End of year holiday in Brisbane - visiting with the family

This year I managed to get to Brisbane to have Christmas with certain family members who are living in Brisbane or on the GoldCoast. I flew to Brisbane on the 23rd December with Virgin Australia.
We had Christmas day at my brother Bill's house. It was good fun catching up with some of the family. Sadly, not everybody could get there. I also spent some time at my brother John's house. I spent a lot of time watching cricket on TV or watching movies or visiting with other relatives. Generally, it was a good time to just chill out, by shopping or just walking around Brisbane and trying out my new camera.
I flew back to Melbourne on the 3rd of January. Sadly, the flight was delayed by an hour and one half due to a problem with the baggage. But we made it back to Melbourne OK. It is good to see Virgin Australia flying once more and thankfully we did not have any Corona Virus issues.
