Nearly there...

We start our Saturday with a fairly early wake up to make our way to the airport we get rewarded by being serenaded by our 'French' taxi driver. This funny character bestowed titles upon us. Alicia now known as 'princess' and myself now to be called...wait for it... 'miss universe'! After a quick couple of verses from 'You are so beautiful' we jump out of the taxi and check in to Sydney Airport and let the excitement of it all wash over us. A nice hot cuppa and some fairly 'average' breakfast items. (Although, I must include, 'one' of us indulged in a chocolate croissant for breaky... HEY! WE ARE ON HOLIDAYS!!

Sitting waiting for our turn to board we once again stumble upon life's lesson of 'Its a small world' when we turn around and recognize an ex essential energy employee standing behind us. Both Alicia and I used to work with Steve and his wife Rose who both left the company to go on the next part of their lives journey. And of course, they are going to be on the same plane as us!! 

A couple last minute purchases... Chips, chocolate, neck pillow, more earplugs (these ones drown out to 30 decibels,so hopefully if there are any drips like last night, I should get to sleep!

And the time has cometo board the plane!!!!!
