Honeymoon: Sydney (30 September - 7 October)

Even before we reached our honeymoon destination, we already have a few memorable encounters for this trip! It was a late night flight and we reached the airport quite late as both us were busy at work!

We were multi-tasking when we were queuing up, like doing last minute packing, having our McDonald dinner and separating out checked in and hand carry baggages.

On top of being one of the last to check in at the counter, we actually have problem with Liang's VISA as the agency did not change his passport number due to renewal on the VISA slip and hence cannot be considered as valid! So we had another delay since he needs to head to the customer service counter and apply for a new VISA.

So, we became the last couple to check at the counter!

When we are relived that his VISA has been re-issued successfully and ready for check in, we were being told that there are no more seats that are together.

We were given a totally different boarding pass and have to sit seperately.

There's no chance for upgrade or anything else as the flight was deemed to be full. It's going to be the longest flight that we have ever took, it's 'the' honeymoon and it's weird to be sitting at different cabins where 'so far yet so near' phrase is too adapt for this scenario!

We requested for help at boarding and upon boarding but no one could help. Luckily, after the plane took off, the air stewardess who took note of our request managed to get us a seat together!

After all the obstacles, we finally reached Sydney!!!

Took awhile to find this 'Meeting Point'

Waiting for our hotel transfer

Hotel didn't disappoint me despite the 'forced' upgrade when the other hotel was not available. I'm glad to have made this change and had my 'heritage home' for the week.
