I tried to find a photo that showed the vast expanse of land that we travelled over to get to here.
It started as a normal day, get up have breakfast, get packed, celebrate Lulus birthday, go pick up hire car, say our goodbyes to family, drive to Brisbane, get some lunch....go through security......lol
first problem. We are heading through security, now remember we have a lot of stuff packed into 3 suitcases, a camera bag, two laptops, a handbag, the girls each with a backpack......a lot of crap basically and trying to get through to get everything checked in (as Qantas in their wisdom have gotten rid of customer service and everything is self serve now)......so we are going through security after asking the girls 3 times probably more, do you have anything in your bags, like water, scissors.....I am like they are kids what would they have in their bags......WELL through the xray and Lucia gets pulled over..... conversation.
Lulu do you have anything in your bag????
No Mama, just toys....
Security Guard " Maam do you have scissors in your bag?? to Lucia like she is an adult??? I need to check your bag.
meantime Ant and I are looking at each other going WTH?? Lucia again do you have anything in your bag.....at this point she is getting quite upset and scared. No Mum.
So the security Guard pulls out scissors, not just 1 pair of scissors but 3 pairs of scissors.....what the???
Our little bower bird Lucia!!
Me to Lucia "Lucia why do you have scissors in your bag???
Lucia "I thought I might need them Mum!!" Ant and I just shook our heads and laughed and cuddled her crazy kid. That was the start to our little jaunt.
So we are flying over hundreds of acres of land with NOTHING......I mean literally nothing.......there were some mountains and then just land with not a house in sight. Ant and I looked at each other and said to each other "what the heck have we done".....
The beginning of our adventure. Back soon.
Love Me xxxx
