Queensland 2016 - Day 1

We had a pretty civilised start for Friday morning - waking up at around 6am (although I woke up at around 4am on account of me being completely retarded).  Had a little bit of breakfast at the airport.

When we arrived I wondered if we'd be there to see the arrival of SQ291, in much better weather than the first time I saw it.  I followed it across New South Wales on Plane Finder and we were sitting on our plane when it landed!  Pretty exciting!

9V-SQN

Had a seat on the left of the plane, so had a lovely view of Canberra in the morning sun as we took off, and we even came in from the south at Brisbane, which meant we had a good view of Brisbane as well - score!

Picked up the car then headed out to Chay and David's (we took the scenic route past Stu's old flat and through the city).

David couldn't get the day off, so we took Chay out to Orion and we had some sushi for lunch.

Didn't do much in the afternoon, just hung out and chatted.  Although Kailyn and Chay and I did play a couple of games of Blokus and a couple of games of Carcasonne.

Had roast chicken for dinner and watched The Big Short in the evening.  I enjoyed watching the movie again, as the first time through I struggled to understand who all the players were.  So probably got a bit more out of it the second time.

Then a relatively early night.
