Niece J is the one in the hat (I got her one for Christmas), the twins are of course matching, and I'm the grey one!

Right now July seems really far away. Howsomever, the way time moves, it'll be here in no time.

I am Australian and regularly use wotif.com.au however there have been better specials on some hotels direct website. I'd check both. One way you might save is tipping. Generally in Australia tipping is not required as hospitality workers are paid good wages when compared to the US for example. I'd say they get $15 to $25 per hour depending on when they work (e.g. public holidays or weekends).
