Travelling day

We’ve had a long day of travel to start our trip.
Up early to drive to Brisbane, stopping at Gympie, to see Courtney, Keiran and the kids, then on to Brisbane to visit Mum and have tea cake and a glass of wine with Marl, Lan and Joc.
About seven we headed out to the airport.
We’ve been a bit nervous about this flight, we’re just doing carry on and the weight limit is 7 kgs. It’s taking a fair bit of organisation and juggling to get it down to that. By all accounts Vietjet is quite strict about the weight limit and will weigh every bag when you check in. Well they couldn’t have cared less.
This really is a budget airline, there are absolutely no frills, unless you pay for them. We lucked out and had a vacant seat between us, so that has made it a much more comfortable flight thank goodness because the seats really are pretty tight.
8 1/2 hours doesn’t sound that much when you’re planning to fly, but boy it can really drag when you’re trying to get some sleep and nowhere is comfortable.Read more
