Steph's Travel Adventures

Hello again everyone, On the 21st of September I was lucky enough to see Guy Sebastian at The Star Casino on the Gold Coast. I left home at 6pm with Liis, who was accompanying me, and arrived at The Star at approximately 6:30pm. Although, it then took us half an hour to find a carpark; after five laps, we finally found one! Then another hurdle popped up, we had to work out how to get inside, because the level we had ended up on (the fifth level for reference) didn't have a lift allowing us to enter the building. We had to swerve between traffic to get back to level three, and once there we were able to ask someone for directions. We ended up having to ask two different people, but we eventually made it inside. Upon collection of our tickets, we were guided by security guards the rest of the way (phew) . We got to our seats and settled in. Guy's supporting act, Vince Harder, performed for half an hour (from 8pm - 8:30pm) and then Guy finally took the stage at 9pm and pe

The idea of travelling to Sydney on holiday first came up as an idea, back in 2015 while I was on holiday in Toowoomba with Angela and Tegan. We began looking at the costs that would be associated with two different options. Option one was to fly to Sydney and then hire a disabled accessible car. Option two was to drive to Sydney. (Which, in the end was the better option). However, many things had changed in the time between inital discussion and actually getting everything organised.  I then had to make the decision of who would accompany me to Sydney. (The staff that were originally going to be coming with me, unfortunately no longer work with me). Originally I believed it would be Julia and Angela, but Angela was not able to accompany me, due to having been travelling around the world for a few months! So the two people I had with me on my trip were Julia and Karen (as stated in my main Sydney blog post). Tegan sat down and mapped out all of our travel on google maps and we s

Hello everybody! I am so happy to be FINALLY writing this post. I have been waiting four long years to make this trip to Sydney, and I finally did it! On Friday the 6th of September 2019, myself and two of my carers (Karen and Julia), started our journey to Newcastle (Stop one of my holiday) at 6am in the morning. We stopped a brief rest in Coffs Harbour, approximately four hours from home, and then continued on our way to Newcastle. We arrived in Newcastle somewhere between 2:30pm and 3:00pm (i'm not entirely sure what the actual time was). We checked in at the Ibis Newcastle, and made our way to our room. Once opening the door we realised that there was only one room for all three of us to sleep in. We then checked out the disabled amenities, which was hilariously bigger than the room we would be sleeping in. Which isn't a bad thing, just something funny to note. We found our way to a little Italian restaurant where we had dinner. I had some delicious Spaghetti Bolognes
