Normally we don't do a lot for New Years Eve. We either stay home and watch a movie, or hang out a friend's house. Getting dressed up, paying big bucks and battling large crowds is not our thing. Unless we're away. And then we get dressed up, spend big $$, join the crowds, say goodbye to the old year and ring in the New Year in style. Being that we were away from home, we farewelled 2010 and welcomed 2011 by:
Paying out the big bucks for tickets to a NYE do at the Hobart Conference and Function Centre
Putting on our party clothes - or the nicest, cleanest clothes we could find in our suitcases
Catching a water taxi from the eastern shore suburbs where we are staying with my parents to the Hobart waterfront.
Strolling along the docks, looking at all the yachts and watching the last yacht come into the slips
Eating a rather large amount of good food
My non seafood menu:
Drinking unlimited beer, wine and some rather nice sparkling wine
Tormenting hubby
Braving the chilly winds to watch the fireworks
Being with family
Bye Bye 2010, it was a great year. Now bring on 2011. May it be good to us all.
