GOLD COAST DAY ONE
The plane ride was good because we each had our own TV screens (I thought it was a touch screen at first) and could choose our own movies, games and TV programmes. We got a big surprise when we arrived at Brisbane Airport because Elaine and David were waiting right at the gate and took photos of me and Mum as we came out the door.

Elaine gave me a present in the car – it was some cool skates that you clip onto your shoes. We had lunch at Chermside (KFC) and I bought a Hamsterz Nintendo DS Lite game. I was wearing my skates at the shopping centre but I kept falling over so I took them off in the end. Mum spent heaps of money on clothes for herself! Then we went to Ikea, I waited in the car while Mum and Elaine went shopping. They said they were going to be 10 minutes but they were much longer! In the end me and David when inside because a magpie was annoying us and we had afternoon tea in the café. After that we drove home to Elaine and David’s house at the Isle of Palms in Elanora. I had my own room with a computer in it!
