Oliver and I are going to Melbourne today.
I haven't seen my Grandpa for a while, as he wasn't able to make it to Sam's funeral, so I have been very keen to get down there and see him. My mum's 5 brothers and sisters are down there too, so we will hopefully be very busy while we are there.
I would have liked it if Anthony could come, but he's busy doing our renovations. And when it comes down to it, it's my family, so I don't really mind.
It will be Ollie's first time in a plane (I wasn't going to drive down there if it's just the two of us - it's a very long way!), so I decided to make it an adventure for him.
I've booked us on Qantas, because they do little snacks and stuff, and will hopefully make him feel a little special. And I've bought him a couple of magazines and colouring books.
At first when I mentioned it, he said 'I'm not getting on a plane', but he changed his mind and we booked it. Last night he said he was a bit nervous, so hopefully he won't get upset or anything.
Well, I haven't finished packing, so off I go. I will post while we're down there.
Have fun! I am sure that Olley will love the plane. You are right the drive is far too long when you are the only driver - done it a few times.
