We decided to join Brian and Winnie to Gold Coast for a trip together with our kids and the planning started in March. We got most of the logistics confirmed within a short period of time and embarked on the 9 day 7 nights journey together to Australia.
It is Ethan's first trip out via a plane ride so we have been fairly concerned with how he could take the 7.5 hours flight. Thankfully, the flights have been arranged at night so the kids were very tired by the time the plane took off.

We arrived the Brisbane International airport early morning at 615am. By then both my ah lou and myself were almost half dead when we touched down cos we didn't manage to have a decent nap on the plane as the whole journey was so disruptive. SQ served us dinner at 11pm and the whole meal only ended near 1am, then lights were only shut at 2am and for only 2 over hours, lights came on again for breakfast meals! We were then sent to our hotel at Holiday Inn and reached there at abt 9am. It was still too early for us to check-in so we had to lon-bang our baggages with the concierge and went around looking for light breakfast and coffee to perk us up. Ethan and Caden were being kept occupied with the company of Aidan and Eillot so it wasn't too difficult on this first day.

After breakfast, we checked out the supermarket nearby our hotel - Coles and passed our time there till noon, thereafter we got to check into our rooms and took a good nap before we leave in the evening to Pacific Fair Shopping centre for a leisure night out and shopping. The boys got themselves a set of Bionicles toy which kept them occupied for the whole trip.
