Brisbane Trip

Brisbane Day 1 - Transit

After a little under 12 months in the travel no fly zone thanks to our wedding (and the planning of) we are finally back on track.

A couple of weeks ago we decided we'd had enough of the wettest Perth winters since 1996 (good for the dams, bad for cabin fever) and decided to do something about it. Queensland seemed like a good idea since that weather is always nice there at this time of year & we could spend some time with my parents who live in Brisbane & haven't seen much of since leaving for Canada.
We booked the flights only 4 days out and paid the price for it literally. I only gave work 2 days notice but they didn't seem to care & the boss never knew I was gone.

We flew out late morning Perth time & landed in Brisbane early afternoon where my Dad was waiting to pick us up. Heading East is was a fairly short flight (about 4.20 hrs) thanks to the trade winds. That night was a bit of a catch up with my folks & kick back.
