Enjoy Oz Courtenay. Forget the housework, it’ll still be there when you get back.

Re: What Are You Doing Now?
Thanks for your good wishes, everyone! Just at Heathrow now with a bit of time before boarding.
I'll wave to you if we do! But I'm going via Abu Dhabi, so I'm not sure if we'll go over India. More likely the Indian Ocean. (I will check the map while we're in flight.)Darrell71 wrote:Who knows, you might fly over India.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Enjoy your holiday, Courtenay. And, instead of thinking about housework watch this instead:

Re: What Are You Doing Now?
If you're heading to the eastern side of Australia, you'll fly right through India. (Probably very near my city too coz we're on the west coast) If it's more on the Western Australia side, then yes, you'll miss India completely.

Also, the Abu Dhabi airport is the reason for all my sadness in life lol. No jk but I hate it.
