Family news.

Just received an e-mail from my Father in Law to say that Joan (M i L) and Kat have arrived in Perth and been collected at the airport by my Sister -in- law. So I can stop worrying about them now!!

Glad they've arrived safely.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Me too!

Good to know they arrived safely.

But didn't you read the fine print in the mommy contract? You never get to stop worrying about them. :D

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

You never get to stop worrying about them.

I know - but I can reduce to normal alert level, or even slightly below it, as she is now her Grandmother's responsibility for a while!!

But I find the whole idea of 12 hour flights scare-making, so was on a high alert level whilst they were somewhere in the stratosphere!

Huzzah! But do we ever stop worrying about our offspring? ;)

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

My alert level, like London's, is now reduced - due to me not really believing in powered flight I worry about air travel!!

Yay! I remember last time my kids flew without me.

It's silly really- I know quite a lot of people who have made the same journey - and I know hundreds of planes fly across the world each day - but I only really believed that they would get there safely when I checked on the arrivals board of Perth airport (isn't the internet amazing?) and saw that their flight had landed! Then F i L e-mailed of course.

Heh, you're talking to a woman who logged on the American Airlines site and tracked the plane carrying her babies from liftoff to landing!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Ha! Glad I'm not the only one!

Very glad to hear. Hope they have a lovely time though, although I hope you don't miss your daughter too much ::hugs::

I'm sure she'll have a great trip - for the MiL it is the end of her holiday, she will be *home* tomorrow. The house is a bit quiet though!!

[desdemonaspace]

Yay! What a relief. (I was just thinking how I'd hate to have Patricia or Bebe fly anywhere, let alone halfway around the world.) What an adventure for J & K, but scary-making for you. Whew!

I'm so glad to see that I'm not the only one who feels like this about long-distance travel - it's a wonderful thing, perfectly normal - until it's MY daughter who is on the plane!

Joan is an extremely seasoned traveller - before they moved out to Australia they had lived all over Africa and the Middle East, as S2C's father was a civil engineer, mainly designing and overseeing the building of roads. (Yes - even they need designing and engineering!)

Funnily enough the only thing that impressed Kat when she was younger was that he did all the access system, walkway, etc, for Legoland at Windsor, one of the few projects he did in the UK!

Hooray! That's so good to hear.

I know - I was quietly relieved. I know that it is silly of me worrying - but it's a Mum thing I guess!!
