Let Us Sleep!

 I am not sure just how much sleep I am going to get tonight.

We have set the alarm for 6.30am  and it's now 9.15pm and we sit in bed in our jammies ( we are SOOOO exciting) and just relaxing. I have a really bad back ache which came on around 2pm today so I'll be taking some pain meds and riding it out.

We got to our hotel without too much trouble and Anne left the hire car at the drop off point and walked to the Hotel.

We decided to celebrate with a glass of Moscato for me and a Cocktail for Anne and we shared a plate of pickles and salami.

That will do us until the morning.

We are going to pace ourselves with food until we get onto the plane.

Why? Cause something super awesome happened today.

Anne informed me that she had bid on an upgrade and got it!!

Yes...we are flying in business class to LAX.

How did she manage that? I don't know - pure unadulterated luck.

But I will make sure that I tell you all about it as I have never experienced this luxury.

You should have seen my face when she told me.



Yes it's that pod one where the seat can recline flat and we get silver service.

OH MY BEATING HEART.

So let's see if I cry.

There is a big likelihood.

Good night lovelies - I may not post for another 24 hours as we go to LAX then to DALLAS and then to New Orleans.

Lemon Tree Passage Ghost - Local legend is alive and well

Lemon Tree Passage  is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia, located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula and surrounded by the waters of beautiful Port Stephens .  Ever since I can remember there have been a few urban legends about a stretch of highway named Lemon Tree Passage Road. The story begins when a motor bike rider and his pillion passenger died after colliding with a four wheel drive killing both. This seems to be the source of the ghostly lights and apparition. These sort of events don't stay quiet in small townships. Stories spread fast often not ending up like they started. Every so often this urban legend makes a comeback with a number to people tempting fate and poking the ghost rider.             A memorial to Dale Dickens on the Lemon Tree Passage Road / Pic: Robert Mckell Source:The Daily Telegraph The  Lemon Tree Passage ghost  f...

The Haunted History of the Hydro Majestic Hotel: Ghosts in the Mist of the Blue Mountains

Perched on a cliff’s edge at Medlow Bath with sweeping views of the Megalong Valley, the Hydro Majestic Hotel stands as a jewel of Edwardian architecture—and a hotspot for paranormal activity. Known for its luxurious past and distinctive Art Deco charm, this grand hotel also harbours chilling tales of tragic deaths, spectral figures, and eerie encounters that have become part of Blue Mountains folklore. A Brief History of the Hydro Majestic Established in 1904 by retail tycoon Mark Foy, the Hydro Majestic was originally designed as a hydropathic retreat, offering mineral water therapies and strict diets in the European spa tradition. Foy imported marble, mirrors, and even a dome from Chicago, installing them in the now-famous Casino Lobby and Grand Dining Room. Over the decades, the hotel transitioned into a glamorous high-society getaway, hosting politicians, socialites, and international performers. But beneath the glitz, strange events whispered through the hallways—events th...
