Off to Oz

Finally the day arrived for us to leave on our trip to Australia. I (Alison) didn't sleep too well the night before, but never do before big trips. Everyone else slept fairly well. We departed home at 8:30am for the 3hr drive down to Hamburg from where we would catch our flight. Joshua slept most of the way, so it was a smooth trip.

At Hamburg our flight was delayed by 1hr due to a backlog of traffic in the Polish Air space as a result of bad weather conditions. This meant that my plan of spacing Joshua's feed so that he would be feeding on take off was totally thrown out. I ended up giving him a bit extra from the bottle on takeoff. The first leg from Hamburg to Dubai, he was a little unsettled & only slept for 10-15min at a time. However from Dubai to Singapore, he slept the whole way & then again from Singapore to Brisbane he slept most of the way again, only being unsettled the last couple of hours.
