After some good lounging around in the comfy chairs, a little Asian lady arrived to wheel Kelly to our new gate – straight to the front of the line at security, first boarded on the flight. I could get use to this special treatment!
The flight attendants were lovely and managed to convince someone to change seats so Kelly and I could sit together. This DID mean Kelly and I were right in the middle of the family section again – so many kids everywhere. The kid next to us who was continually asking ‘why?’ questions was cute, the kid behind me screaming loudly on purpose, not so much.
It was a slooooow start getting out onto the runway. A connecting flight from Phuket was delayed, which meant we ended up leaving half an hour behind schedule. Oh well, at least we were on our flight and nothing had gone wrong!
Movie wise – I watched the first Harry Potter movie, the theory being if I fell asleep, I already knew what happened. And fall asleep I did. This happened to be one of the only times I slept on the flight though… which wasn’t really helped by the fact that dinner and breakfast were served around two hours apart.
The flight passed with minimal issues and Kelly had managed to sit through the pain in her leg. The promised turbulence was pretty much non-existent. Arrival at 6.30am in the morning. We had to wait until last to get off the plane but then weeeee, taking the shortcut through customs again!
Baggage was claimed and I was driven to my parents house to pick up my house key. A nice coffee and a chat was enjoyed and then back home again! The house was shiny and clean, there were energy drinks in the fridge and a stash of Tim Tams in the pantry. Perfect.
I might mention that it was one degree when we touch downed this morning. Such a change to sticky humidity but so COLD! At least it has been sunny though, which means a chance to hang clothes out to dry.
Having spent the morning doing four loads of washing, some more cleaning, packing and repacking for tomorrow I now intend to sit all afternoon and watch masterchef. Ah, the relaxation is good.
