Holiday Accomodation....
« on: January 02, 2012, 12:06:49 PM »
Spontanaiety strikes!!! And we decide to get away with 7 kids for maybe 3 days at the beach... so we start ringing arpound for places that are EMPTY... yes i said EMPTY.

The replies we got....

... Minimum 5 nights

... Minimum 7 nights

Its peak season... minimum 5 nights.

Yes.. minimum 5 nights @ $450 PER night... can do $400 per night for 7 nights.


mmmmm... maybe my business accumen is a bit skew... but these places are EMPTY for a reason... wonder what it could be.

For just under the same price we can all fly to Hong Kong and stay in a hotel with breakfast!!!!

Guess the places will stay empty then..

You can stay in my spare house in Kuranda (30 mins up in the hills from Cairns) for a carton (which you can help me drink whilst playing pinball)!

Last time Gav I went to a really nice resort on the Gold Coast, I wanted to go home early cause there is just no place like home.

7 kids Gav, bloody hell, nothing is cheap with 7 kids. I feel for ya brother.

Next time u get a few days spare, give me a yell and we can go deep sea fishing off the gold coast on one of those charter boats that takes u to a place where u catch shit loads of fish. My shout, you need a good days fishing mate.  ^^^ Even a mug like me can catch a fish on one of those boats.lol  %.% %.% We cant take Leon and Andy and make a good day of it !  $&&

Days off... yes... worked 27,28,29,30 dec and was taking all this week off, but phone rang yesterday and so im back into it
