We don't catch the plane until 1:30pm this afternoon and we are only 35 km from the airport. We decide against doing any sightseeing before catching the plane as it will be way too rushed, so we just enjoy the space of our lovely "home away from home", check emails, do a bit of the blog etc. We arrive at the airport by 12 keeping in mind we have to return the car. Not exactly "happiness" to see our friendly car hire man who we picked the car up from originally, who was going to send us off in the rain with a ute, but we happily took our refund, happily gave them back the keys, smiled nicely, as we were totally over it!!!! and vowed never to hire a car again.......well, as least not in the near future anyway!!!!

| What bored kids do at the airport!! |
Our plane was delayed half an hour which made for very bored kids, however, we survived the waiting....just, then hopped on our Qantaslink flight, courtesy of Jetstar, which had no entertainment whatsoever, not even a place to plug in head phones, and, to the children's disgust, no in-flight service!!! You had to
buy everything off the menu, which we weren't about to do. Thank goodness it was only an hour flight!!!
We catch a taxi to pick up the caravan which is ready and waiting for us with a brand new awning. We are so excited about this, as it has been so long since it was broken. The repairers were very cooperative and helpful which made our life so much easier.
We then managed to get to the outskirts of Melbourne, just before 5pm to pick up our second lot of mail that Marie had sent over. Bills, bill and more bills, but also a Farm Weekly which Glen was very happy about. We then headed to South Werribee where we found a caravan park for the night. We are all very glad to be back in our van and be able to get into our normal routine again, I think Tori was even secretly happy!!
