A Week To Go!

Around this time next week (early afternoon) we should be on our way around 200k's from here down to the Gold Coast Airport at Coolangatta.  We fly out on Tuesday around 10 am for our trip to Malaysia and Sri Lanka. We jumped online and saw we were allocated a window seat each right at the back of the plane, almost the last two rows actually.

These rows only have 2 seats in them so at least no one will be 'in the middle'.  They will suit us.  We could sit side by side but that will cost another $20.

I reckon on the day we may be able to work out a swap with other passengers once on board.

It is around 8 hours to KL and we get in there around 4pm their time.  I have checked transfer fares from the Airport to our AirBNB accommodation in the city.  It seems you buy a 'voucher' at the airport for your trip into town around 80k's away.  The voucher system should ensure we are not ripped off at around $25 Australian.

Then we have 5 nights in KL before flying to Columbo.  We are staying in Galle which is a good 2 hour car trip from Columbo.  Though quite expensive on the surface to get transfer from the airport to Galle, when you take the total cost of flights for Trish and me as well as accommodation at a little under $700, an expensive ride to and from the 'resort' in Galle works out OK.

As the photo above shows, the bruising from my bingle on the bike almost a week ago is beginning to 'come out'.  It looks much worse than it is.  There is way more bruising than I first thought so no wonder it is still a little 'tender'.

Except for full strength in the arm, the rest is back to normal.

I have a Public Meeting to chair tonight.  Then we are off to Caloundra's Racecourse "Corbould Park" with friends for "Cup Day" tomorrow.  The weather is expected to be stormy but you never know.  It is a fun day with lots of laughs.

I have a Community Newsletter to finish for later in the week as well as a lengthy insert to prepare for the Association's website following tonight's meeting.  But most things are currently 'in hand' so it shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

I am off to the Chiropractor now so I had better get sorted.
