What I remember (in 2024)
Flew back to Australia on December 15 to spend Xmas with family. Stayed until January 31.
A & Lynn came, but left on December 29. This was the mothers-in-law meeting for the first time.
Showed Lynn around the Central Coast and also had a day where we ended up at The Newport Arms, with Tania and Olivia. OTher touristy things included Putt Putt at Forries, Pelican Feed down at The Entrance, and Santa in a surf boat in Terrigal.
Christmas with Mum's side of the family was in Terrigal at K&J's new home. Where we also got me meet Poppy. Saw my cousin Michael for the first time in forever. Fays, Pittmans, Aunty Vi, Betty & The Zordans all there. K&J also hosted all my friends that evening.
Christmas day was spent at Trish & Nan's. Trying to show the Americans a hot Xmas, and all we got was a cool, overcast day. Dad, Manuia and Kathleen were there. As was K&J. Kara & Moz. Rob & Sab were there, with Grant & Jess. Can't remember the last time I saw all of them. May have been Grant's christening (1990ish).
On 27 December, Me, A, Mum & Lynn went and stayed in the Sofitel Sydney. Saw the Botanic Gardens, Opera House & did a boat tour on Sydney Harbor. That night we met up with Coasties at The Glenmore in the Rocks, before having dinner heading down to the harbour for dinner. Somehow we also had a night down at the Coogee Bay Hotel before A left.
Reggae & I went to Helensburgh one day in late January to see the Benno's and meet Josh.
Australia Day was spent on the roof of the Australian in the Rocks with Coasties. That night Reggae & I ended up in the city and had dinner with my old flatmates, Bridgey & Rach.
