It was just like granddad to say that he was moving out without any notice. He had just retired from work and had kept his plans for retirement a secret from us so we were not sure what he was going to do. On the weekend that he finished work he told everyone at home that he was moving to Maroochydore to be near the beach so he could go swimming every day. He had already purchased a house by the waterfront using his retirement funds.

We were all really excited about taking granddad to his new place and the kids were excited about having a place by the beach to stay at during Christmas time. The house was a tidy little three bedroom brick home that was only across the other side of the park to the beach and the shopping center and doctor’s office were less than 100 meters away. He did not need his car anymore because of the great locations so he started to use car hire Maroochydore airport companies when he came to visit us in Brisbane.
