How much do we want to spend on travel?

Written by

How much do we want to spend on travel and do we have enough money is the question we ask ourselves and you have to ask yourself too when planning your overseas trip.

Why do we and you have to ask this question?

For us as we travel with our kids for a long distances and also for a length of time.

This means our budgeted amount can blow out fast if we don’t plan.

The last thing we want to do is get to our destination and not have enough saved to enjoy the holiday and the experience after waiting for so long and organising to get there.

Here is the latest Costco Brisbane Updates for you

Here is the latest Costco Brisbane update for you as I have been down there in the last days and taken some more pictures.

There is plenty of them this time round as I haven’t put any up for a few weeks now as when I wet there last time afte rthe rain we had through Brisbane it didn’t look like much had changed at all.

I also went to the temporary office they have set up in North Lakes, you can see these pictures at the bottom, this is the office in Discovery Drive just past the main North Lakes Shopping Centre.

There isn’t too much change on the outside as they are getting down to the nuts and bolts of the job, it is looking a bit more tidier around the edges though.

Another thing I noticed today too was they are doing up the exists off the highway now and also around that intersection on the Costco side, with the amount of traffic travelling through to Redcliffe from there it had to start to be upgraded in time before the traffic got too bad.

This first picture is at the far car park of the Costco, opposite end from Bunnings.
