We had a lovely dinner last night and everyone was in good spirits so that was great. No one wanted a particularly late night as we had to be ready for our transport to the airport at 8.15 am. I was very surprised in the morning that most were already at breakfast by the time I got there at 7 am. Our transport arrived right on time, and as usual I had to go looking for my big, slow and loud kitten. Then while I go looking for her I left everyone else on the coach remembering to hand in room keys and think whether they have left any thing in their rooms, and that their cases are in the trailer. No sooner had I gone looking for BSL and demented kitten wondered if her suitcase was on the trailer, so one of the other kittens went looking for it and found it left at reception. Just as well I wasn’t there at the time, as I really would have made her go and get it herself. Some of them truly need full time careers!
A short drive to the airport and I get us all booked in. We had over an hour wait, but all were in good spirits so the time passed quickly. One of the kittens asked me to remind BSL kitten to use the bathroom before we boarded. I had already planned on giving them all a 15 minute warning prior to boarding as most of kittens have very weak bladders as I’ve found out the hard way, so told her that I had it all under control. She assured me she didn’t need to use the loo, but was frustrated with always waiting for BLS kitten who left things to the last minute and so was always last as she was also so slow. Well knock me down with a feather, when we are all starting to board, guess who has to race off to the toilet and was therefore last of our group to board? I never said a word to her, but she wouldn’t give me eye contact when finally boarding. They are such a funny little gaggle.
We had a bit over two hours before our Adelaide flight so plenty of time for something to eat, drink and ablutions. We are now all currently waiting at our gate ready to board, and I’m feeding them all lolly snakes.
They have each said they have had a great holiday and are giving me all these ideas of where they want to go next year. I haven’t the heart to tell, them that they will be someone else’s responsibility by then....
Footnote:
All arrived safely home and sent off to their respective lodgings. Lots of hugs and claims of 'great holiday' so I deem the whole operation a success. And being back home with reasonable internet, I have been able to update each day's ramblings with photos!
You certainly gave all those kittens a great time (even BLS) and they couldn’t have a better or more patient tour director than you how lucky are they!!!!! Hope all got home ok and no more dramas to deal with and know the snakes would have been a bonus to all. Well done, you!!!!😊👍😎
