My South African via Adelaide house guest left today. Matt has been a welcome distraction to the shoe box. But this morning was a little tougher than sharing the flat for 8 days. A trip to the airport sounds simple doesn't it.
Matt and I watched "The Island" last night and it finished around 11pm. You would think that this is not a late night but as Matt and I found we were want to do we stayed up talking till 1am at which point we were actually going to bed to get up round 5ish so we could be at what I thought was Tullamarine (will need to check spelling) by 6.10am.
When Matt said not Tulla we have to go to Avalon, I suggested he call and check but he said he was 100% sure. And due to the late hour and not thinking straight I didn't even question what airline which as it was Qantas I should automatically have been able to say only Jetstar leave from Avalon.
But I didn't, I did however go to the car (Thank you Hayley) grab the Melway and figure out we would need to leave earlier. By the time we were finished discussing this it was closer to 2am. I was up at 4.45am and we were on the road by 5.10ish getting to Avalon exactly by 6.10am only to have Matt say when he saw the sign for the Jetstar Terminal we needed to go to the Qantas!!! terminal.
Long story short after travelling as fast as legal we made it to tulla around 6.55am and as Matts plane was to leave at 7.10 he had missed it. The good news was Qantas were very helpful and got him on the 9.10am.
So in the end all is well that ends well.
