3rd Oct 13 leaving Sydney

Today we got up early for 7:30am take off to the airport. Breakfast was swiftly consumed by all, and not really enjoyed. 

Travel to airport went smoothly due to "Bessy" the GPS and Melissa the star navigator. Sydney airport though large is well organised and relatively easy to navigate. Our Avis car rental went well, no issues. We took photos in case any nasty extra charges turn up. 

It was interesting as we were waiting for a wheelchair for my father we were idle by an ATM and after a few minutes two police officers appeared and watch us as we were waiting for the wheelchair. When the wheelchair arrived we began dismantling the motorised scooter that my father had been using the police officers began intently watching us as I was told by the rest of the family, if I had known I would of asked them to help us. Oh well... 

Poor Jacqueline was singled out by security for looking nervous. Her reward was an additional scan by the delightful and helpful security folks.  We got to keep her :-)

Like most Australian Airports the food court charges massive charges for very ordinary foodstuffs. A bottle of 375 ml of juice cost $4.95 each. Crazy,,, Pirates,! 



Our flight home went well. The Skytrans staff are fantastic in their service. Highly recommended as a airline.
