The Best Laid Plans ....

I should have known there would be a hiccup somewhere along the line. Liz reckons it's an omen ... she stubbed her toe last night and thought it was broken and then when I checked the flight departures last night and saw that yesterdays MH122 flight had been delayed until this morning, I knew there would be a flow-on effect.

So this morning I called Malaysian Airlines to confirm the flight and sure enough, our 747 has a problem and instead of departing Sydney at 2:20pm it's gonna be 8:00pm tonight ... a delay of 6 hours.

Of course, that means we miss our connection out of KL to Bangalore so we've been re-booked on that flight for Sunday night, 24 hours later. In the meantime we don't arrive in KL until the ungodly hour of 2:45am and the airline will put us up at a hotel overnight and we spend a day in KL and fly out to Bangalore Sunday night.

Well it gave us a chance to catch up on some chores and not rush, but it's a disappointment all the same.

So, all being well. we're on our way tonight. So stay tuned.
