The Departure

Well the blog posts are a bit delayed but we ran into some troubles and i wasn’t able to post until now. Lets start at the begining, yeah? In Sydney after getting off the plane and navigating the airport we got to the United Airlines check-in. We didn’t have a pen so i went to find a news agent, while i was at it i bought some aus->us power converters and locks for the bags, duty free, no probs ill just get it when i am boarding right? Upon my casual return me and renz0r start filling in our papers which are needed to check in. We take them to the front desk to be unpleasantly suprised, we were apparently late to check in and the cut off time is one hour prior to take off! The staff made some phone calls and it didnt look good, finally they said ok we will rush you on, you will have to run to gate 56. Then as we are about to checking out luggage we got randomly selected for a bag inspection! We moved at full pace, i nearly slammed my suitcase onto the desk and the security guard checked it. We both ran to gate 56, past the duty free people who had my purchases ready for me because we thought we would miss the plane. We got there and found that it hadnt boarded yet and we could have easily taken our duty free items. Either way we were happy to be on the plane and thats partially the reason i haven’t posted since leaving.
Coming up, stories of our arrival
