Now that we have had a good night's sleep.....

Well, good morning.....

We arrived yesterday and after some 'interesting' events

Spent about 20 mins getting the seats we wanted - at least one window seat(we were 1st in line to check in)

We had a really nice chappy check our passports and he gave us a stamp (YAY)

Jodie & I got frisked for drugs & explosives in Australia

I got stopped as we were boarding the plane and they had decided to sit me 4 rows away from the rest of the girls (I spat chips - they move all of us to a middle isle)

We spent the flight catching up (NOT) with headphones on and watching movies
(I tell you.... the next time I fly to Rocky; I want to do it by stopping over in another country so I can watch movies that have only just been released)

Mum (accidently) threw her chicken salad over Jodie

I broke my TV screen by trying to play games

We got off the flight and all was going well...... The food & drugs sniffer dog (cute beagle) attacked Mum who pushed it away with her foot (force of habbit) and all our bags had to be checked. It liked mine and earnt itself 3 treats.

We got to the x-ray machines and Mum got dragged away because some desk dude did not fill out her arrival form. What really seemed to get to Mum is that he grabbed gloves on the way and wouldn't let anyone go with her. All OK though - gloves not needed (Phew)

Arrived safe & sound at the hotel (met people on the bus who were staying in 'our' hotel that we had paid for - and have not been refunded for). Checked in. Reservation was a little stuffed up as they tried to tell us that we would have to pay additionally for breakfast....... jodie turned purple and I was smoking from my nose.... we smiled and said we would have this all sorted by b'fast.

Decided to go out to tea and had a wonderful dinner and a leisurly walk (our luck was changing finally)

Spent the best part of 15 minutes trying to buy bottled water at a 7/11 - that's a whole nother story.

The tour 'guides' finally arrived with our stuff at around 11pm and guess what - ALL THERE AND LOOKING GREAT

CONFIRMED - OUR LUCK IS CHANGING - THE TOUR BUS ARRIVED EARLY AND WE ARE OFF FOR A FUN FILLED DAY BEFORE HEADING TO THE NETBALL!

Talk to you all soon - and don't forget to check out the pics.....
