The flights are booked and the kids are excited, and it looks like we're off to Queensland at the end of January. All paid too so there's no turning back. We'll fly out on Australia Day, and return home on February 3rd, a Saturday, so we can get back to normal on Sunday for school and work on Monday. The kids will miss the first three days at school, but that shouldn't create too many problems. This way, I'm hoping the lines won't be so long at the theme parks (they're sure to want to go) and the airfares were cheaper. You wouldn't think a week would make that much difference but when it comes to money, any saving is a good thing. By the time January comes around, my credit card should be paid off too, so I might even have some spending money.
We'll drive to Sydney and leave the car at the airport, and Carly is excited that we may have time to do some sight-seeing there before we need to be at the airport around 5. What with the time-difference, it looks like the flight takes only 20 minutes, but we'll actually be in the air for an hour and a half.
The return flight gets us back in to Sydney around lunch-time, so we should get back home around 6pm. That's without stops of course, so it might be more like 7pm. It's 4 months away but I'm already thinking about what to pack. I must be just as excited as the kids.
