Time: 12.40 am
Dad and I have made it to departure lounge 11 and we are waiting for the boarding gate to open. We had a coffee with mum and Michael Sharon and marnie before disappearing through the to the departure area. Dad got stuck in security - his knees went off. He had to take off the shoes and belt before they finally did a manual scan on him. Walked for ages throuh to the departure lounge. We are now sitting and waiting for the gates to open.
