How about some sunshine? How about some beach?

I shouldn't have been thinking of such actually as I am supposed to be revising for the exams coming from next week. Thing is, if I ain't planning that right now, I don't have another chance to.

Ya I am thinking of an escape to Queensland and I am almost finished planning. I think I'll fly to Brisbane on 23rd or 24th June, this is actually the hardest part. I hate those cheap airlines not offering a good price to Brisbane from Melbourne. There's only two flights every day by Jetstar and not at all by Tiger. The Jetstar flights are extremely weird, besides they all depart that desolate Avalon airport, you will have to either get up at 5:00 in the morning to catch the 8:00 flight or reach a complete strange city close to midnight... I would do neither. Think I'll choose to fly at noon or something by Virgin Blue, although the ticket is more expensive itself, the difference is not as much to cover taxi fares to Avalon, which would probably costs $120.

After two or three days visit in Brisbane I'll ride a train to gold coast and stay in a friend's place, which they just moved in. They will be happy to show me around I'm sure, but it is pretty embarrassing I would have to bother them for quite a while. I'll then fly back to Melbourne.

Wish I could make it as I am still not quite sure about the Brisbane part... But I'll try anyway, to escape from the windy and freezing weather in Melbourne, and to embrace some sunshine and beach up Queensland.
