Flights

I must wrap up the conclusion of the journey. The final leg of the trip. With our apprehension towards the flight with Thai Airways it was particularly exciting to find that they have improved by a mile/kilometre since Aly's horrid flight with them. They had an applaudable in flight entertainment system with which I dabbled amongst the old Nintendo games with a childish grin, the service was very asian; that is efficient and effective without the fuss, good one, the blankets they offered were the biggest I have ever recieved on a flight, but best of all we finally had the window seats, and better than this there was noone occupying the aisle seat so we could stretch out as much as we liked. I actually had a number of coffees because I wanted to stay awake the whole time and play and watch and drink wine.
On arrival in Australia Aly was particularly startled that everyone was speaking the same lingo, believed them to be copying her I think she did. We had a very frustrating time trying to get a taxi to the Formula 1 hotel as it's very close to the airport and taxi drivers are slightly retarded in their thinking, it could only work out well for them to take us considering we pay their extra 2.50 to get into the airport anyway. All this coupled with Aly's previous vendetta with the taxi folk were making for quite an emotional time for the poor girl, she didn't quite manage to smash the rear window on one wagon but she gave it a good slap.
Eventually we got to our accomodation for the night, and proceded to sleep.
I will conclude with my journey back up to Brisbane, I managed to get lucky with the seat again. I was situated at the wing exit so my legroom was slightly greater and I had the window:) It was quite funny though when they came around at the beginning of the flight and told us how we should respond in an emergency ie. not opening the emergency door if their is a fire outside and not until we're completely stopped. Felt like I was in on a dirty secret. Didn't have to pull the hatch however and have returned home safely. Of course for my own future reference I already know this.
