fifi69 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 All in all i think ive taken the upcoming move to Oz in my stride, but today ive started to feel the stress. Fly this Sunday 29th. When OH left for Oz 5 weeks ago we werent sure when myself and daughters would follow, it was depending on when we could rent the house. The day after he left someone viewed and said yes they wanted it, they had to be out of their place end of July so wanted it asap (last week they had a baby). Great we can all get going now. OH flew Emirates with their nice 30kg hold luggage and 10 hand luggage. Could i get a Emirates flight out for now, could i heck is like. Cathy Pacific the only viable option. Ok lets book that and have a few days in Hong Kong on the way. Finished work on 13th July. Ahh plenty time to do everthing. Last week i had my dad over from Ireland, this week my mum down from Scotland (4 times to Manchester airport, 3 more sleeps and back there again). Basically not got anything done, plus had OH's family suddenly decide they wanted to see and do stuff even though they have had weeks to do this. So ive tried to pack, Cathy give 20kg hold plus 7 hand. 7 black bags i took to the charity shop today and im still bloody over. Went on their website to see how much for excess only to find an alert saying due to typhoon vincente would anybody not traveling essentially from today till and including Sunday please cancel and rebook as basically all planes and staff are in the wrong place and it wont be until next week that they get back to normal. Is this just another you cant come to Oz unless you past the stress test. Anyways ive now reached deep into the fridge and found a lovely bottle of rose with my name on it, that will help. Tomorrow another day eh. I may hungover but i reckon i will be less stressed. (please pease tell me i will) :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi69 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Ahh. Forgot to mention the shoes. As if its all not going a bit Pete Tong. I bought some new extra comfortable (but still fashioable shoes) for Hong Kong cos i was planning on doing the 4 hour walking trip, comes highly recommened. Take up room and weight in the case so why just not wear them on the plane too, great idea. So i may aswell wear them today. Damned things broke, never made Manchester never mind Hong Kong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyviolet Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I fly in a week and feel your pain! Also trying to pack, now thinking of sending some stuff (ok, well quite a lot) with seven seas as excess! Can't wait to get on the plane and have to sit down and not be able do anything! You sound as if you've had an incredibly busy month but you're pretty much there. Hope the hangover isn't too bad and look forward to Hong Kong :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
