5am. Wake up.
6am. Leave hotel for airport. Taxi cost F$30.
645am. Taxi arrives at Suva airport. Argue with driver about a receipt.
700am. Finally got driver to issue a receipt.
710am. Got my boarding pass for flight to Nadi, but airline refuse to transfer my luggage all the way to Singapore. Ugh!
730am. Plane (ATR42-500) noisily starts its propellars and we are OUTTA here!
800am. Land at Nadi. Claim my baggage. Lug it to counter and stupidly forget to ask for an aisle seat. Grr! 4 hour flight! Double check to see if luggage will NOW go straight to Singapore. Yes!
9am. Flight leaves. I base the last two copies of Times. Encounter the new Kindle. I want one.
11.45am. Plane lands in Sydney at last. Still contemplating the Kindle.
1200pm. Wandered a bit, trying to remember where the damn lounge is. All airports (almost) look the same. Ah hah! I need to take a shuttle to the other wing!
1215pm. On shuttle. The guards seem more excited about the A380 than me. They insist the shuttle driver point it out to me on the way. Other passengers are giggling way too loudly.
1235pm. In lounge at last. Got my last boarding pass issued. Asked for an aisle seat, got mocked. Its an A380, dahling. They are ALL aisle seats. Duh. I have 3 hours to kill before the next 7 hour flight. Soon, very sooooooon.
