Flight Back to Sydney

                                    

                                          
Nicola and I woke up around mid-morning after some much-needed rest.  "How about we switch our morning routine up and go to the little restaurant downstairs for breakfast," I suggested.  "Sounds good to me," Nicola replied.  We washed our faces, brushed our teeth, and threw on tank tops and shorts.  I brushed my hair and put it in a bun while Nicola put her hair in a ponytail.  We slipped into our flip flops and went downstairs with our purses.  The restaurant was easy to find.  We were seated promptly and scanned the menu.  I decided to try something different.  After a few minutes, the waiter came to take our order.  "What would you young ladies like?" he asked.  "I would like the Hawaiian omelette with a fruit cup and a glass of milk," I answered.  "I'll have blueberry pancakes with Greek yogurt and a glass of milk," Nicola said.  "Coming right up," the waiter replied before leaving.  "Have you ever been to Hawaii?" Nicola asked me.  "No, but hopefully I will get to go sometime soon," I answered.  "It's kind of funny that you travel across the world to Australia before visiting a place in your own country," Nicola replied.  "True," I agreed with a laugh.  Our food arrived and we dug in.  I was pleasantly surprised with the diverse flavors of the omelette.  "This is great," I exclaimed.  "Mine is really good as well," Nicola replied.  After we finished eating, we paid and left a tip for the waiter.
                          
"What should we do now?" I asked Nicola.  "Let's go back to the spa," she answered.  We walked down the hall to the spa.  It was pretty empty so we didn't have to wait.  We each decided to get the Vitamin C Illuminating Treatment because we spend a lot of time in the sun and the Masque Leg and Feet Revival Massage since we are on our feet a lot for our jobs.  We were so relaxed by the time we left.  Our spa therapists gave us some helpful advise on how to keep our skin and leg muscles healthy.  "I feel pretty amazing after that," I exclaimed.  "Me too.  Plus, our feet and leg muscles will be loosened up for work tomorrow.  When does our flight leave again?" Nicola asked.  "It leaves at 2:30," I answered.  "We should start packing," Nicola replied.  We went back to our rooms and neatly put everything in our suitcases.
                          
We met up with the rest of the boys at a restaurant located near the airport.  We took our bags with us so we wouldn't have to make a trip to get them after eating.  Most of us ordered the chicken schnitzel but Maxi and Jesse tried the marinated chicken calzone.  "It's good that we didn't start eating out at all these fancy places before the logie awards.  We could have put on a few extra kilos," Hoppo stated.  "Well, we all better start getting back into shape because the lifeguard challenge is in a few weeks," Harries replied.  "Is it going to be done the old way where we go to Bronte and Tamarama or is it just at Bondi?" Maxi asked Hoppo.  "We'll go back to the old way.  More spectators seemed to show up," Hoppo answered.  Our meals came and they were quite delicious.  We all ordered a dessert.  I chose to have a scoop of peppermint gelato.  It was refreshing.
                          
After paying, we made our way to the airport.  We dropped our bags off at the luggage area and sat down at our gate.  Jesse and Maxi played a racing game on their iPads.  Nicola and I sat around listening to music.  Whippet, Harries, and Hoppo were on their phones.  We boarded the plane when it was time to get in our seats.  Hoppo looked like he was going to fall asleep any minute.  There's no way I would risk falling asleep with these pranksters next to me.  At 2:30, our plane took off for Sydney.  Besides a sleeping Hoppo, we enjoyed the view.  All of us were pretty tired from the excitement of the logies.  The plane landed in an hour and a half.  Whippet woke up Hoppo and we exited the plane.  After we collected our suitcases, we met Deano, Kerrbox, and Bisho outside.  We hugged all of them.  Harries, Maxi, and Jesse went with Deano.  Hoppo and Kerrbox left together.  Whippet, Nicola, and I went with Bisho.  "You guys looked fantastic on tv," Bisho told us.  "Thanks.  These two ladies looked especially gorgeous," Whippet replied.  "They sure did," Bisho complimented.  "Thank you very much," Nicola and I replied. 
                          
Bisho dropped NIcola and Whippet off at their houses before we drove home.  "Do you want anything special for dinner?" Bisho asked.  "Something healthy would be great.  We ate whatever we wanted for three days," I answered.  "Most people would think that's a good thing," Bisho joked.  "We're really going to have to train hard for the lifeguard challenge.  I heard it's coming up in a few weeks," I replied.  "Maybe you'll be able to win.  If I remember correctly, only one lifeguard beat you when you first tried out," Bisho said.  "It would be nice to win.  Then, I could be the youngest lifeguard challenge winner ever.  I'm not planning a first place victory, but I'll do my best," I replied.  When we got home, I unpacked by suitcase and took a shower.  I used passionberry vanilla shower gel.  It smelled wonderful!  I put on my pajamas and wore a hoodie.  I brushed my hair and went downstairs.
                          
Bisho made turkey wraps for dinner.  It was simple but amazing.  After dinner, I texted Josh.  He told me that I looked beautiful at the Logies and we made plans to meet at the stables around four o'clock.  I decided to go to bed early so I wouldn't be tired for work in the morning.  I brushed my teeth.  "Goodnight Bisho," I said from the top of the stairs.  "Goodnight Jennifer," Bisho replied.  I went into my room, turned off the lights, and found my way to the bed.  I got beneath the covers and fell asleep.
                          
Hi guys!  I'm sorry this isn't that great.  I had writers block but I didn't want to wait to long to post a new chapter.  I hope you enjoy it and thank you for sticking with me and continuing to read this story!
