First real family holiday ever - the journey

Well I have to keep my phone in aeroplane mode because we are 39048ft in the air doing 431mph (almost 700kmph) I've got the music pumping and yet the kid continues yapping away. Well I guess that means no music for me. Someone's food smells pretty bad, it has made me sneeze twice already.
Well we're over half way and I've cracked a can of beam and coke. I normally wouldn't drink until night time except I am bored as hell. I don't deal well sitting in the same spot doing nothing for any period of time.

I don't know whether it's the half can of bourbon talking (hey I'm a light-weight at normal altitude) but I'm reasonably happy with the day so far. Things were going pretty well this morning we got everything packed and the last few chores done even got everyone showered including me having a quick go with the plunger and clearing the shower drain.
I had our whole journey planned out and things were going great until the bus left while we were standing at the lights. He was 3 minutes early. We must mark this day in history because Brisbane buses are ALWAYS late. So we missed our connecting train and the following train. We decided the nest option would be to find a taxi instead of waiting for the airtrain and get this, was $5 cheaper. Yeah put that in your pipe and smoke it air train people.

Then when we went to check in one of the reservation chicks spotted 2 unattended bags. I totally expected to hear the evacuation siren go off but someone came to claim it. Thank god!!!

My throat is still dry and sore from the epic dust storm yesterday. I know I probably shouldn't have gone out in it. I only went out for 5 minutes at a time if that and only a few times but to be really honest it was totally worth it. I'd be kicking myself if I had missed the experience and not gotten the photos I did.

I could totally murder a cigarette about now, I can go longer than this normally but it is the habit of having a smoke when you have a drink. Oh well we should be in Melbourne in about 20 so I guess we'll have bags within 30-40 mins.

I swear the are gradually changing the air con lower and lower, probably to prepare us for Melbourne's cold weather. According to the forecast it is meant to rain all week. Wow it is just pure white cloudsout the window now. Brisbane didn't have a cloud in the sky. NSW had scattered clouds.

I'm hungry now. It sucks sometimes being such a tight arse. But it already cost me $18 for three drinks, I wasn't about to line someone elses pockets any more. However now I have said that I am seriously contemplating hitting McChucks when we land for a cheeseburger. I need the toilet again. I am such a girl, these guys haven't moved once yet I pee'd at home, at the airport and already once on the plane now I need to go again. Scary considering this is only a 2 hour flight.
We're now doing 441mph altitude 38508ft. I probably should go toilet before they put the seat belt sign on again.

Geez bloody copy cats. I go toilet now everyone wants to go. Well that's cool means I can lay on their seats. I move for no one.

Hey there's still 15-20 before we land no fair. We're about to start descent, we're doing 455mph and at 34175ft. I'm going to have to sit up soon too. Luckily for me the guys got stuck in a queue. Ok ears popping. Bai bai.
