Where Are We Now????

Greetings. Sorry for the delay in updating the blog, but it's just been go go go.

We left Salisbury on the 11th of February and flew out on the 12th of February. Not without a bit of drama.....we checked in...nervous as we had an extra bag....no problem. Only gave us one boarding card...that's a bit weird....said we would get one in Singapore....fair enough. Went through to security, had breakfast. Brain wave....why not go to the information counter and see how we get our boarding card in Singapore. Girl looks at our stuff, thought it was strange and said the counter staff should've given it to us. She's working hard at sorting it out...then says...hmmmm, problem reading your passport....(mine...not John's of course). So she has to call and sort it out...seems the reader was having a funny five minutes. Mild panic attack was setting in....am I going to make it????

So we board the plane...that was a laugh...down some stairs and board a bus, to board the plane. Once on the plane, they sit us down, close the door and said, right...now we are going to wait. Due to fog, we were almost an hour and three quarters late taking off. Now in the air, we realise that we only have an hour layover in Singapore and we were going to miss our connecting flight..but more importantly, because John being the kind generous soul that he is, we could loose our upgrade to business....anyway, they held the plane in Singapore for us.

Business class....for anyone who has never done it....give it a go. You are treated like a human being, with names :) Very nice and the service was great!!!!!

Now arrived in Perth....more in the next blog.
