Finally all 10 of is made it to Sydney airport! It was hectic and busy and the kids were totally beside themselves with excitement - something I guess I should get used to!

Dad did this, Ireland did that blah blah blah blah.

Time to turn the phone off now as we head towards the gate to board the plane. Mum and dad will leave us now and head up to "premium". Dad won't be able to stand it - he will be back to see the kids the minute we are allowed to move about the cabin. I might just slide into premium next to Mum and get myself a few hours sleep!!

Next stop LA with 4 posatively over-tired kiddies no doubt. Stay tuned as the as the real adventure is about to begin!
