We’re on our way!
I am writing this on the plane as we wing our way to Perth. This is one of the very few QANTAS flights which has WiFi so here I am tapping away on the iPad while we wait for lunch to be served.
Car arrived right on time this morning so we sat in the QANTAS lounge for a while then meandered to the gate. The flight path is showing that we have about 4 3/4 hours to Perth then just under 3 hours before boarding the flight to London. In that time we have to get from the Domestic terminal to the International one. They are in the same complex apparently so no bus ride needed.
Of course as per usual, I was the one pulled aside for the extra security check. I must look like a terribly suspicious character as that happened on the last trip. I had to pull everything out of the laptop bag (the laptop was already out) so this included folders, cords, earplugs and 2 external hard drives! Everything including me was then swabbed. Sigh! This will probably happen again in Perth.
On this plane, there are no screens as it is expected that everyone will use their own device and you stream the entertainment via the QANTAS app on your phone, iPad etc.
Safe travels!!! Looking forward to following your trip and seeing lots of photos! So excited for you!
Clearly, Kirby’s stash of pills is viewed as a ruse to distract attention from whatever nefarious activities you are engaged in!
Here we are at GSQ 10.05am – Thursday morning and every spare seat is taken, Ian and Robyn are being rushed off their seats and their genealogy expertise is being tested to the limit!!! I can hear them both sighing … where is Cathie???? being served champagne and truffels in her 1st Class seat. Matt wants to know if the pink/purple nightie made the bag!!!
Only joking… all is quiet on the Western Front. Hope it stays that way. Miss you heaps..

Helen McKinnon, you are such a kidder! I have great faith in Ian and Robyn handling the hordes with great aplomb and genealogical knowledge too.
You can tell that young Matt that the pink nightie didn’t make it but the pink PJs did. Not that I needed to bring any as we get two sets each over and back on the planes.
Bob has lifted the lid – let the cat out of the bag and divulged state secrets. We are engaged in that most nefarious of activities known as family history research, designed to lead to addiction, secrets, breakdowns and, at times, bankruptcy.
