Sorry if this has been discussed before (looked but couldn't find) - tomorrow I'm going back to the mother land for 3 weeks after having been in QLD for a year.
How many of you did this and (a) had a great time (b) wished you hadn't bothered (c) encountered hysterical sobbing at the airport - arriving and/or departing?!
Was hoping to go back for better weather
but it seems half the UK is flooded 
Also struggling to fit all my woolies in my suitcase - it's only used to having shorts and t-shirts.
Flying with Etihad - anyone familiar with them? Just hoping they aren't the cut price airline with outside loos.

We were going to fly wih Etihad too but decided to go with Singapore again. I did a thread about Etihad Airlines a while ago and I'm just going to try
and find the link for it............

...It sounds really really evil but things would be so much more convenient if the olds were to pop their clogs about a day after we got there. Oh god, did I really say that I don't want them to obviously but hell they have to go at some point and as we are executors for hubby's mum and step dad, we will have to go back then and......................oh hell

We were going to fly wih Etihad too but decided to go with Singapore again. I did a thread about Etihad Airlines a while ago and I'm just going to try
