At 4am in the morning IS NOT FUN. Wheeeeee!!!!  No. Certainly not fun.

It’s a time that is neither here nor there. Do you sleep? Do you not sleep? With kids, what is the action plan? Honestly, when we finally got done with packing, it was midnight and I got perhaps an hour or two shut eye before I had to get up again to pack all the last minute shebang and get the home ready for departure – make sure the windows are triple locked with cling film and steel bars so not a single ‘cicak’ can enter.

And finally, wake the kids up. They were HAPPY!!! Even at 4am.

See?????

And then we spent a couple of hours hanging out at the airport, drugged ourselves with caffeine, poked toothpicks into our eyes, I mean, kept our eyes opened with toothpicks, set our phone alarms just in case we’d accidentally fall asleep on the concrete floors despite the noise from the 100 million crowd of crowd at LCCT, and bless us, the kids were still happy……..happy kids I have.

And finally, I never thought I’d hear them announce our departure. I was already beginning to zone out and become one of the pillars at LCCT. The fun walk to the Air Asia X plane to Perth. Thank GOD, it was not raining that morning.

T2 was dressed to be Air Asia X’s mascot. We were really praying she’d just BLEND into the seats and disappear for the entire flight. Do we ever get what we pray for? Sometimes, but definitely not THIS time. Because not only did she NOT blend into the seats, she was a crawling red gremlin all over the plane. Be careful what you wish for.

See? All red. They have Air Asia embossed on the seats and errr…..pen line drawings to add to the low budget decor. No, it was not my kids.

And this is how little space you get if you don’t fly business. These are short legs below. Imagine where long legs would go?? In knots, I’d imagine. Or maybe they have special holes that you can open up on the floor for your long legs to go through?

And after 5 long hours on the plane where I could not sleep at all because I had to carry T2 the ENTIRE FIVE HOURS BECAUSE AIR ASIA X COULD NOT ASSIGN ME A BASSINET AND BECAUSE OF THIS I AM NEVER FLYING AIR ASIA X WITH A BABY FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS BECAUSE 3 HOURS IS THE MAXIMUM TIME MY ARMS CAN HECK 7KG CONTINUOUSLY.

There. I feel better now.

Our first meal in Perth was a big Aussie fry up at 7am in the morning. It was definitely a heart stopper. Not good on your first day of holiday.

And T1 was ever alert entertaining the men. As usual. She asked them, “What do you get when you cross a banana and feet?” Oh, I can’t remember what she asked them but whatever it was, it got them thinking – 3 men above the age of 34. My daughter, she’d be an ace with any man. Harrumph.

And as soon as we arrived at the house, we dropped our bags and left for the park. No drink, no rest, no chat. Are we crazy or what?!

That’s what you do when you want to maximise holiday time!

So I finally got started on the Perth series. *pat my own back*
