Our flight was due to leave at 8.45am so we had an early departure from our english pub with some packets of cereal to take with us for breakfast.We arrived at Heathrow bought some milk and ate our breakfast. I aslo bought a travel pillow which I hoped would help me sleep on the plane (it was very comfortable but I still didn't sleep much).The plane was delayed by an hour due to the 'luggage loading being a complete shambles'(the pilots words) at least we have a 4 hour wait at Banda Sari so we should be able to make that time up. Arrived at Dubai and had a quick stop with a little window of time to do some computer work ie blogging . It is weird seeing people dressed in full arab garb and women completely covered in black cloaks with only their eyes showing. On the flight to Band Sari Joel started to feel ill and threw up once during the flight and once as we were walking off the plane. The paper sick bags they have actually work .They must be made of some sort of water tight paper? As a result the air hostesses got him a wheel chair and insisted we see the doctor at Bandi Sari. As I said we had a 4 hour wait so this was achievable and free and would help us get him in at customs in Australia so they said. Joel was a bit afraid that the doctor might mean needles but we asured him it wouldn't and he was only required to take some medicine and we were on our way.We still wheeled Joel around in the wheel chair with many staring at us . We also lay down for a rest on the airport floor/seats to try anhd get a bit of sleep .We also got preferential treatment and were issued through security first and onto the plane first, so it wasn't all bad. Joel did pick up a little but did another small chuck on the final leg and then slept the rest of the way. Ben was there to meet us as well as a group of Carlie's friends with flowers cheering as we came through the gates. Joel rode the luggage trolley instead of a wheel chair this time as he was still not up to walking. A wonderful holiday has come to an end. It is good to be home.
Well, thanks for letting me travel along too, I've had a really nice time thank you and I'm all refreshed and ready for work...
ReplyDeleteSee you guys in September when I come up for Sam's wedding:) We'll do dinner or something..I believe I'm free on the 3rd.
Was great to have you along for our holiday. The netbook we bought for this trip was worth it to keep conected to those at home via facebook for the kids and skype for us with the boys.It also allowed me to write the blog which will be a great memory for us all. I can recommend it for your holiday. Ben loaded our emails also so we could keep up with that. Great that you can come up for the wedding ,you can stay in the carriage if you cant stay with sis
