Speaker 3 (00:18):
Haley A Max.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
I went on a little trip to Port Douglas with
my wife Eliza, my brother George and he's soon to
be wife Alex, and mom and dad. Oh and we
went up there and I am a thirty three year old.
I don't remember the last time it was like the
four of us and our wives that went away just
on a family holiday together. And there are so many

(00:39):
great moments and so many memorable moments, and I loved
it and I loved it.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
There are also so many moments where you go, oh, yeah,
I remember what it's like traveling with Peris.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
You notice things right.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
And I would like you, now, Hayley, to let me
know whether or not these seven instances are either yeah,
that's a fair criticism, Max, or no, you're an idiot.

Speaker 5 (00:58):
You get some bad stuff, because I feel like this
is like your mum's dream to holiday with her two sons.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
And it was, and she's thanked me many times since.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
But point number one, we were on the first flight
out of Adelaide, it was like a six am flight.
Mum and Dad, as mum and dads tend to do,
were at the airport checked in before my alarm had
gone off.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yes, my parents are the same.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
It's so annoying.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Point number two, As we were boarding the plane, Dad
is the same as me. He's I don't sit on
the plane for longer than I have to sit on
a plane for. And Mum says, now we have to
get on the plane. We have to put our luggage somewhere.
It's true, you've got a tiny handbag. It's little bings.
You have to put the it'll fit. Mum was so
stressed about that, and Dad was so keen to not
be the first on the plane that she boarded without him.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
He sat there and she was board with his wife.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
He got on the plane and she was already sitting
down with her bag up and well, and behold, he
had somewhere to put his bag, of course, because you
always do.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
He sat there, stubborn in his chair.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Point number three.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
We're on this plane and we had like a fifteen
dollar meal voucher. So we've rolled along the line. We've
all got our fifteen dollars worth of food.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
He gets to mum. She goes, I'm not that hungry.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
She's brought a eleven dollars worth of the food, and
Dad says, you have to spend the last four dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
What did your mom?

Speaker 4 (02:14):
I don't want anything else. He's like, get another bottle
of water. And she's like, I've got a bottle of water.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Fit another two. Don't in her handbag?

Speaker 4 (02:19):
You have to.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
We've paid so funny character from a TV show?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Have you so many people out there going yes, my
dad is the same. All right, we get there, we land.
They stand at two different areas of the conveyor belt
so they don't miss their bags coming out.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Oh my god, they plant it out. It's actually quite smart,
smart in a way.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
We had a higher car and we stopped at Palm
Beach on the way up or Palm covidever it's called.
On the way up to Port Douglas. We all got
out of the car for lunch, and Dad brought his
laptop bag with him because he didn't want to leave
it in the car because it might get stolen.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Despite the fact that all of our luggage is in
the car, so.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
He doesn't care about everyone else's bag.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Doesn't trust that it's not because we're not in Adelaide.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
He doesn't trust anyone right.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
So nearly there.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Dad and my brother usually like they butt heads from
time to but everyone was perfect, although Dad had a
crack at him for sending multiple text messages when one
message was all that was needed. I don't know if
this is a thing in your family, but Dad hates
it when he gets messages. It's just like, hey, new
manage will be down for breakfast.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Send just having a shower. Send what your.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Dad would hate getting messages from me? Oh my god,
I send us.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
I think last one for you to assess for me.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Mom and Dad decided not to get their room made
up on one of the days because they would rather
have had the ten dollar food and beverage credit in
the resort.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I love that cashing over ten dollars. It gets half
a cocktail.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
I feel like half of it. You're like, yeah, I
can see where you're coming home. Other halfs just like
my parents are exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
God, I get this.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
It's so different when you're an adult traveling with kids,
isn't it, Because you notice the things that wouldn't have
annoyed you as a kid.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's funny it's so funny.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
I want to hear from you the annoying holiday habits
from people that you've traveled.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
With, because sometimes you can be great friends with someone,
it can even be your partner, but you cannot travel
with them you find them so irritating.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
We'll take your calls next with Haley Max on Mixed
one or two point three Mixed one or two point
three Haleya Max in the morning.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
At the moment, we are talking about going on holidays
with people and the annoying holiday habits that maybe they
come with and why you can't.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Go on holiday with them Again. With Kayla, can you
tell us the annoying holiday habit?

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, Me and my.

Speaker 7 (04:31):
Best friend like to travel together when we ken and
she insists on listening to music to fall asleep. I'm
a very light sleeper, so it takes a lot for
me to get to sleep, and I can wake up
really easy.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
So annoying.

Speaker 7 (04:41):
And here I am langwey, tweeling my clums maybe trying
to watch my phone or something to go to sleep,
and I'm hearing her music and her snoring in my ears.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
So it's oh, it's really what type of music? Mikayla
like literally anything.

Speaker 7 (04:54):
I could be playing there listening to one calm. Next
minute or the next minute is like a beat, and
I just want to get up and start dancing, but
while trying to asleep.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, you need separate rooms.

Speaker 7 (05:02):
Oh definitely. Our next holiday we're planning, I think I
might have to do that because I don't want to
relax on a holiday, not walk around yawning all day.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Absolutely, all right, thank you Mikayla and Sam. What's the
annoying travel abbit that you've experienced?

