Finally the much awaited day is here and although todays leg is a very short one I feel I must include it as it is the 1st leg of our incredible, amazing journey.
I must admit it was with a sense of guilt that I said goodbye to Rodd at Longreach airport, here he is wishing me a fabulous holiday whilst he has to stay behind to run the motel alone for the next 4 weeks.
Excitement and nervous anticipation soon overcame those guilty twinges however as I boarded the plane from Longreach to Brisbane! I won't bore you with flight details but after a pretty routine 2 hrs I arrived in Brisbane at 6.20pm only 15 mins past the scheduled arrival time. Bag collected I made the long trek to the far back blocks of Brisbane Domestic Terminal to find Debra and Patrick waiting for me in the Free Pickup Car Park. From here I was whisked away to Patrick and Sarahs' place for a tasty meal of Veg Lasagne, Salad, a red wine or two and much discussion on all things UK and Greece.... and some not.
Finally at midnight we turned in but I found it hard to sleep cos OMG, I'm off to London tomorrow... I can hardly believe it............
