The fun of flying home into the snow with lost baggage and cancelled flights from Heathrow. It’s a 4 bus ride and a 2 hour train ride home again.

Back in Melbourne
Nov 23rd, 2009
Flying back to Melbourne, this time with the excellent Qantas service and the pleasure of being back in Melbourne, its trams, trains and sort-of-all-new Southern Cross Station. Little changes except that most of the building work that was here before is now complete.

I’ve barely slept all night. The excitement of returning to the USA is a little too much. Somewhere around 4.30am a text message arrives. It’s from BA. My flight from Manchester to Heathrow has been cancelled. I try ringing the number given for BA customer services but they don’t open till 6am.

Having flown into Melbourne before and seen some of this country from the air.
