The reason for our trip to Australia is almost here. We meet the homeowner and the pets tomorrow afternoon and assume caring responsibilities on Wednesday morning. Because we don’t like to tempt fate, we usually try to get as close to the housesit as possible the night before just to make sure there aren’t any travel hiccups.
This morning we left the hotel in Canberra a little before 11:00 am. We traveled by Uber to the airport, where we sadly learned that no check-in was possible until 90 minutes before the flight. We had a little over an hour wait to check-in. After that, things went smoothly, and we continued our journey to tonight’s hotel in Melbourne via plane, bus, and then tram. Bob researched all the details, so it made for an easy commute.
headed into the Southern Cross bus/train station in downtown Melbourne.
that we took out of the city center towards Wattle Park
which has been filled with airplane and hotel upgrades.
Being a Marriott club member has given us a lot of free perks,
including this surprise.
