We got away from Glendale @ 1:45pm and had a wet but uneventful trip straight through to Mascot. We drove straight to the Parking Station and were taken across to Terminal 2. Plenty of time for something to eat and a coffee before the flight to Melbourne and then Launceston.
To entertain themselves, Emma and Luke found a vending machine (chocolates) with a $2 coin stuck in the slot. Others followed trying to stuff more coins in the same slot. Same result . . . .
The Virgin Blue 767 had video screens in the backs of the seats (first time experience for all of us). Unfortuntately the company wants people to pay to use it so shortly after we had taken off the multiple Pay TV channels were switched off leaving us with Virgin Blue advertising and a map channel for us to watch the flight's progress as we approached Melbourne.
A short stop at Tullamarine and we were off again (this time in a much smaller 737) and were across Bass Straight and landed in Launceston in under an hour.
Phil was there to meet us with two cars (this piece of magic has yet to be explained. We finally arrived in Riverside a bit after 10.30pm.
