Day to Remember and Forget... Day 5

The apology from Qantas about travel

     We had a great wake-up call around 3AM, and then we left around 4AM for the airport. Our flight out to Brisbane was originally at 6AM. So we waited awhile, until we got the dreaded news. All Qantas flights cancelled due to ash cloud. Bummer I know, but we tried to stay calm and relaxed. We were able to sit down and rest or we sang and danced. It was out of our hands.

 Our tour director Adam, he was amazing he talked and talked to people,searching for flights to get us to Brisbane, all 36 of us. He did it though, he gets all the credit and we owed him so much that day!

Someone caught me sleeping

Had lunch in airport, sat and talked and got to know eachother a little more.

We checked in our bags 3:15PM, Gloria and I got a quick massage from some chairs. Went and looked at some shops and bought a few souviners. Our flight didnt leave till 5:15PM. We didnt care much about the time just that we had a flight that day. Thank you Adam, you rock!

4 hour flight from Auckland to Brisbane, Australia. We arrived at airport around 9:10ish, got bags on coach and then headed upstairs to wait for other teams to get in. We all got back together around 12:30 so you could guess we were a little tired...  Headed to hotel to pass out on comfy beds...
