Thanks Jetstar! We arrived safe and sound on Tuesday evening at Coolangatta Airport. Bob was there to pick us up but thankfully not to witness Josh's oscar winning performance titled "Angry Child" over by the x-ray machines. His show involved trying to climb inside the x-ray machine only to get a telling off from a customs officer. This did not go down well with our Josh who is a firm believer in equal rights for kids. He proceeded to tell me off at the top of his lungs. While Bob might of missed his Grandson in action 80% of our fellow Jetstar passengers did not and I can tell you there was no applause as I dragged him out kicking and screaming into Arrivals. As for Danny, he was relatively tame by comparison though why he felt the need to announce that his Dad had a willy as we came into land is beyond me. Anyway plane trips aside (god knows how we are going to do 11 and a half hours to Chile) we are here and the boys actually stayed in bed until 6.00am this morning. Fantastic after three days of horrifically early starts while their wee body clocks adjust. Pam and Bob's house is wonderfully kid friendly as well as comfortable. Everything we could possibly need is here right down to cartons of juice in the boot of the car for when we are out adventuring. The boys are loving the cat, Daisy too and she provides hours of home entertainment for them. As for BBQ's on the beach and running around in the sunshine well they think that is pretty good too!
