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!!
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!
