We got to the airport on time, reached check-in no problems. What could go wrong?! The guy behind the check-in desk asking me why my details had 'refuse travel' written on them!!!! Turns out my lovely travel agent hadnt bothered processing my visa after all! (This is after I confirmed and reconfirmed with her). Anyway, it turns out I could just buy one at the airport so luckily crisis was averted! (I'm still calming down before I write a letter of complaint! - I still need to get tour tickets out of her and my flight to New York!) Left me feeling a little shaken though so luckily we were able to put to good use Ben's present of tickets to a special departure lounge. After a stressful start, we waited til a respectable time to have a drink... and there was only one it could be... A Singapore Sling for Singapore Airlines!
33 hours later we arrived in Brisbane.
