Day 1 - Tues 12th September - Melbourne to Singapore

Very organised this trip, we had everything ready for days with just last minute things to add to the cases before we left the house. Of course it was raining in the morning while we walked the short distance to Turtle Cafe (which is actually closed for renovations to open as "A Girl Called Jayne" ) to catch the Skybus and it stopped shortly after we arrived at the stop and had a sunny ride to the airport. New departure procedures easy without forms to fill out. Flight left on time at 3.40pm and went remarkably quickly with 2 movies for me (Beauty & the Beast and Hidden Figures - both great), some reading and food and drinks (Singapore Sling of course to start the journey for me).
