Hi Everyone
Today I was contacted by Etithad Airlines. They wanted me to consider bringing my flight to Dublin forward from Saturday to Thursday. As I had no big reason to say no I have agreed so now I take off on my adventure on Thursday at 12.15p.m. two days ahead of my original flight.
Actually this really is what I wanted when first considering this journey. It now means I have two days to explore Dublin on my own before going off on the coach tour around the entire coastline of Ireland.
All of you who have helped me hone my IT skills over the years should be proud of the patience and tuition you gave me. After getting off the phone from the airline I then had to consider accomodation for two nights I did not have booked. After trolling the internet for hotels and B/Bs I have chosen a good hotel with reasonable prices. It has public transport outside its front door so I'll be fine.
Graeme(my brother-in-law) I will drink to your birthday somewhere over Darwin. Happy Birthday you are a great brother-in-law even though you are my only one !!!!!
School friends and peers while you have late lunch on Friday and Angela you are stretching your legs at yoga I will be sipping on a cocktail in Dublin.
I have one request everyone please a few prayers for a safe,secure and comfortable flight. Especially the first leg Brisbane to Abu Darbi- 17.05hrs. This will test my theory about this airline's seats.
Must away now to pack in earnest. Keep well everyone and I will post you all again in two days time-Friday night. That is if I haven't given in to jet lag!!!
Cheers
Anne
PS Helen I hope I passed your spelling inspection!!!!!!!!!
Whoops! Didn't pass my spelling inspection (since you asked). Abu Dhabi (not Darbi).
ReplyDeleteOr are you already thinking of "Darby O'Gill and the Little People?" Ho hum - after the jet lag and the cocktail sipping, I'm guessing spelling and all else will be out the window anyway! Bring back a leprechaun or a sample from his pot of gold.
Bon Voyage, Angela
How about pre flight jet lag, 12.51 am is a wee bit late to be up even when a panic (attack) pack is being done or had. You are so brave to be going off on this adventure alone. Not sure I could. Don't envy the 17hr flight though. Look forward to hearing about all your adventures. Good travelling and happy landings. Jenna
