At last...

ha ha ha...at last, we are connected to the world, we feel whole again. Right, where to begin...
i suppose the beginning is best or at least where we left off...

Monday 23rd went well, dropped cars off & took train & tube to Heathrow, felt like a student, no correct that, like an 11 year old running away from home. We got to Heathrow in plenty of time, too early to check in so had a coffee & chocolate muffin (for my nerves ;-) ....went back to check in & guess what, BA's new fancy check in software crashed!! so instead of checking in ourselves, a very kind BA lady checked us in. mooched around terminal, tried lots of scents & arrived at gate smelling like a cheap 'you know what! We had an hour & a half delay sitting on plane waiting for BAA to remove their gantry! great, a relaxing 3 hours at Singapore was now down to less than 2 hours!

Good flight, BA crews are generally excellent & i even got some sleep, watched Julie & Julia (so reminded me of Kelly) then taking of pelham 123. Got to Singapore had a 15 min massage & skin nibbled by school of small fish. If you get to Singapore check out the Fish Spa. Then we boarded Qantas flight to Brisbane. I have never had a bad Qantas flight & this was excellent. Watched the hangover film which i found very funny. Landed in Brisbane on time, about 7.00 am. Took air train to city centre, a very good service that cost $29 for us both. We found hotel easily & checked in, dropped bags off & went exploring...

more on that next, but for now, Brisbane is a lovely city with more than enough for a longer stay. Janet will write next on the Brisbane bit...

Oh yes, we pick up camper van tomorrow!! look out everyone in Australia... & I met my first kangaroo today...

hugs & kisses..
