We are coming home

We finally got away just after 1am. We were delayed because a number of connecting flights were running late. As there was quite a bit of snow and ice, the plane had to go through a de-icing process before we could take off. When we were finally up and away, they wanted to feed us a meal. I chose the two cold dishes of an egg salad and a plate of fresh fruit. They absolutely hit the spot and were delicious and light. Ian had a pasta dish that he also enjoyed and I think he weakened and had the chocolate dessert with a berry compote.

It was then time to get into my PJs and hit the hay. I find the beds on Finnair very comfortable, so I slept for about 9 hours. Ian even got a half decent sleep of about 5 to 6 hours, which is saying something. When I got up we had less than 3 hours until we arrived in Singapore. I passed the time watching some shows, then we were served breakfast. I had waffles and Ian had oven roasted salmon and, before too long, we were making our final approach into Singapore. I love watching the landings and take offs on the video screen.

We landed and found our way to the Qantas Lounge, where we had a few hours (about 4 ) to kill before our final leg. The last flight was very smooth and we arrived ahead of schedule. We were back home just after 11am. We have had a wonderful holiday but it is nice to be home.Read more
