Being a parent doesn’t allow much room for spontaneity. Especially when you’re a parent of two and 32 weeks pregnant. Everything has to be planned way in advance, then double-checked and re-planned to be sure.
But I’ve always been a big fan of spontaneity – to do something totally insane once in a while. Except that it’s never the right time, you know. There are always a thousand reasons not to be spontaneous.
Sometimes, you just have to make it the right time.
Me: Babe, want to go Melbourne for a short trip?
Husband: Oh sure. When?
Me: We fly tomorrow night.
Husband: WHAT? That’s crazy.
Me: Just think about it. It sounds crazy but not that crazy.
Husband: Yes, it is that crazy.
Me: Well, is it the good kind of crazy or the crazy kind?
Husband: Pretty awesome kind of crazy.
Me: Ok then, let’s do it. What the heck, let’s just leave tonight. And we’re bringing the kids.
That was like 3pm yesterday afternoon, so I got clearance from my gynae, booked all the tickets, packed our bags and got on board a 10pm flight last night.
The kids were all like “NOW?? We’re going now? YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!”
Right now, we’re in Gold Coast and the weather is glorious. We’ll be here for the next couple of days, then heading to visit my sister in Melbourne.
This might just be the craziest thing we’ve done in a long time, or ever.

Way to go, Daphne! Hope you are having a fantastic time. I love the Gold Coast. I grew up in Brisbane, and we spent a lot of time at Burleigh, Surfers Paradise, and Palm Beach. I especially love peaceful Tallebudgera, which is around the headland from Burleigh. I hope the sun is shining for you!

[…] in travel Part of this trip to Australia was to go visit a lavender farm in Melbourne, courtesy of P&G’s all new Fab Lavender. It was a contest held a couple of months back and the plan was to travel later in the year after Finn was born. But things sort of fell into place so we decided to travel last week instead, hence the crazy timing of the trip. […]
[…] just a week, we’ll be heading to Sydney & Melbourne for a family trip and since this one isn’t quite as impromptu, I’ve had time to put together a proper travel […]
