Thank youWell at least there are a bunch of us really interested in your predicament and as a lifetime BNE resident, no better place you could have been put into quarantine. Get into that binging
Great information and photos you are posting. Really helpful for people to both know what to do and what not to do.
Yes we are. Thank you so much for that. I’m all good so far because I still had my travelling supplies that I took to Darwin. We can also order from outside shops etc like Uber eats, probably Woolies and Coles and I had my meds delivered from Priceline yesterday. Just need a room number and they take it to reception.
my collection of teas that I get from motels I have recently stayed in - if they have them. And other items that I’ve found I’ve needed on other travels. Some places don’t always have certain kitchen items. One of my favourite finds is that little green fold out chopping board that I discovered in a shop like Daiso. More importantly, can you order alcohol ?

I’ll attach the menu for today and tomorrow and photos of meals I’ve had since that first one I posted. When breakfast is delivered the day’s menu is attached. Yes we can have alcohol. There is a menu on the TV to order booze and snacks. I’ll attach photos of that too as well as the info pages provided by Marriott and another bit about alcohol from the QLD government welcome pack.Actually the food has been really nice. Yes there are some things I’m given that I don’t like (the abomination that is watermelon
), red delicious apples, cans of soft drink and most of the juices. But my bestie back home and her 2 young boys love the juice and apples so they are going in my suitcase yes you can definitely order outside food but I haven’t felt the need because what I get here is more than enough. Regarding appliances they won’t allow anything electrical in over 1000w. It would be nice to have a microwave only to reheat my meals because they really aren’t hot by the time they are delivered. I know they’re doing their best.Thank you. I’m glad that my posts are interesting to some. I had no idea what would really happen in hotel quarantine either. I only hear the negative stories in the media. Maybe it depends on what hotel you’re staying in, personality (some people can’t hack being cooped up. I’m an introvert so I’m all good
), food being served. I think some people just like to whinge too. I didn’t expect this to happen but it did so I’m just dealing with it and for myself it’s not that bad. Yes I miss my friends, kids (adults), my computer 
and my cats 
but I’ll see them again.
and talk to them 
It’s not my favourite thing although I do walk a lot at home because I don’t drive. I said ok I’ll give it a whirl. So today we started and she had me doing 100 squats every hour on the hour from 10am to 3pm. I can’t believe I did it. She’s really fit so it’s something she is always doing. I bet I sleep well tonight and will be paying for the squats tomorrow. She wants me to do it every day. I might as well First night I was a bit restless. I’d had a stressful time the night before trying to work out that QLD entry permit and worrying if I’d have to quarantine. Then it was a long few hours waiting for my flight in Melbourne airport with no lounge
and only a couple of shops open. My flight left Melbourne at 17:10 and arrived in Brisbane at 19:04. With all the border stuff and being escorted on the bus here I think it was around 9 by the time we arrived then dinner came at nearly 10:30. So it was really late by the time I fell asleep with so much on my mind and having to let people know what was happening. I really didn’t sleep very well and kept waking up so got up early anyway. But last night was much better. There were no little kids among my detainees so hopefully they arrived before me so will go home soon. I don’t recall hearing any squawking today though so they may have left.
Well it’s only day 3 and it might be just what I need. I’ll go check to see if there’s any reviewsBrilliant Basics Compact Microwave White - ECM720FPM | BIG W

for some reason I thought mine at home was 10,000 but it must be 1000. I’m going to double check with reception and if it’s all good I’m going to get me one of these babies.
Capalaba apparently has it in stock and my son lives at MT Gravatt East so I’ll see if he can go grab me one. He hasn’t thought to drop off any care packages to his mum (yet) so he should be able to do this for me. 
Thanks for the heads up about it @MelMel 
yea .. they could at least allow you to order a carton and have a 6 pack delivered to your room each day during the dinner service .... Although, if you chose to purchase a 750 ml whisky or vodka bottle - do they only measure out the standard drinks per day and serve you ? Wondering how they'll monitor the drinks/day if the customer purchases a 750 ml bottle.
I’m not a big drinker but will have a mimosa at Virgin lounge because why not
Well speaking from experience, you might feel it a bit when you try to lower yourself onto a chair, bed or the loo tomorrow. That delayed onset muscle soreness is a killer. Vigorous massage of the sore areas will help, as will drinking plenty of fluids to help the muscle toxins pass. Also, keep up a lighter/slower exercise even if sore - it definitely helps it to resolve a bit faster in my experience (Seat Daughter (34) is a part time group fitness instructor, so boy do I know it!I bet I sleep well tonight and will be paying for the squats tomorrow.

yes making sure to keep up with the water 
Definitely will take it easier tomorrow if I’ve seized up 
You can. To meet RSA requirements they might dole it out a six pack at a time, but I've ordered wine in Brisbane HQ from BWS myself. It wasn't an issue
We have been travelling in Japan a lot since 1984. Usually every year. Daiso and the 100yen shop are my faves. You find SO MUCH stuff YOU NEED !! or you didnt know you neededOne of my favourite finds is that little green fold out chopping board that I discovered in a shop like Daiso.
