Day 2 (11 March): On this day, we fly!

In 33 days, we will be getting up from our bed at Sydney Airport at 3am for a 3.30am check in, and then hitting the Emirates Business Lounge from 4am. Is this the most exciting part of the trip? I doubt it, but it’s a mighty good way to start!

Our flight leaves at 6am, which is when the Sydney Airport curfew lifts. We will be nicely settled in to our business class seats… is 6am too early to start with a champagne?

Our digs for the way there

11 March will continue for a long time for us, which is good because it’s our wedding anniversary. On this day, we will experience a little of three world cities - Sydney, Dubai and London. We land in London at 6pm local time, and the average temperature in London on 11 March is 6ºC, so we’ll be glad we put our warm coats in our carryon!

We will make our way to the Westminster London, right in the heart. Can’t wait to see what London has in store for us!
