Internet down on day off departure - tried to confirm flight with reception (BGH) and told no need to. Packed (I was 15 kilos over ) and got to airport only to be told there that the flight was not leaving tonight (11pm) and that they did not know much at all. Soon told that we should be getting a flight at 9am next morning to Melb - transfered slowly to Ramada and given $20 to spend on food, phone calls etc. (used up pretty fast once you call for about 4 mins). So I called Virgin and booked another flight from Mel to Cool (could not cancel other one as too late :( and next morning told that some people made to first flight but not us!! We leave that night and also - get this - off to Sydney!! So another flight to be booked (thank God for the invention of Credit cards!!) after fighting about the bill....(another story...wait till JBR - I've had no sleep and that's I'm waffling....and sharing my boring story..) waiting here for flight. Anyway off to board and will finally see children and everything will be alright !!! PS 15 kilos over !!! got charge for 8 kilos ($120) and with Virgin Blue got charged $30.00 for up to 15 kilos over...big difference.....cheers xxxx
