The Flight over

After a long night of no sleep due to the fact I was so excited about travelling, I got to the airport just after 5:00am, ready for my flight to Kuala Lumpur.
I am around about 6 hours into my journey and so far it’s gone without a hitch.
It was amazing of my family to drive 5 hours from Red Cliffs, Victoria just to see me off at the airport, I really appreciate the love and support they have shown me over the last few weeks. I can’t say mum is too thrilled about losing her son for such a long time. I hope she trusts that I will be safe while ill be away.
I was a little worried this morning about my flight in Adelaide being delayed because if it had have been, I would most certainly have missed my Air Asia flight from Melbourne. My main concern of course being the weather, the past few days have been some of the most miserable that I have seen, cold, wet windy and we’ve even had a little bit of hail. But fortunately, on take off this morning, the weather was cloudy (which made for a very bumpy ride) but good enough to get off on time.
While in the air, there was an announcement that we could have to wait a few extra minutes before we were able to land due to congestion at the Melbourne Airport. Started to worry then that check-in for my next flight would close and I would be stuck in Melbourne.
Once we had landed in Melbourne, I was in a mad rush to get off of the plane, down to the baggage claim and over to the next terminal.
I was surprised at how quickly I was able to find my way between the domestic arrivals terminal and the international departure terminal. I reached the counter, checked in my bag and after that was smooth sailing.
Jumped onto the plane, a monstrous Air-Bus and after another slight delay, took off.
Safe to say, I was very worried about missing my flight, I’ll know for next time I will leave a little more time between my connecting flights to allow for a little bit of a delay.
I wish we would hurry up a little but and get to Kuala Lumpur, I don’t know how many more times I can read the in-flight magazine. Ill know to pack a book for my next long flight, which will be on the first of August from Kuala Lumpur to London.
Hopefully Jarrad, my travel partner finds, his was over safely, he is flying another Airline via Perth, and the plan is for us to meet at our Hostel as we have no other means of communication other than Facebook until we get our phones sorted out.
