Awake at 3.40 this morning and that was the end of sleeping. Lay there for quite a while then decided to get up. It was going to be a long day. Sandy got up about 6.30 and the day started in earnest. We went out to see his Mum and said good bye to her. We would see her in just over 3 weeks. Came on home and just waited until it was time to pack. Did this about 2pm. What a waste of a day. Spoke to John & Marilyn and hoped they have a great cruise. Wally and Helen arrived in the limousine about 5.15. Sue and Kevin saw us off. We travelled to Sydney Airport in style. We even had champagne on the way. It was going to be a lovely night. We met most of the group at 7pm and our Tour Leader was Ann. She helped us to check in and then we wandered around to have some tea before it was time to board. Wally had the ‘last’ shout in Sydney. We had 2 beers and 2 white wines and it cost him $42. What a hike!!! After these we went around to our gate No: 33 and waited to board. We had to board at 9.50 for take off at 10. It is 8 hours 45 minutes to Taiwan. It was going to be a long flight. Finally boarded and it was a very smooth flight. It is 7508km from Sydney to Taiwan. Still couldn’t sleep on the plane. Taiwan is 2 hours behind Australia.
