The Airport
Slidkalniņš: 2
My Mum and I had plans to travel together to Buderim during the school holidays to visit my Cousin and Grandmother who was turning 89. We originally had an early connecting flight to Melbourne at 7:15am so we could get onto the following trip to the Sunshine Coast at 9:45am. We had to wake up at around 5 in the morning. Both of us struggled getting up because of how exhausted we felt, probably due to the lack of sleep we got. It was insanely tiring but we eventually got to the airport at 6am, saying goodbye to my Dad and immediately lining up in check-in and security. Thankfully the lines were short and we were able to relax at our gate until we heard the deafening announcement that our flight to Melbourne was delayed until 10:30am because of the illness of our pilot. My Mum and I were visibly upset, hysterical even. It goes without saying that it was miserable. We ended up being rebooked on a flight to Queansland the following morning at 6:40am. That meant we had to stay at a hotel called Ibis Styles in Melbourne. At the airport we spent most of our time sitting in a café.
