Today is the day!!!! MissBetty's flight is only HOURS away from departure now!!!

MissBetty

Cheers everyone and thanks for all the good wishes - off to the airport soon, fly in 3 hours !!!!

Pain being in Cairns as you have to go round the houses to get anywhere unless you use Cathay Pacific and they cost a fortune! Will be home soon

Wishing you all the very best for a safe and happy flight, MissBetty!!!

MissBetty

Thanks very much, I'm very excited but quite anxious about the flight lol! I'm just used to traveling with a backpack so having 4 pieces is stressing me out! Know that I will get charged excess as well but that can't be helped unfortunately!

I understand but just think . . . once you are on the plane and the luggage is in the compartment, you can relax for seven whole hours and dream of the UK

MissBetty

Thanks! I am feeling all over the place today! My friend BB and Gay Boss are coming to see me off - I have put on waterproof mascara as I'm sure tears will be flowing!

Hey Miss Betty, what is the Etihad airline like? I don't know anyone whom has flown with them and wonder how they compare to Qantas, BA etc?

Enjoy the rest of your journey....
