Day 0

---

After dragging ourselves out of bed this morning, Hayley’s parents were awesome enough to drive us all the way to Sydney, kept us company and put us on the plane. A heartfelt and teary goodbye later and we parted company.
Customs was a breeze, we made it to the gate with ages to spare, the plane left on time pretty much to the minute, and now I’m sitting on the plane writing, feeling quite splendid, after a couple of drinks and a halfway decent meal, in terms of airline food.

The only slight downer was my video screen not working, which would have sucked for 24 hours. But the cabin staff were fabulous , and fixed it quick as a flash. Only 5 ½ hours until Singapore so we can stretch our legs for an hour before the long leg of the journey.
But. So far, so good. The nervous knot in our stomachs has left us, and its smiles all round. 
Now we play the waiting game...............

.........I hate the waiting game. Let’s play Hungry-Hungry Hippos!
