Urban Hunk flew me in to Canberra for the weekend. Excited and nervous. It had been a long week and I missed him terribly. On top of a hectic Friday, I had to try and pack carry-on luggage only for my trip. Do you know how hard it is to only pack a small case?! I had to put in clothes incase it was hot, cold, for evening, day time, walking shoes, high heels. I don't think men appreciate this difficult task. Having managed to neatly fold all my delicates I must admit it was fantastic being able to just walk on and off the plane without waiting for baggage. I also did the online check-in so I strolled straight to the boarding gate when I arrived at the airport. It was awesome. Although getting lost (only me!) trying to exit airport was frustrating because I was being collected in the Departures, not the Arrivals, but I'm used to walking against the crowds.
I was delighted that Urban Hunk got to spend all of Saturday with me. We cruised around Canberra and amongst it all checked out Black Mountain Tower which is basically a tall Telstra Tower with an observation platform for tourists. We could see out to the mountain ranges as we looked at the spread out city of Canberra which is also so green for this time of year. We braved the outdoor viewing platform which warned us to be careful of flying ants that could bite and sting! Who would put wings on large ants! Thankfully we weren't attacked by the nasty critters.
Left to my own devices on Sunday morning I laid around the hotel room in the sun reading the Sunday papers, it felt so indulgent to be so lazy. Feeling like I really should do some thing I went for a stroll. If I could find the 'off' switch for that voice that pokes me I would've been asleep on the hotel bed. Lots of people were on their bicycles, cars drove like they only had one gear, it felt like I was lost in time after the hustle and bustle of Sydney.
Leaving Sunday afternoon was hard. I wanted my man back in Sydney, back in bed, back home! Too many hugs and lingering kisses we peeled ourselves apart to face another week on our own. Four more nights and counting! And only two weeks until he returns home from the Canberra job.
