Gate 75 – again!!!

Tuesday 9th April 2013

I didn’t think I would be  off on my big adventure so soon but here I am at Gate 75 of the Brisbane International Airport again not quite 12 months after my very first overseas holiday.  I have a couple of hours stop in Dubai and should arrive in London about 25 hours after I leave.

I have been so busy these last couple of weeks that I don’t think it’s really set in that this is it – I won’t be home for over six months. Pretty exciting stuff.

I even had a send-off group tonight – I think some of them were only there so they’d rate a mention in the blog  (just joking)- so, here you go guys! Emma, Jay and their children, Nikola, Jemmya and Isaac  were here as well as Barry and Carolyxn, and Travis.  It was lovely to have them here for hugs before I, left I’m guessing hugs will be in short supply for a while now!

Anyhow,  I’m off to be like a sardine for fifteen hours – see you next on the other side of the world!