Speaker 8 (05:14):
Oh, well, I'm actually the annoying travel person. I don't
ever book enough luggage. And once my husband and I
went to cams and we took our wet suits over there,
but they were a little bit wet on the way
back so they were too heavy, so we had to
wear our wet suit on the airplane to Adelaide.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
You wore your wet suit under your clothes.

Speaker 8 (05:33):
Yeah, it was very funny, funny last people to get
on the plane, so everybody was watching us wearing it.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
When you know you're gonna do we what do you do? Somebody?

Speaker 4 (05:47):
You know what it's like?

Speaker 5 (05:47):
You if I said two people walking on the plane
with wet suits, myself The.

Speaker 8 (05:56):
Funny thing was I was wearing a little skirt, so
I had a little skirt.

Speaker 9 (05:59):
Over the top of my.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
She's got flippers on and a snork.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Sam.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
That's gold. Thank you so much.

Speaker 8 (06:07):
From now on, my husband always said, did you book
a US luggage this time?

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Your luggage please?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Thank you have been beautiful Ironbank. What's your story?

Speaker 10 (06:15):
My daughter and myself went to the UK for visits
and family, and while we were there, my parents decided
they were going to book us a little holiday down
to Devon, which you know, sounds really really lovely, but
they do like to give us surprises. Unbeknown to us,
it was actually an over fifties coach turk.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
One of those How was it like?

Speaker 10 (06:39):
I was forty five, my daughter was twenty three, and
my parents, in their early seventies were the youngest on
there other than us.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
Oh, an over fifties coach to us over fifties do
you guys get.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
On or what?

Speaker 10 (06:54):
It was supposed to be like a four hour trip
to the location where we were heading, and it ended
up because there were different roadworks and problems on the motorway,
we were on there for eleven hours each way.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Hours each way Oh my god.

Speaker 10 (07:10):
There were many people that didn't make it.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Let's put it that way, like they died because they
was so old.

Speaker 10 (07:16):
No, they didn't make the bathroom.

Speaker 7 (07:18):
It was.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
What a night there, holiday? Thank you damn, that's hilarious.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
I think we need to get your mom, your beautiful
mom who would have this is her dream come true,
who went on a holiday with her two boys and
her daughter in law's.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Husband family holiday. How does she feel about you bagging
her on the radio.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Like a rite a reply? She probably has some stuff
to say about me as well.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Let's get a little Meggie on it.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Let's get a dish the dirt on how Max is
on a holiday.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
It's coming on next or mix Mix one O two
point three Hailey and Max in the morning.

Speaker 6 (07:51):
Okay, so you've just got on the radio after your
beautiful family holiday and out of it, out did your
mom and dad.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Meg and stew and the annoying holiday habits that maybe
they come with.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Meg's on the phone right now.

Speaker 9 (08:03):
Oh hello, I just can't believe it. I thought we'd
had the most wonderful holiday, all of us together. I
must have been in mala land, because obviously we were
very annoying.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
You know, mum, you know how I know you are
having such a good time. When we got off the
plane and we've been on holiday like in Cans. We
landed for about ten minutes, we sat down out the
front waiting for a shuttle bus to come and pick
us up, and you were sitting on an ugly, disgusting
metal seat.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
We were all still wearing our travel clothes.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
We're all hot in cans and you're like, oh, this
is the life.

Speaker 9 (08:40):
Yes, well, any well, anyway, mates, my best friend Bella
did give me the heads up that you were going
to do something horrible about us, so I have got
a little list of my own. So when we got
to the airport, you weren't there. Okay, that's okay, but
when they're boarding, everyone's boarding. You were buying breakfast apparently,
Well we're still sitting there waiting and there were about

(09:02):
five people left to get on the plane.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
But that was very nasty.

Speaker 9 (09:07):
You were late. We were all kind of nicely pad around,
all you know, do we ring?

Speaker 10 (09:11):
Do we not ring?

Speaker 1 (09:12):
What do we do?

Speaker 9 (09:13):
And in the went to breakfast, but you were still late.
You said a few times, you can't say that, like
you know, we said the wrong things.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
Say some of those things, and we won't be saying
them on the radio.

Speaker 9 (09:26):
About from the seventeenth anyway.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
You know what I will do, I'll self critique here.
When you mentioned the breakfast before. There was one thing
I felt bad about doing on the holiday because we
were in this beautiful hotel and there was a beautiful
breakfast buffet.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
But at school holidays it was chaos.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
There were people everywhere, so families like lining up to
get in.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
You don't just walk in. There's not enough tables for
everyone to be there at once.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Every morning the three mornings that we were there, I
was never the one that lined up.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
I was always like asleep or in bed.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
I walked there and just happened to get there three
days in a row when either Mum or Dad or
George or his partner Alex had already done the lining up,
and I just walked in with them.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
And Saturday say.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I will and I'll apologize that I didn't carry my load.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
In that area.

Speaker 9 (10:10):
And you know what you're talking about us not getting
the room fixed up. You know we're saving the planet
and that's what you should be doing too.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
So when have you ever got of it?

Speaker 9 (10:20):
Saving all the time you should be saving the planets
as well. But look, it was a fabulous holiday and
now you've just sort of a bit of an edge
on it that I'm not so sure about.

Speaker 6 (10:30):
It's a tiny, perfect son now George is the favorite.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, it's otherwise perfect. I always appreciate you joining us.

Speaker 9 (10:38):
Yeah bye,
