It was raining, which means everyone was driving into work this morning, which made for extra traffic.
I forgot to take a picture of all the bags before we left, and vowed that I would do it at the airport, get to the airport and forgot again. So now we will take the picture when we arrive in LA.
On the good note each kid was fine with manoeuvring two large suit cases and their carry on plus backpack.
If anything I was the one who was unco trying to manage two suit cases, carry on, laptop and hand bag whilst trying to reply to SMS's for work. Nando has subsequently confiscated my phone so I won't do any work today.
I did log on and put my out of office on, reviewed a one page document and sent two emails, now I am done.
So now we sit in the airport, waiting for our little dash 8 to take us to sydney.
Qantas have been fantastic, we got ushered through to a seperate check in section at the Canberra Airport, and all our bags have been checked all the way to Quito. We do have to collect them in L.A, show customs and then chuck them back on the carosel and they will be wisked away.
I am soo thankful for this as if we did have to collect the bags at Sydney and then catch the transfer bus over to international, we would not make the two hour time frame to get from one terminal to the other. ( the horrible expedia post is still being drafted and is upto 5 word pages long and still not finished).
We have munchies and I have a variety of cup a soup packets for my trip... But I have just realised that I forgot to buy a small jar of Vegimite :(
I have filled out our departure cards, and sent the kids off with the husband as they are already bord. I think they are all having fun playing the let try mums patience game.... the next 40.5 hours will be bloody trying I'm telling you now.
Well logging off to conserve battery now. Will take a pic of all the luggage at L.A and will update there or somewhere along the line.
