Day 1 of our trip...

     Time to pack our bags and get organised to leave, even Buster thought he should come too.

We took the bus to the airport. The ride was quite rough due to our driver being a bit of a lead foot. I actually got to go on the O’bahn, not bad considering it has been running for 25 years, and this was my first time on it. We got to the airport with plenty of time to spare, no queues and going through custom was a breeze.

We didn’t have much time to wait before we were called for boarding.

     The flight was uneventful apart from some occasional turbulence. Our travelling companion who sat between me and Richard was on his way to Vienna; he and Richard had some good conversations. The service was excellent with great food and deserts. I watched a movie and read some and was also able to walk around which helped my back and legs. 

We landed at the airport one hour ahead of schedule. What an amazing place, so clean and well organised except we went looking for our baggage in the wrong place; never mind.

Room 911

     We were taken to our hotel by taxi, black car and uniformed driver. A four lanes highway took us all the way into the city, with a couple of tolls to be paid for, along the way. Once in the city, the traffic was frightening with cars and scooters going in all directions with the appearance of complete disregards for others on the road. It was a case of the quick or the dead.

Finally in our room with the unfortunate 911 No, it is good to relax with a good cup of coffee then off to bed.

Home again...

        We are back after a wonderful holiday. The plane flight home from KL was quite tiring, and I am glad to be home. Holidays are great but they can get hectic. We have learned a lot from this trip, especially on how to get around different airports. We appreciate a lot more on how lucky we are to live in Australia, where there doesn't seem to be as much difference around every corner between the have and the have not. I took lots of pictures and it will take me a while to go through them to select some for this post.
         I think the best way for me to put down our memories of our trip on this blog, will be to post our impression and images daily over the next few weeks. Hope you enjoy those memories with us.

One More Sleep...

         That's right only one more sleep and we will be off on our adventure. We have been overseas (New Zealand) before but this time we are going quite a bit further out. Our flight from Adelaide to Kuala Lumpur is a seven hour direct flight, not sure that I am looking forward to that, flying is not one of my favorite thing. I have started to get things ready but won't pack till morning..... Can't wait to get away. It has been a long time between breaks and after a difficult 2010, it is nice to have something to look forward to.

Blog under construction...

Not much to see here just yet, thought I would get the blog up and running before we leave on Thursday.

Also I have finally worked out how to link it to my photoblog, "Moments in Time"
