24 hours of travel

We got up at 330am on Thursday morning to get everything ready for our big trip from Brisbane to Honolulu via Sydney. We were in the lobby at 515am and our driver was there waiting for us. It was nice to finally see Mum and Dad as their flight had been delayed and they didn't get into Brisbane until 1245 the night before. They had about 3hrs sleep- poor things.

Our flight to Sydney was fairly uneventful. Coop is a really good traveller. He has absolutely no trouble with his ears. He actually fell asleep and slept for 45mins during takeoff and the first part of the flight. The most difficult part of the day was spending 8 hours in the international terminal -5 of which was BEFORE we could check in! Jord actually slept for two hours on the floor. I felt like such a bogan - Em and I sat in a corner on the lino floor next to a power point while I straightened her hair. We had a long wait!!

Cooper was excellent on the international leg - he slept for most of the ten hours in his basinette. What a good boy! And what a lifesaver for parents those basinettes are!

We arrived 6am Thursday morning local time, after almost 24 hours of travel, desperately needing a shower!
