As part of our wrap up before moving home, we have been planning final visits to some of our favorite Aussie destinations. We fell in love with Melbourne early during our posting, and have been lucky to be back there a handful of times. As luck would have it, we had an opportunity to do our final visit in October when Blair was sent down for a weekend work conference. Since Blair would be busy most of the days during the weekend, we tacked on an extra two days - just enough time to re-visit our favorite haunts. More importantly, since Blair was busy all weekend, Stacy was *supposed* to have adequate time to visit some of her favorite shops!
Unfortunately, as luck would have it, Stacy ended up being sick most of the weekend. The week prior to our getaway, she came down with a fairly bad sinus infection. The doctor she saw put her on a new antibiotic which she had never been on before, and she ended up having a bad reaction to it. Because of that, she ended up spending a lot of the time locked away in our hotel room for the first day or two. She was not alone though - she had her most favorite little person on hand to keep her company.
In the end, all plans were not lost. We were still able to visit everything on our list. The only thing that suffered was Stacy's shopping - but alas that was probably better for her pocketbook anyways. ;)
Ahhhhh Melbourne. We will miss your laneway culture, your awesome coffee and food, your beautiful architecture, beaches, and river. But know this. We are not saying goodbye - we are simply saying "See you later"!
