Thanks again.

Thanks guys - ya been hearing good things about the Ergobaby. I'll investigate further.

Thanks, we are looking into the hotel idea alight.

Hey guys, Myself and my partner are heading from Brisbane back to Ireland in 3 weeks time. We have a stroller and capsule system for him (A Steelcraft Agile) As far as I'm aware do we have to check these in for the journey and rely on airport prams to get by? It doesn't seem that we can take the stroller / capsule up to the gate and then get it checked in like you can on many domestic flights. As we have a 7 hour stop over in Singapore, we really would like our own stroller / capsule without having to to get one at Brisbane when we check our own one in, one at Singapore and one at London while we wait (all the while having to carry baby around while we get access to an airport provided one) Has anyone encountered this situation before? Thanks in advance

Thanks. What kind of delays / troubles might I bump into without an Aussie passport?

I'm a PR but have my Citizenship test next week. Thanks for the replies guys. He's doing ok, I just wanted to find out what the general process people have gone through in the past. It's obviously quite a common occurrence for all of us ex pats living away from our original countries.

Hey guys, The thread title may initially seem a bit premature but I'm just wondering if any of you have needed to rush back to the UK / Ireland due to a death in the family? The reason being is that I rang my Dad in Ireland last night and it turns out he's in hospital - he had issues with his heart and was admitted to hospital. Not a heart attack just a really irregular heartbeat. It's looking like he will be fine. I guess stuff like this always played on my mind that eventually, and inevitably, we all end up dying (as morbid as that sounds) and it's going to be the case that one day I will indeed get the dreaded phonecall that Dad has passed away. I know the flight back to Ireland at best is around 28 - 30 hours when booked. Has anyone ever had to try and orgsnise a flight back home quickly - was it easy / hard to get a flight on such short notice? Cheers
