The Waiting Game...

Well, I would love to say we were in New Zealand, but no such luck. I am currently at at an internet kiosk at the Brisbane Airport. Those of you who are local, will know that there were dramas on the Gateway Bridge (closest access to the airport today) a truck ran into the toll booths and managed to explode and set fire to all the other toll booths. Access was closed in both directions accross the bridge and delays of up to 8 hours were expected. Needless to say, we paniced and left as soon as we found out (this was just before 3pm our flight was at 7:20) we had to change our plans and recruit boyfriends as drivers (thanks boys xox) and made it to the airport in almost record time (after driving around the wrong side of Brisbane).

Upon our arrival at the airport we discovered our flight had been delayed by two hours (it was going to be slow leaving Fiji) so we really didn't need to rush. So it's 7:20pm now and we have been here since 4pm. It appears our flight may be leaving earlier than thought (around 8:45) and may board in 55 minutes. Then we will be on our way. We should now get to Auckland around 2am their time. Suddenly the motel we booked doesn't seem as good an idea...

Hope to post again soon with happier tales
