The scenery was gorgeous. It was odd also that your cabin number was 39. We need to see when you turn 50 if you have a cabin or room number 49. LOL. I didn't have to much of a problem of turning 40, it was 50 I started panicking. I felt old, after awhile it is eased up especially if I kept busy and not thinking about it.

Hi there! My apologies for the delay in replying to your comment. You're right re: the cabin numbers. I spent my last days of age 39 at the mountain (I turned 40 the day after we arrived home) - & to get that cabin number randomly was weird! I took it as a sign that God meant for things to be the way they were. Originally, my sisters were supposed to meet us there, but things went wrong at the last minute & they didn't come. It was a sad after all the anticipation. Thanks for watching :)

Thanks Mony, I'm sorry for the delay in replying. I'm going to Melbourne with my girl this afternoon, staying in Glen Waverley overnight (in a hotel) and coming back tomorrow night. (Going to a conference.. with some ladies from church - looking forward to it). I hope you &your family are well?

That place looks beautiful.

Happy 40th, Maria!! I think the cabin number was probably a sign of good luck.

Yeah I could hardly believe the cabin (number) we were allocated. I was 39 while there..but turning 40 the day after we got back. If money were no object I would have loved for us to take a scenic helicopter tour which is a 35 minute flight and about $170 a person.  It rained a lot while we were there and so the helicopter people had grounded their 'copters...so we wouldn't have been able to fly anyway. Thanks for the birthday wishes Curt! :) And for watching.

Belated Happy Birthday! Great fun video! Enjoy being 40 it was the best time of my life! By the way you don't look anywhere near 40! After 40 life goes fast so hang on! LOL! Sending my happy thoughts through the looking-glass.

Thanks Danny - it really was special. There was a 'moment' on the weekend where I was on a wide-open quad biking track. The sun was setting & I had given my husband & the instructor guy permission to just zoom-off "boy style" to do whatever -like tearing ahead at much greater speed (we were heading back). So I was completely alone on this track with the sun setting, beautiful surroundings - it was just me and God. I felt so happy. I was praying "Thank you for this wonderful 40th".
