HOWEVER, the best drama of all happened at the check-in desk at Heathrow when Little Jen's optimism of her bag being 'fine' was abruptly dashed by the robot at the Qantas desk - 24kg is the max allowed - Jen's weighed 29kg, mine 22kg.. we got told it would cost us £30 PER KILO we were overweight!!! None of this, we're first in the queue, they'll just put it through, oh no - cue mad opening of MY bag (Jen's had already shot off on the conveyor belt) to get 3kg of weight out and into our already jam-packed hand luggage - you should've heard the tuts from the idiots in the queue behind us...
So, ended up going through passport control with my walking boots around my neck, my wash bag under my arm and the bag of tech leads hanging out of Jen's bag as she guffawed her way through...
Think we may have problems at Cairns...

You're in good company - Al cost me £120 coming back from Portugal with Sophie once !!!
Thanks for the loan of the flat - muchly appreciated. We hopefully left it in a suitably clean and tidy fashion (did feel a bit guilty stripping the beds and stuff and just leaving them, well Al did !!) so thank you !!!
Calvin is obviously part elephant and remembered Sophie - she was very good with him and pretty much left him alone but she walked past him whilst he was sat on the bed and he jumped over and clawed her !!! Most unprovoked and mean but he looked rather self-satisfied afterwards :D
Sounds like the trip is off to a good start anyway - hope you figured out what the D's are for on the auto and didn't go on the motorway in D1 ?!?
