The long plane rides

We left our house at 230 in the afternoon to start our adventure - a very long adventure !

Cairns to Brisbane was a breeze - Derryn slept most of the way lucky thing!  The boys were perfectly entertained and behaved with a bag of $2 insects and their tablets.  I was pleasently surprised that Virgin actually provided us with a coffee and juice complementary!  score!

Our bags were sent all the way from Cairns to Phuket so that saved us one trouble.

We then had to wait at Brisbane airport from 7pm untill 1am!! It wasn't as bad as I had imagined.  We walked VERY slowly every where - stopping to look and talk about everything.  A beer, pizza and a Krispy Kreem Donut made the time go a little quicker.

Finally at 10pm we could check into the international airport.  The boys were very excited with their short train ride between terminals.  Caleb was a good boy and he had a sleep on a comfey chair for about 2 hours - Blake refused :)  Daddy had some sleep too.

The Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong was lovely.  Caleb continued to sleep for a few hours and Blake finally passed hour for a few hours - Daddy slept for a long time!  After what seemed ages - I looked at the plane map - only to find we were right on top of Cairns!! WHAT THE!

8 hours later we made it to Hong Kong and a quick wait till the final plane ride.  Daddy slept most of it (are you noticing a pattern here!!).

Blake got a little travel sick - While I was waiting in the line for the toilet - he threw up all over me!! Lucky mummy!! Luckily he hadn't eaten too much so it could have been much worse - Thanks to the lovely Elderly Asian man near us who found us a bag to catch the last bit.

The worst bit of the whole thing was immigration in Phuket!!!!!!!!!  we thought we scored by getting to skip the huge lines and stand in the family line - Blake immediately fell asleep in my arms but we stood there without the line moving one inch over an hour :(  Blake is Very heavy !!!!

BUT YAY WE MADE IT !!! YAY LETS START THE HOLIDAY!
