It’s been a long time between travels!

After spending the morning working, Kaoru and I caught an uber to the airport, and off we flew to Brisbane!

The airport was very quiet, with not a lot of travellers. Security was simple and quick to get through. Kaoru had made us some lunch, so we bought some champagne and beer, and ate in a quiet corner of the airport to pass the time, while also checking our “Check In Qld” apps were working.

The flight was uneventful. The plane was probably 2/3 full, and most people (that I could see) were wearing masks as required.

We landed about 15 minutes late, but our bag came out quickly, and we were picked up by Aunty Linda and Uncle Owen. We went to their house, dropped our bag off, and then I was taken in to see Nanna at her new home. Only one visitor, for one hour per day, was allowed, so Aunty Linda visited another person she knew in the same home, while Uncle Owen took Kaoru shopping.

The hour with Nanna flew. She couldn’t hear too well, so I had to talk loudly, but it was nice seeing her again after so long. Eventually I had to leave, met up with Aunty Linda, and waited for Uncle Owen and Kaoru to pick us up.

Back at the house, Shannon was already home and came outside to greet us. We talked and passed the time until dinner. And then more talking, until going to bed.
