Hello everyone!
Well, it was tears and more tears after we had left Harry's in Brisbane this morning! Harry (Joe's Dad's mate and ours!) was such a wonderful host and i just absolutely did not want to leave him or Bindi (his dog) for the airport! BOO!
After getting to the airport on time and dropping our hire car off we checked in for our domestic flight from Brisbane to Sydney, which would then be followed by Sydney to San Francisco. I managed to get Joe and I the seats we wanted for our San Fran flight, it should be a "TWO": Joe at the window and me on the aisle (due to abit of "i feel trapped" syndrome that only kicked in when we were flying from Sydney to Brisbane a few weeks ago) i defos wanted an aisle seat for the long haul flight, oh and we didnt want to be sat next to some smelly old folk either, so a "two" was the best option! lol
Much to my horror a checked the tickets just when we were about to board the first flight to find that our San Fran flight was delayed by... wait for it... 4 hours! BOO! So instead of a quick de-mount off the plane in Sydney @2pm and onto the San Fran flight @ 3.30pm we are now stuck here until: 8.30pm! Rubbish!
I am currently sat in the Quantas lounge with a $20.00 food voucher (each). They are currently re-doing the Sydney International Airport, so at the moment there are less than half the shops, as normal and only one, i repeat ONE, resturant, so Pizza it will have to be! Pizza and a beer for joe and Pizza and im not sure what my options will be, water i guess! lol
Atleast we have been compensated and atleast its not a 24 hour delay (although if it had been, Joe and I could have spent a night in Sydney, with free accommodation and food lol) but hay de ho, life goes on... and on and on and on and on and on, in this DAMN boring airport hehe!
In about an hour we are going to get changed out of our flip flops sadly and into our winter clothes, all ready and geared up for San Fran's weather and the below 10 degree temperatures it will probably be! EEEKKK!
Should be fun though, we are very sad to leave Oz and have had the best time ever here.
Speak soon, with some American updates...if we ever arrive there eh?!
