Blimey Miss B, talk about going via Will's mothers to get to next door!! Melbourne is quite the wrong direction altogether! Safe flight!!

Safe journey MissBetty and happy landings!!!

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

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!!!

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!

thumbsup: There aren't really enough thumbs up smilies to to tell you how happy I am for you

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

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!

Woo hoo, on approach to Melbourne now - flying over Macedon!

She's arrived in Melbourne, now 4.5 hours before the next flight..

Yes I'm in Melbourne patiently waiting for my next flight - in the pub of course!!!

I have just watched tomorrow's weather forecast and it looks like rain for your arrival. Hope you have your brolly and wellies to hand. How exciting for you to finally be on your journey home.

Yep 14 and sunny today, 12 and rain tomorrow ha ha!!!!

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....
