Monday 1a - Skullduggery

it all started on a great note...
flying to sydney early in the morning and finding our flight was delayed by three hours. so with time to burn in the airport we hatched the only sain and civilized plot to kick start the adventure - weazling our way into the qantas lounge. hehehe...we looked so funny, us colourful birds loitering out the front of the qantas lounge, all devious smiles, picking our likely suspects from the main traffic - business men. betty hitched a ride with a country singer/song writer on his way to nashville and lulu found a friendly old business man who was up for the challenge. oh boy did we come up with a good idea - free everything and with a view to make one's heart leap into one's throat; close-up planes landing on the tarmac from longhaul international flights. we were going to be up there soon - gulp~!
so three hours, many free pear vodka's later, all to the sound-track of betty's ipod pop, we left the lounge to start our boarding. because of the delay we were given a $15 food voucher each so we stuffed our sozzled arms full of fancy mueslie bars with poor breakfasts' in europe on our mind and boarded the flight to san francisco...
