Sydney Trip - Day 10
Mama:
Rush day today. Joash went to K-mart Hornsby to exchange the quicksmart stroller, because the one we bought in Bondi Junction had wobbly handles. The weird thing was that K-mart Hornsby priced the stroller at $79 buck (I thought all K-marts prices are the same?) and even gave Joash a discount. The price went down to $69 bucks. Not only we got a new stroller, we got the difference back too !!!! How weird can it be ?!
Wanted to return the baby carseat to Lorri and meet up with her before we go off. So we asked Lyndon to drive us to Eastwood. Meet up with Lorri and had lunch at Eastwood. Had my last bowl of good Vietnamese food in Sydney. I am going to miss it lots.
The flight back was not as smooth as the flight to Sydney.
Firstly, one piece of our luggage was overweight. The safety regulations in Australia only allow 32KG max per piece of luggage. Our big luggage is already 39KG. Sigh.....had to open up the luggage in public and repack some of the heavier stuff (namely Only Organic baby food jars) to the smaller bag.
Secondly, the lady at the check in counter said that she cannot book my seat next to Joash and Cayden cos the flight was packed. There were two choices (how nice ?!) : either Joash sit with Cayden in the bulkhead seat and I sit couple of rows behind...OR ....we forgo the bulkhead seat and all the three of us will sit together. I chose the latter...
Thirdly, Cayden was fussing already while we were boarding the airplane.
BUT...........................
When we boarded the plane, Qantas managed to arrange us to sit together at the bulkseat, which was great.
Just before take-off, Cayden dozed off to sleep while eating the teething rusks. Phew !!!
Shortly after take-off, the air stewardess asked us whether we mind moving to another bulkhead seat because of some complicated long reasons. Anyway, we moved....and wow....I was glad we moved.....cos we got FIRST CLASS SERVICE after that. The air stewardess made sure we were comfortable. She would serve us dinner first...and we got refreshments from business/first class. She even gave us a bottle of white wine and L'occtance travel pack to make up for the change of seat. Not bad !!! But enough said, I still will think twice about traveling with Cayden on Qantas.
Only managed to sleep at 1am after making sure Cayden was cleaned and had changed out of his dirty clothes.....but he woke up at 4am this morning screaming for milk because it was 7am Sydney time. JETLAG !!!

was it tough bringing a little one out?
I was quite worried abt not being able to handle Ethyl!
it was not that tough....but the schedule has to work around the little one.
make sure Ethyl has enuff sleep...and bring her fav toys/books along.....and also bring lots of snacks.....all different kinds.....
i find it pretty useful...hahhaa....whine abit ....stuff food into C's hand....
actaully..the worst is on the flight...cos the space is so limited..and you dun want your baby to make too much noise......
