And We're Off!

After a couple of hiccups in the last 24 hours due to Qatar Airways inputting Ethan's date of birth incorrectly and having to purchase a whole new full price ticket for him, we're finally at the airport, through customs and waiting to board!  We'll worry about trying to get our money refunded next week, or after we get home.


Everything is set up for our variety of house/pet sitters and hopefully the four legged members of the family will be having so much fun playing with their new friends that they won't even notice we've gone.


The last couple of times we've been on an overseas holiday the boys have completed a travel journal.  We couldn't find one we liked this time so have decided to keep a family blog instead.  Hopefully we'll print it as a photo book after we get home.  We just have to make sure we keep it up to date!  I'm hoping that we will all contribute.  Maybe we could each choose a colour to type in so everyone will know who has written what.  As is customary in our house, my colour will have to be pink.  I know no-one else will pinch my stuff if it's pink!


We should be boarding in 15 or 20 minutes.  First stop is Doha in Qatar.  24 hours of hot weather before we move on to London!  Time for a message from the junior Bensons...

I'm sitting on a uncomfortable chair being bored and I wish we could hurry up and get on the plane so that I can just go to sleep.

we're at the airport waiting for our boarding call and we have been waiting for nearly two hours. I'm looking forward to being in Doha and getting our trip started in the blazing hot then going to the freezing cold in London.
