all my days are 15 hours ahead of you….so it isn’t really her birthday quite yet!!!

Will try to take more pics to share of the island before we go.

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
