Borders open, no restrictions, plane flights available = yes, yes, yes. 12 months had elapsed between the fire season and COVID, and I really can’t put into words how relieved I was to actually get my feet on the ground. Even on the plane I wasn’t believing it until I escaped the airport \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We travelled down to Sydney the night before to stay with Les & Helen (Loryn’s parents) and we were lucky enough that they offered to drop us at the airport. We had lunch whilst awaiting our flight and couldn’t believe how quiet it was – there was hardly anyone there and most of the shops were closed. It certainly isn’t like the domestic terminal that I’m used to seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out flight down was fairly uneventful with Ellie travelling really well. We had already filled in our permit to be allowed into the state, so it was a quick temperature check and we were in. I will say that it leaves you bloody nervous travelling now, as there is no guarantee at any point that any of your plans will actually work out how you thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking of which, I was put to work fairly quickly \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The weather was quite interesting (read: wet, cold, snow) so it was decided to have a quiet day at home. Coupled with how busy we had been of late, we wanted to just relax. And I have to say that it was bloody enjoyable<\/p>\n\n\n\n
