After a sleepless night I arised at 6am. Nervous and excited I prepared and gathered myself for the day ahead. The weather for the day was to be sunny and warm with a high of 28 degrees Celsius. Alan's flight was due at 7.30am. Alan had mentioned not to be at the Airport too early as he didn't want me to wait too long waiting while he came through customs. It is only a 15 to 20 minute drive for me. I arrived at 7.45. I had just parked my car when Alan rings. I am late lol. He has already passed through customs and he is panicking because he has no idea where he is and how to get out. I have never been through the International Airport before (Alan does not know this). I find my way to International arrivals and a sea of people......... what the? I have no idea where to start to look. Thank goodness for modern technology and mobile phones. Alan is outside catching up on all the smokes he has missed in the last 24 hours. He spots me before I can see him due to I am standing alone and looking in every other direction other than Alan's. When I am finally facing in the right direction due to Alan's instuctions I see his head bop up (he used his suitcase to look over the crowd) and I dropped my phone (which was fortunately hanging around my neck) and I run and just grab him so tightly he can't breath.

Alan opening champagne and my first live photo yipeeeeee |
At 9.30am we went to a park and had a champagne breakfast and ........?????? The lawn mowers went round us (get your minds out of the gutter).
After breakfast we made our way to our first place of stay the Ellerslie B&B ...... ahemmm will leave the rest to your own imaginations................................................
Our room at the B & B is very nice with it's own bathroom. We have a nice veranda area with seating to sit out at night and enjoy the mild or cold nights whatever melbourne decides to do.
In the evening we went to watch the harness racing at tabcorp park ....Alan picked 2 winners but didn't bet then he bet on last race and lost PML UNBELIEVABLE.................
