I’m a planner...it’s what I do. As a planner, however, you must remember 2 things...first of all, you can only plan what you have control over, and secondly, never be so committed that you miss opportunities that may be better than your original plan. Well, I planned very well for our trip to Australia, everything right down to the flights. I pre-booked our seats to capitalize on the most legroom, quickest meal service, and fastest exit from the plane upon arrival. What I couldn’t plan on was a couple with 2 babies who needed a bassinet. And where do you think the bassinet went?? Right in front of my seat, on the bulkhead. Now, in the past when you were sitting in the seat that someone else needed to be in, you got the benefit of an upgrade to business class. But what happens when business class is full? You get to stay in your seat with a bassinet in your face. I guess that is just typical when you travel with the most unluckiest traveler there ever was...the only person who ever got downgraded on a car rental...yup, that’s what I’ve come to expect when traveling with Kier. After 2 delays and one mechanical problem, we finally arrived in Sydney... 2.5 hours late. I had planned on us traveling by train into the city as the station is feet from our hotel, but after consulting with a local, they recommended we use a shuttle service...so off we went, on the shuttle. The Travelodge Wynyard was fine, quite large in fact, and an excellent location, although a tad noisy in the wee hours of the morning....we would know that because we’re both awake every morning from 3:30 - 5:30 before we fall back asleep again.
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY: Jet lag sucks!!!
