My First Call Out

My first call out from standby was to Perth. It was great to be going back again. The flights had only 60 economy passengers each way in a cabin that holds up to 250 so it was a very easy service. I managed to get 4 hours sleep in a Business Class seat on the way back. While I was in Perth I managed to do some catching up with family and friends. First stop of the day was the ferry terminal in Fremantle to surprise my stepmum as she came off the ferry from Rottnest Island to go to work. Unfortunately she was working on the island that day so I ended up being sat alone with two coffees! Hopefully I'm going to see her and the rest of the family in Singapore later this month. I also managed to have a chat with my new friend/avid blog reader Bardia. It's a lot cheaper to call him in Melbourne from Australia than Dubai! He's going to be on one of my flights later this month so look out for a picture of him soon. :-) Next I travelled down to Pinjarra (the town where I grew up) to see my Nanna & Grandad. We had a nice lunch and a walk around the town. I also popped down the road for an hour to see my mum's friend Sadie who lived across the road from us when we were young. After that it was time to catch the train back to Perth and I invited my Aunty and cousin to the hotel for dinner. The food in the hotel restaurant was excellent and I can't wait to go back again. I had Kangeroo! After all the day's excitement it was time for bed and I managed to get 6 hours sleep before the flight. Now all I need is another Manchester so I can see the rest of the family!
