May 18

On Wednesday, we slept in a little, then packed our bags and headed to the airport for the Whitsundays, a vacation I'd been planning for a while. The airport we landed in was tiny and had no baggage claim - they just cart over your bags and then it's a free-for-all! I had arranged for someone to pick us up and take us to the hotel, so that was awesome because I got to see my name on a sign! =P Fancy. We got to the hotel and it was pretty nice. My boyfriend was pretty impressed which was good because I spent a lot of time trying to find the right hotel. haha Then we walked around the area, found some lunch and enjoyed the views. The tour I had arranged for the next day called to cancel because of "maintenance issues". WTF!? Annoying, but they said that they could take us on Friday. Luckily, we could go on Friday. But it didn't exactly instill confidence in me, so we walked to a tourist office and explored alternative options. Ended up getting talked into a tour to Daydream Island for the next day and stick with our original on Friday. Whatever. Then back to our hotel and a late dinner.
