    Leaving Canberra

    September 14, 2018 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    At the airport (thanks Dianne) bags checked through to Sydney. Bag weights: 13 & 14 kilos.
    MDW (My Darling Wife) has the passports, for some reason they are no longer my responsibility.
    Get through the scanners and MDW gets a personal scan because she won’t take her bangles off, I get selected for an explosives detection, nothing to worry about except I’m carrying our sons old Barminco Mine backpack where he worked as a Charge-up (explosives operator). Nothing to worry about, we both get the all clear.
    First stuff up.... we get to Sydney about 2pm and our flight to Europe isn’t until 10pm.
    What was I thinking?
    Looks like a trip into the City to fill in a few hours. Hope I have all the other flight times better coordinated!
    Second stuff up, St George are playing South Sydney and we will be mid flight between Taiwan and the UK!
