I’m off to Brisbane for three days.
It turns out the Taxi company doesn’t want to cooperate though - 4:45AM comes and goes - No taxi. Call the Taxi Company: “Oh, it’s booked for 5:45…” Me: “Right, well… that’s not going to do it for me, I’ll have to get a lift.”
*rolls eyes*
Update, Thursday Morning: Well… The flight up was ok, just… noisy (De Hellier DCH-8 300 Series - i.e twin-prop). They have more legroom, which is great — My knees didn’t even touch the back of the other seat. *gasp* The hotel doesn’t have wifi, which sucks - so I’m down at McD’s using the Telstra wifi here. Also, Brisbane is too damn hot - it was 36-ish yesterday, and didn’t get anywhere close to being considered “ok” temperatures until 3-4AM. It’s overcast, muggy and still warm today - crazy place! Ohwell, off to work now…
Update, Friday Lunch time: Been busy as heck - just about to go back to the Airport to fly back home. It’ll be good to get back home.

You should try and organise that scenario on a DAILY basis. Yes, I know, it should be easier on a regular programme, but it rarely is!!! The thing we need to keep in mind is that they operate a taxi switch board for a reason. If they were more intelligent they wouldn’t be operating a taxi switchboard, they’d a be a brain surgeon or similar.
