I tried getting up an hour ago, but I was just too tired. I sat down on the couch and fell back to sleep. Oops.
Talked to the hotel yesterday to arrange some stuff. I ended up emailing with their concierge and got a bunch of questions answered as well as a car booked to pick us up at the airport. One less thing to worry about. The concierge took care of the car, recommended restaurants, and was genuinely a pleasure to deal with, even remotely. No matter how much I bitch, this is why I stay loyal. Especially to the Doubletree brand.
That was my big accomplishment yesterday. Not much else going on. We stayed in the house most of the day. I am trying to be frugal this week in an effort to maximize how much we have next week available to us. We have the $500 in cash, but then I am budgeting another $500 for spending. That translates to about $700 AUD which should be fine. $1200 total for the week. We have three main things planned while we are there - dinner, zoo, penguin island - and then some smaller stuff like the aquarium and the botanical gardens. Add shopping to that and it should all be good.
The rough part will be time changes. I am probably going to miss a day for the first time since my last big international trip, but I will try my best. Be patient with me.
This week I have three days of CBT work and then two days of teaching ONE student. Whee. I am praying he just fails to show up. I can dream.
