Turkey2 Terrigal

Yep the title says it all. Sitting at the lounge awaiting our boarding, when we get on we are surprised. We have left it til last to have the tightest, cramped and claustrophobic seating for our longest flight leg. Only one foot can fit with comfort under the seat in front while the other is jammed against the backrest. We are late taking off as a family are arguing over the seating because one is separate from the others. After several arguments and seating changes finally they are all settled and the 25-30 year old is with someone they know. So all settled and we are gone, cramped, crap food and a couple of screaming kids!!!!!! Hurry up Singapore.
All settled down after a couple of hours, kids settled, the smelly ones stayed in their seats, I had a routine on rotating my legs and Leanne sort of found a compromise of comfort to get about 2 hours of dozing, if that. Not too many dunny runs as one was broken before we took off so the other ran out of paper well into the flight. Had a bit of turbulence near Nepal, enough that they suspended the cleaning up of the trays til it all settled.
Finally we are in Singapore and after a quick trip to the transfer desk to get our next boarding pass we head straight for the transit hotel. Book in and straight for the shower, we have 2 hrs before our next boarding so time for some shut eye.
OK who took my hour fortyfive, I cant believe I just put my head down and I'm getting up to start up again. We feel tired but better, it was worth every cent. We are bumped on to a QANTAS flight. how ironic, first time flying on our nations carrier and I bought the ticket with British Airways. Its like first class after Turkish Airlines as we settle down for our 7 hour flight home. how good is this, after landing and waiting an Egyptian minute for our bags, second longest for our trip. We then line up for Immigration, the longest and unorganised part of our trip to clear customs. Oh but it gets better, we find our transfer and wait, and wait and wait and wait. We finally have the rest of the party and its 8:45, we were clear at 6:45!!!! But no, they want the driver to wait for another flight. After ten minutes more we are into the traffic, this is after the driver off loaded the other passenger to another transfer, god bless him.
Ahhh home, no kids to help with the bags upstairs. Must be going to surprise us, with half the street blocked with their cars we would never guess. Yep they wait til I have bought both bags to the top of the stairs before they make their SURPRISE appearance. Balloons and a "welcome home " banner, you would think they actually missed us.
Unpacking was fairly easy, all clothes are put into the wash pile, papers straight to the bin and souvenirs into waiting hands. Pizza for dinner then show a few pictures then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
