I can’t believe that I am actually sitting here in Sydney Airport. That I am on my way to France to meet and live with a completely new family for three months. I have spent the last 6 months preparing for the moment. For the time where I have to wave goodbye to my amazing family (and Zoe) and head down the ramp to board a plane which eventually will fly me to Paris. Now that it’s actually happening it’s hard to believe. Even harder to comprehend is the fact that I will not see Mum, Dad, Bridget and Phoebe for a whole three months. Something that hadn't really sunk in before I did wave goodbye. I am going to miss them more then words can explain but as mum says “you can’t move forward without taking one foot off the ground”. When we were saying goodbye at the airport in Darwin we got some of the funniest looks. I am pretty sure everybody in the boarding line to Sydney were thinking "It's only Sydney. Get a grip!" On the plane from Darwin my row of seats didn't have a window and as far as I could tell we were the only people without one. Since when do plane eats not have windows!? When I arrived at Sydney airport, I was helped by a lovely women who helped me find the taxi rank. From there I speed, and I'm not joking it was like being back in Bali,to the International airport where I met up with 8 other exchange students with who I will travel to Paris. My plane to Abu Dhabi is beginning to board so I better say goodbye. I will write when I arrive at Abu Dhabi airport.
Yay Georgie! So glad you are in one piece and having fun already. Very quiet and lonely here without you but following you on the blog is going to be wonderful. Let me know if you'd like any spelling or grammar assistance dear (ahem!). Keep up the posts and remember all your loving mother's good advice. Love you, Mum
