Goodbyes - Part 2

April 2015 

Hi, Rach here. I figured it's about time that I say a little something. Here goes!

We're sitting in Dubai Airport at the moment. It's massive and fairly grand. We've completed the longest stretch of our journey, 14 odd hours from Brisbane. Our next flight should take approx 7 hours to Gatwick. We're really on our way now!

We had a lovely time in Brisbane catching up with Chris and Nicole and Korah, and we met Nova for the first time. Unfortunately both the girls were sick so they weren't themselves. While we were there we caught the train to the Goldie and hung out with Stace and Blair and Rhi which was very cool! We were both very mindful of making the most of the sunshine over there seeing as we might not get a lot of it for a while. 

It's been a fairly emotional couple of weeks all up. It was hard saying goodbye to everyone, especially Mum and Dad. And Liam ;-) They're both very proficient in using Whatsapp and Skype, and Mum's even on Facebook now so it's going to be really easy to keep in touch :-)

We're going to try and stay awake for the rest of the day if we can. While it's 6:45am here now, it's 3:45am in London and we want to get into that rhythm as soon as we can. 

Highlights of late:

1) Seeing all our family and friends

2) Mum's Pineapple Pudding

3) Chris' homemade burgers

Lowlights of late:

1) Saying goodbye to family and friends

2) Not having any room in my luggage for Tim Tams

Catch ya later!
