So, as I arrived at Auckland airport, I found it hard to shake my seat buddy. We worked out that I'm on a different flight from Auckland to Sydney from him, however, we are on the same flight from Sydney to Melbourne. Although, a bonus for me, we are not sitting next to each other!! I say goodbye to him, as he joins the queue to make a direct international transfer.

I was so excited about coming home today, that I actually found it hard to get to sleep last night. It was as if I was transported back to when I was a little girl, eagerly waiting for Santa to arrive down the chimney on Christmas Eve.

The answer is... You don't!! Just when I thought that I had managed to squeeze the last thing in my bag... I discovered my big mother arse jacket sitting on the bed!! What the hell...
