Departee

A bit drizzly this morning but not unpleasant - the wind has dropped. Pick up was on time and (despite my street pic where I caught a gap!) into the Friday morning traffic. Narrow streets and lots of vans and big lorrys. Made the airport in plenty of time. Security makes a meal of things here - everybody checks in their baggage but then has to take it to a security table where all bags are basically unpacked, everything felt and then 'repacked'. Not quite how I would re pack so looking forward to opening the case at the other end. No chillies to be worried about! A VERY basic terminal but luckily they took a c card for a water and a beer. I sold all my vatu earlier and only had about 300vt left. I can't imagine coming back soon and needing to keep some. Koh Samui is SO much nicer on every level. Having said that - I have very much enjoyed my short visit. My Telstra connection has disappeared so I will finish this post in SYD. The aircraft was 30 mins late leaving but I am closer to the front this time (6A)...... and, no Kerry - with two big boys in shorts next to me - a window seat is NOT best! This is a very ordinary airline experience - Jetstar without the service! (haha) It's a shame this is the only codeshare option for Qantas to Vanuatu.Read more
