High flying!

We caught a small glimpse of how "the other half" live for a few days this week, staying at the coast in the Hyatt! Steve attended a work conference to which family was invited, so we made a holiday of it. Here are some of the little luxuries we experienced:

• -an ensuite larger than our home bathroom
• -folded over end of the roll on the toilet paper. Sure makes you feel like a V.I.P!!?
  
• -bath robes and slippers for our use
• -room cleaners that made our beds (including Sarah's portacot sheets), picked up a few clothes off the floor- folded and placed them neatly on a bench, washed the handful of dirty glasses at the sink. It made me feel rather lazy- we hadn't left them there intentionally for them to do, just hadn't got around to it yet...
• -meals all catered for. Now that, I enjoyed :)
  
• -and of course the option of a 'turn down service' on the bed. Not quite sure why you would really want it, unless it makes you feel like royalty or pampered. Hmmm.

The boys were too young to realise the extra features of the place, and found the most pleasure in the number of garden pebbles lying around as ready amunition to ward off the bush turkeys in the scrub along the pathways :(

Caleb was impressed to see a large chess game on site as he's taken to playing checkers lately, and usually beats me!Sarah happily soaked up some sun by the pool while the boys played table tennis with another principal's son.And rummaging around in the "cave" discovered by a few kids who attended.But we're happy to be back home in our circle of the world again... With these things we will be content.
