home sweet home ….loving my wifi

. . . . Home . . . .

where the pants are stretchy

and the wifi connects automatically

. . . . .

most of you know that recently i headed off overseas for a little holiday

my husband i both love to travel and are always keen to see new and exciting places

in recent years , we have confined our journeys to within Australian borders.

out of respect for our daughters education.

this year however we left Bridget the glamping van

in the driveway

and hopped on a plane

destination 

Bali

this wasn't our first trip to Bali

we first visited Bali when we were young and carefree

however this time was special

 we headed to Bali

for a very special occasion

gadget's brother was marrying his wonderful

new wife in a traditional

Balinese Ceremony

we had a lovely time surrounded by our extended family

exploring and rediscovering the charms of Bali

i love the sights, sounds and smells of 

a foreign country

however i have to say i love the sights, sounds and smells of home

more

as the plane came down to land in Sydney

and i caught a glimpse of 

the Opera house and Harbour bridge the tears welled up in my eyes

(probably the fact they were playing i still call Australia home probably didn't help)

stepping out off the airport 

the sweet smell of an australian rainy day was wonderful

arriving home to find this beautiful message 

left by my kids

hearing their voices and laughter 

filled my heart to bursting

the sneaky monkeys even managed to arrange for my eldest to come 

come home for dinner 

it was wonderful to sit in front of my beloved Victoria 

(sewing machine)

and listen to her distinct hum

with the music of australian birds outside my window

and a light cool breeze gently drifting through my window

it was also pretty cool that my smart phone became smart again

and the wifi was quick and i can access the wifi

without heading to the hotel lobby
(although this was a pretty nice to hang out)

i had a wonderful time

Bali was magical and a great adventure

i loved spending time with my extended family

but i am a homebody

through and through

and i am always happiest in my Nest

more about Bali to come

"hope your hands are working on a project that you love"

Ciao
