To Auckland we go

After packing the last minute items into our bag yesterday afternoon, we went out for dinner to the Highfields Tavern with Kenzie and Dennielle, Tommy was still sick so he and Brydie stayed home.

We settled in for a great night’s sleep before getting up at 3.45am to get ready and leave by 5.00am. Kenzie drove us down to the airport and except for lots of traffic on the Ipswich Motorway and then a little on the Centenary Highway it was pretty smooth sailing arriving at 7.00am. When we checked in online the night before it said we needed to be there 4 hours before departure which we were however baggage drop didn’t open until 8.10am so we had an hour to wait.

We had something to eat as we didn’t have breakfast before we left. Can’t believe how much airports charge for food. I got a small apple juice, small fruit salad, an apple and cinnamon muffin and a bottle of water for Dave and it cost $33.00.

Once baggage opened, we dropped our bags off, got the obligatory departure photo before moving through security to our gate. My goodness, Brisbane airport needs a major overhaul especially security as it just can’t handle the amount of travellers it has going through.

Once through, we had about an hour and half wait and it was boarding time, destination Auckland.もっと詳しく
