Cabarita Beach

Sorry this is so late but i didnt have internet when i was up at Cabarita besides my phone, and i've been busy since.

Thursday the 14th of January we left to start driving up to Cabarita. It took 18 hours, 2 days, and it was a long painful drive, but it was completely worth it. When we got up there we had so much fun! We stayed at this resort that i grew to love! It was a place that was still a beach town, and didnt have all the high rise hotels and buildings all over. It was a family place, where you could just go out and cook on the barbie and then eat our on the balcony. I made this goal to make one friend when i was there, since it was one of those places where you make friends and go hang out with them in the day or night. They had this game room where all the kids hung out and you basically could just go join and doesnt matter who you were. People started recognising each other and by the end of the week pretty much all the kids recognized each other, if not knew each other. I had a group of friends that we sorta just formed. Every night after dinner the same group of kids went to the pool, and in the end we all became friends. We all started talking and then one night we all hung out, played mini golf. (which let me add, playing mini golf in the dark with no lights is EXTREMELY hard!) but it was loads of fun! (oh forgot to mention the resort had a mini golf course there.) The group i was with were kids from 12-16. The 12 year old hung out with us because he was brothers with the 16year old. But it was Cameron, Luke, Cassey, Claree, Abby, Courtney, Lauren and Me. Claree, Abby, and Courtney were staying together, Cameron, Luke and Cassey were staying together, and Lauren is Cameron and Cassey's cousin, but they were staying together. Between them they had 3 rooms, and they happen to all get put right next to each other. on the floor there was one more room, which would have been fun if we were in it, but it was a bad location. we basically had the best location for a room. no Joke! There are 4 buildings at the resort each one having 12 rooms. We were in the main building, that had the game room, kids room, and our balcony looked out onto the pool. There were a few distinct groups there, one was the younger one of kids from 8-12. and there were us. There were others, but they don't matter in this story right now. haha. well we didn't really associate with them all that much. The game room was great, because it was easy to make friends there. They had a pool table, and ping pong, and foose ball. So you could just ask someone wanna play? and then you get talking and meet people. I meet everyone except Cameron at the pool though.
During the day all the kids spend it with their family and do whatever they do, and well we went and visited friends of the Symons who live about an hour from where we stayed. We went to Dreamworld which is an amusement park, We went to tweeds head, i have photos of me standing at the Queensland / New south whales border, and we just did whatever we felt like doing. However one of my favourite days was the one we spent at the resort. it was the last day everyone spent it there, and basically I spent it in the game room playing cards, and different games with my friends, and hanging with the family up in our unit. It was a ball. The whole trip was great! and i was actually a bit sad leaving. i was thinking if that week was that great and i was sad to leave there, it'll be SOOO hard to leave in June! i can already feel it. Just yesterday, i was talking to Rhonda and she was saying how in a little while i should start thinking about sea mailing a box home. Time's flying by soo fast! I start school next week! Crazy!
