what a way to begin...

Well i finally made it to Sydney.Let me tell you how it all began....
It started with me and my mam and dad walking through dublin airport lookin for the aerlingus terminal(which is below the basement) and spottin brian from East17(i know...how lucky am i?) thinkin it better NOT to ask him for a photo we checked my (very big and heavy)bag in.So at departures it was time to say good bye to my family.There were a few tears(mostly from me and mam) but i just kept telling myself this was all part of the adventure that I'd see everyone again soon.So i got to my gate and who did i spot only Brian Harvey AGAIN!!! i said it to the guy standing beside me in the queue and he looked at me like i was a lula.The flight to itself Frankfurt was uneventful.But we had a 5 hour wait til the next flight,thats where i met Darragh and Jinxy from cavan who i'd be introduced to in the imperal on sat night.I also met a girl called Ashling from Monaghan who turns out had the seat next to me on the flight.Our flight was eventually called and we went throught the metal dectators and i beeped and got a very full on search.So we boarded the plane and were giving our free eyemasks socks and toothbrush...then around half hour later they arrived with a bag full of crap dried fruit,party mix and water...then an hour later the plane was getting really hot and the air conditioning wasnt working,so we were asked to leave the plane because the engines would have to be turned off to do a trouble shoot which would turn the air con off.so by this time some people had already takin their sleepin tablets,and by the time i got off the plane there were people K.O'd all over the floor of the terminal.I got bored and went for a walk.I exited through the security people and found these glass rooms where a load of people were smokin and havin a laugh so i popped my head in and saw darragh and jinxy....then someone suggested we all go down to the duty free and get some cans...best idea EVER!!!!so i got a mini bottle of wine and went through security AGAIN to get ashling and another girl.so we all sat around drinkin and singing and playing games(the name game...without the hard rules).as time went by the group got bigger...and drunker...i ended up flyin down the empty terminal in a trolley being pushed my some guy.Then we were stopped by an airport worked on a bicycle telling us not to drink and driving.Ashling convinced him to give her a shot of his bike...he was a bit reluctant because you need a special licence to ride it....the man on the bike finally told us they had some food for us...bananas...and oh yeah your flight is cancelled...more cans...back through security to get my bag of the plane...back out for more drink..then we all had to go through security one last time to find out we were going to a hotel...i got brought into a special room and my laptop and book swabbed for explosives and drugs!no joke!!!...To the hotel and its really nice.got our rooms and headed for the bar..this would have been around 7 am...the hotel ran out of normal rooms and started giving out suites.Some of the boys got them so we went up and found they had a mini bar which we were told to help ourselves...then we went to the pool and nearly got kicked out for makin noise...at this stage noone had clean clothes and were really starin to stink.back to my room and i found my mini bar..so did Ash so the party continued in her room till aout 8:30...i finally went to bed and woke up at 12 for our free lunch.then we all met in the beer garden and with the pints being 8euro everyone went to the garage for drink...it was a lovely sunny day.might have like it more if i wasnt wearing black jeans!so then we got free dinner and only then did some of the lads resurface.After dinner the hotel gave us a free bar haha!and it was time to chek out.handing in our card we were asked if we'd taking anything from the mini bar...Pffft eeehh 'No'...so far we've all gotten away with that one...in the airport we queued for 2 hours to check in with NO bags!!! got on the plane to Singapore(we didnt know we were going there til check in).Got of the plane and couldnt fit me feet back in my runners so there was this chair that massaged your legs i sat in for around half hour waiting on the flight.The flight to Sydney was grand until we were diverted to Melbourne because of fog in Sydney....3 hours waiting on the plane.Landed in Sydney on thursday at 3pm!Got a taxi to the place and met my new family for the next two weeks.They're lovely.
