hi everyone
i received the anticipated sms at 2.30am melbourne time. i woke read sms from son that he had arrived in LA (AMERICA) i went straight to sleep. in the morning initially i couldnt find the text message so i for an instant was confused. did i dream it?
but then i found text in my phone. such relief. technology is great he has overseas roaming so no fumbling for coins or money exchange. he is tired but what do you expect. we all only got 3 hours of sleep all worried we would sleep in and he would miss his flight.
when i got to work yesterday afternoon (i hadnt listened to any news) someone told me there was a blackout at tullamarine (melbourne airport).
but i assumed they got to sydney ok for their international transit flight otherwise he would have called me earlier.
so it was just as well that they had left an a very early morning flight otherwise the delays would have been chaotic.
not sure of the exact number of them all flying but their are about 4 soccer teams two are under 13s and under 14s and some parents the 4 coaches 4 team managers and the organizers. so you see what i mean about chaos!!!
but luck was on their side or maybe their airline knew or something because they were origionally going to fly out today (friday) but the airline changed it to thursday and gave them a free night accomodation at LA so what a bonus.
keep you updated
cheers annie
