IT WAS VERY VERY VERY EXCITING!!!

We had suitcases packed, driven the five hours to Melbourne and with much excitement we arrived at the airport only to find that when you travel "Tiger"our newest economy airline there are definitely no frills but you do get a 500m dash to their check in area which is quite separate from the main area, not undercover, dodge traffic and hope it doesn't rain! But when you fly from one end of the country to almost the other end for $55 you can not complain (out loud anyway)!

Our little one asked several times: "Are you excited?!"

She was and we were too.

Here we are in line on the tarmac, with cover this time waiting to board our "Tiger".

And here's our Tiger welcoming us aboard but not before I almost had my camera confiscated for taking this photo on the tarmac. Haven't worked out if it was for national security or if my amazingly powerful flash would bring down a plane!! Can someone let me know?
