Hello Dark Matter! Good to see you got back in one piece, didn't fly Qantas did you? lol.
No, but a worse airline: Jetstar
Here's what happened:
Stupid me didn't book the flight correctly. I asked to go to the Gold Coast.
When we arrived, I asked someone if I could get a taxi to our resort hotel. I was told it will cost around $400.00. "What???!!!", I said.
She told me we were 300k's away from that resort. She told us we should have booked to go to the Sunshine Coast, not the Gold Coast.
So we had to catch a taxi to the nearest railway station. Catch a train to take us to Brisbane Airport. Catch a shuttle bus from there to our resort hotel.
After three or so hours we finally got there.
Saturday morning I ring Jetstar to have our return flight transfered to the Sunshine Coast Airport, and was told it wasn't possible with the type of tickets I booked. Gritting my teeth, I had to book a new flight that set me back $474.00.
Jetstar have now been written off in my book.

Is it my imagination or has this thread slowed down? Maybe all busy getting their preps together!
It has slowed down a tad. Hopefully we'll get more response as we near the meeting deadline.

How are you feeling??? Good I hope. Did you get my get well card???
Take care Barb, you look after yourself.
