Fog wasn't it?

Yep, fog: http://www.australianfrequentflyer....ly-off-topic-thread-6220-1136.html#post838273

Lol. Must read thread more carefully. (Facepalm motion)

To think I chose the name of a building when it could have been a magazine showing me how to wear a bikini.
My flight this morning is scheduled at 9.30am and I have not heard any flights in the last 20 minutes. It looks like a pea soup fog so the airport may be quite crazy this morning with flight delays.
Princess Fiona your after midnight red eye is looking just a bit doubtful. Is this a message that Perth needs you!
Ah going off at after 3am is almost not a red eye. Good thinking on the champagne.

Just heard a plane go at 5.40 am out of Perth so maybe the fog is easing.

I heard a plane as well, seems like Perth is where it is all happening.

Cove if your flight is at 9:30am what were you doing up so early.

A lfew scattered showers here in a warm and humid Orlando - at MCO Embassy Suites manager's reception at the bar where the entire ground floor is ringing with the crays of extremely hyperactive kids running on what I presume is theme park adrenalin, if not Cola.

Had a nice drive up from FLL today to get here.

Bundy Bear when you are over 60 sleeping less at night is a by product of a male's age.
My Adelaide flight is now going an hour later so getting up at 4am was not such a great idea.
Quicksilver pick up is now later as Qantas is not letting folks upstairs as it is too full up there.

Checked an outlet out on the way up, at st pursue bay. Nice prices, especially a robot vac, even at $0.95 exchange rate. Not enough room with HLO - delivery was not available.

And Sydney has been perfect this weekend.

Heading up your way again on Saturday. Playing golf at Bribie Island so hopefully not too much more rain. I am so over the inconsistent weather north.

Glad I don't live at Cathedral Place in Fortitude valley or I would be wondering if I left the iron on! 8 units destroyed.

"Queensland fire service and all the police services have performed very efficiently and they've all been 10 out of 10 in making sure everybody's safe, which is the most important thing," he told 612 ABC Brisbane.

Glad to see the firies were very efficient it's a block away from one of the bigger fire stations in Beisbane.

Fog in PER tonight...was lucky to get in on VA flight from Sydney I reckon. Pilot let us know before descent to prepare for a diversion to Melbourne....perils of living in Perth.

If I'd booked QF I'd be sleeping in Melbourne right now so I guess I was lucky in the end!

That is quite a diversion. :shock:

That is quite a diversion. :shock:

EK went to ADL and crew ran out of hours.

MrsCove is battling something that needs radiotherapy? Sending positive wishes to her.

 

[cove]

Thanks Pushka she has 12 shots to go and with QF Double Status Credits I have been trying to get her to Sydney or Melbourne every second weekend. All ok so far. Thanks for the positive thoughts!

 

[anat0l]

All the best to Mrs cove.

 

[Must...Fly!]

My best wishes for a speedy recovery for your loved one, cove.

That is quite a diversion. :shock:

Yeah, really is nothing in between. Only ADL but that would have been under curfew.

I did wonder why it took us absolutely forever to get off the ground in SYD...obviously the tanks were full!

She must be doing ok to be able to travel. I couldn't imagine my dad travelling much further than the hospital when he was doing the same.
