The Journey

WOW what a past couple of days, 40 minute delays, turbulence as i start eating dinner, chinos knicking our seats on the last leg and a chicken and lettuce croissant.

When i got on the plane at Barcelona i knew that it was going to be a great journey, the people were great and the decor was something I'd never seen on a plane.  I walked through first class, then business and oh my god.  The little mini suites you get but for the price I'd want the same.  Got through to the cattle market class and sat down.  Thank god we managed to get bassinet seats, the leg room was enormous so i started looking through the 142 films to watch and over 170 TV shows.  So i started to watch megastructures (sad i know Johnson but its how i roll, lol).  As the flight to Milan was just over an hour i decided against a film.  But once we left Milan i watched Unstoppable, i was a bit disappointed having watched the trailer.  I then watched RED (again slightly disappointed but still a good movie).

Before having a kip we were served our first meal, which was stir fried steak with rice, carrots and cabbage.  About to take my first bite and boom turbulence and the steak went all over my white t-shirt (great had to spend the next 20 odd hours with a filthy t-shirt).  Before i knew it we were about to land in Singapore, (7.50am local time).  2 hours needed to be killed before we were taking off on the last leg of the journey.  I got to a computer and managed to speak to Emma for about 15 minutes before the Internet kept cutting out and having to verify who i was as facebook didn't like me signing in in Singapore (Mark Zukerburg you are a USELESS MAN !!!!! Ginge and Stef that's just for you).  After getting mother some smokes and a drink for Kylie we headed to gate ready for departure.  Only to find that when we got on the plane some chinos had taken our seats, so i kindly asked them to move and flashed my............................................. boarding pass at them !!  I managed to get about 3 hours sleep on this flight and watched the very weird film Coraline, just as it had finished we started to descend into Brisbane, the view at night with the moonlight shining on the clouds while seeing the sky scrappers below was something special.

We arrived in Brisbane waiting to go through customs, and after seeing Nothing To Declare  i was slightly nervous (although i knew i had nothing to hide), i filled in my little legal document and proceeded.  Told them about my pills and then about the food and were out of there in 15 minutes, brilliant.  Then it was time to get some food, and KFC it was.  Typical though that on the way back both mum and Ken got stopped for random breathalysers we just got to KFC in time before they closed.  Got back to the house with the grub and munched on some KFC Mash and Gravy..... mmmmmmmmmmmmm that was some good shit.

Then the joint highlight of the trip so far, i got to speak to my baby to let her know everything was good and arrived safely.  After having a chat with Em it was time to go to sleep, i must have finally dosed off at 1.30am (3.30pm BST).
