It has really started

It has really started!

Flight QF09 took off on time, 7.15pm on the dot. Surprisingly there were no nerves. Sleep was intermittent but I expected that.  The flight was extremely smooth, Qantas meals were good but nothing near as good as Emirates. Qantas foods had seeds, capsicum and onion in everything – none of which agree with me. So Catherine and I did a trade off – I took her chocolates and she took the salads etc. that I didn’t want. I have just scored two Crunchies! An hour away from landing in Dubai saw a lot of movement among the passengers, including lots of babies and toddlers exercising their lungs. Glad I only had my big daughter with me! The lay over in Dubai whilst waiting to connect to the Parisian leg was brightened by a group of fellow Aussies we met who were travelling on the same flight as us and a young Frenchman who had spent considerable time in Sydney. We were really pleased to find out that what we thought was going to be a 9 hour flight from Dubai to Paris, turned out to be only 7 hours.
