Hi
I thought I would share my experience over in the ACT and Sydney …..
The flight was the flight from hell… The baby in front of me did not stop screaming from the moment it got onto the plane until it left the plane as I am a mother of 4 kids. I found this very frustrating as I would always walk my kids on the plane to have consideration for others however this mother did not have the same thoughts as I so the sleep I most needed was gone….
I arrived into Canberra a little worse for wear … I was taken straight over to the Langtrees of Canberra which was I very excited to see.. Once I arrived I was amazed at how much it had changed since Maryanne and myself looked at it last year and could see why Maryanne was so excited but also stressed. It was totally different, not only had she changed the old VIP Lounge but also had taken over the whole top floor so this isn’t an easy renovation. This would have made the block shake in their boots…. I could see we would struggle to have this even close to being ready for the next day. To think I thought it was going to be like a holiday, wow how wrong…….
So after having a quick look around Maryanne announces that we need to go to Kmart (mind you this is at 12.30am) so off we go…. We park near the front door, however, after 1am this door gets locked so we are now lost and can’t get back to the car as this is a big Westfield shopping centre and as you could imagine neither of us knows this shopping centre at all… So after walking for all most 1 hour we find the car …. But let me tell you there where some choice words to be had by both by 2.30am .. lol… I am sure we looked homeless with our trolleys full walking along the main road of I still have no idea what suburb….
We head back to Langtrees unpack then head home for a few hours sleep….
Monday was a manic day trying to clean and organise at least half of Langtrees for the soft opening …..
I don’t think I have scrubbed so many floors … The tiles had plaster all over them …. The more I vacuumed the more the tradesman walked the dust in…. The painters where still going mad painting and the doors, which I must say are beautiful, were still getting hung …. Every where I would stand I managed to find a leak where the new air con had just been installed… It was nice to see rain coming from Perth but just not on this day….. Leigh was running left then right and Maryanne was on full speed as always….
Believe it or not with all the team we made Langtrees of Canberra look as Maryanne had dreamt about for the last 3 months…..
The soft opening was very quiet more because we were all to exhausted, however we made it….
Clients and friends came and enjoyed the beauty I must say the oldest customers were over 70 years old and they are a couple so I knew then Canberra was a very horny place…
More to come............
Stay tuned
