News about the Power V Saints Game
I'm waiting for the tv coverage of the game between Port and the Saints. I still can't believe the game is on at 11:30pm on Fox Footy and 11:20pm on Channel 10. Oh well!

Impressions about the Gold Coast
I've just come back from a week on the Gold Coast with the family - we spent 3 days at the Hyatt Sanctuary Cove and then 3 days at Palazzo Versace. While at Sanctuary Cove, we went to 2 theme parks - Movie World and Wet N' Wild, as well as had a lounge around at the resort. It was nice to sit by the pool, watching the kids play. We saw most of the attractions at Movie World - Shrek 4D AdventureTM, Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster, Road Runner Rollercoaster, Wild West Falls Adventure Ride, Looney Tunes Village, Looney Tunes River Ride, Lethal Weapon - The Ride, Batman Adventure - The Ride 2. I chickened out and didn't go on the Superman Escape ride. Wet N' Wild wasn't as much fun, mainly due to Emma's tantrum and she wouldn't go on any of the rides. While she sulked, Brice and I tackled Terror Canyon, Mammoth Falls, Calypso Beach and hung out at Buccaneer Bay. He loved it and would have stayed there all day. Following the theme park adventures, we moved to our other hotel, the Palazzo. That afternoon, we ventured into Surfer's Paradise for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe and a visit the Ripley museum. We even spotted a meter maid or two! The following day, we tackled another theme park - Sea World. I reckon this is the best of the bunch. A mix of rides, attractions, animal adventures, not to mention Sharks and Polar Bears. We spent a whole day there, and we only got to see half of the park. After all the excitement of the theme parks, I took the kids back to Surfers to ride the Aqua Duck, an amphibious vehicle that trundels around the streets of Surfers and then glides along the broadwater. The kids even got to drive the Duck when it was on the water! We then did our own trundeling on the streets and went to the Gold Coast Wax Museum. There is only one word to describe this place - LAME! It's a bit of an anachronism amongst the other attractions on the Gold Coast. I should have gone to play mini golf at King Tutts Putt Putt We wrapped up the trip with some rest time at Palazzo Versace. It was nice, but the overall place had a weird vibe - lots of "beautiful people" strutting in their expensive clothes and refurbished bodies. The word of the day for me was "Faux". Definitely not my scene. As nice as the place looked, I was glad to be leaving it and heading back home to my own little resort, So, there you have it - a week on the Gold Coast. Photos are coming soon. I need to pull them off the camera. It was nice to go away, but it's much nicer to be home. I have another week left of my holidays, no email, no meetings, but I've got a bunch of things I need to get sorted.
