Waiting as a small group

The Mister Men are on their way. Waiting at Sydney Airport. Kingsford-Smith Airport named after Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith. You can follow the link to his biography. He was born in 1897 and was a pioneer aviator of Australia. He went missing somewhere over Burma in the 1930's.

The Mister Men are sitting in front of an Airbus A380 owned by Singapore Airlines. Singapore Airlines is the flag carrier of Singapore they have a strong presence in South-East asia.



Mr Happy, Mr Tickle, Little Miss Daredevil, Little Miss Sunshine and Mr Slow are wanting to get on that plane. That has to be the worst part about flying, well one of the worst, the waiting. Once you are through check-in, bag drops and security checks (and avoiding all those glitzy and glamorous shops) there is the waiting. An overseas trip you don't want to be late for.

You do hear over the loud speakers while you wait ' Calling Mr Owens....Calling Mrs Zui..... Your flight is boarding. This is your last call please make your way to Gate 107'. Ten minutes later there is a more desperate call for the missing passengers. Then there is the electric cart zooming about with those that are very late, disabled or elderly. And finally if they don't come, where are they? Are they asleep, was this a layover and they are near comatosed stretched out on those ever so comfy chairs? The dreaded call 'We are taking your luggage off the plane now'.

Some thing tells me we may never know what becomes of these missing people.

The Mister Men look very excited about their immediate future.

All Packed, almost

The Mister Men are all packed away in the photo, bar two, Mr Happy and Little Miss DareDevil. Maybe they couldn't sleep, too much excitement.

The Mister Men prefer Antler Luggage for safe and secure packing on this trip. Being their first major trip things were planned out to the last tee. Most of this trip was planned through Flight Centre and Tempo Holidays. The details of which will be unveiled through this blog.

Alarms were set. Yes thats right plural, alarms were set. No one wants to miss a flight because of over sleeping.

Even in the wee hours of the morning Mr. Happy could not wipe the smile off his face. He is just way too happy for the tiny hour. Maybe that is why he is awaiting transfer to the airport on the outside of the luggage, no one else can stand such a happy person so early in the morning.
