Hi All!!!

Well the start of the next adventure had finally arrived!! I hadn’t been excited in the slightest in the lead up to the trip as work has been twice as hectic as usual!!

Mum took me to the airport and we had some lunch then it was finally time to go to boarding and my gate was half way to China, or at least it felt like it anyways!

Hi All!!!

Well the start of the next adventure had finally arrived!! I hadn’t been excited in the slightest in the lead up to the trip as work has been twice as hectic as usual!!

Mum took me to the airport and we had some lunch then it was finally time to go to boarding and my gate was half way to China, or at least it felt like it anyways!

I was feeling pretty good to near departure time but it was sooo hot in the airport and my thongs (for those of you who aren’t Aussies, I’m talking about my shoes!!) were giving me blisters!!

Took ages to board and had to catch buses to plane, as I think Thai still flies out of an old terminal. I was dying in my long sleeve light cotton top, it was soooo humid!
