DAY 1
Saturday 21st June 9pm Melbourne
We are sitting in the departure lounge at Melbourne airport waiting to board our flight to London at 9:50pm. The plane is due to leave at 10:55pm. We have checked our bags in, gone through customs, and then through the metal scanners. It is quiet here with only a few other travelers about. I should be feeling excited but I’m not. The long flight ahead of us is quite daunting. We have a brief stopover in Hong Kong. It is 9 hours to Hong Kong then 14 hours to London. I need to pace myself and try to reset my body clock. London is 9 hours behind us and they are on Summer Daylight Savings Time. Today is the Winter Solstice here and it has been a cool and rainy day. It doesn’t appear to be raining outside now and I can see our huge Qantas Jumbo jet parked outside the window.
