Off we go!

Here we are at Newcastle airport, we've checked in our bags and now have an hour and a half to wait for the flight to Dubai.
It's a bit boring but a bit exciting at the same time!  Rosie the dog is having fun too.

We're one step closer on our big trip! Yay!
We will arrive in Auckland (via Dubai and Perth) at about 7pm UK time on Friday night so there's a long way to go.  Can't wait to get the travelling done and be in New Zealand.

Here's the view from the departure lounge...of an Emirates plane...could be ours!
