I was being told that there is flight promotion and Jetstar flight to Adelaide was only $89. But after adding this and that, service fees and insurance, it totaled about $113. The flight was on Thursday and I only start packing on Tuesday midnight/Wednesday morning. Is my first time travelling alone to a foreign state in a foreign country. Right after my Adelaide visit, I will be travelling off to Alice Spring for an outback adventure. So the whole packing process isnt easy (to me). I have to grab my sleeping bag, insect repellent, hat, sunscreen and also start worrying about the liquid limitation (which I just cleared about after the trip LOL). Oh, did I not mentioned that I have not do any of the research yet? I did the research (on where to visit/eat/tour) at the same time I was packing my luggage/backpack.
A few days prior the flight, I only realized that the flight departs at 0645, I then realized that I might need to overnight at the airport @.@ I am actually nervous yet excited. I was wondering should I just make it an adventure or shall I play safe? I ended up put up with my nervousness and overnight at one of friends house in city. My friend's mom was worried about my safety and volunteered to drive me to airport. I felt bad about it, especially we only slept for 2-3 hours. (We have been chatting all night long...)
After checking in airport using mobile (I feel so 'ulu' haha, first time using technology gadget to check it XDXD), I had my most expensive breakfast in the airport and off I go!!!
I am so blur when I arrived, not sure what I should do to hop on bus, where should I get the ticket, where is the bus stop? Blindly heading to the airport entrance, saw the familiar bus number (which I checked on Google map), and just off I go! From Adelaide Info Centre website, it state that interstate full time student can obtain confession ticket by applying at the centre itself. I am really glad to know that, after spending so much on Sydney transportation expense. So once I arrived, the first thing I thought is to faster apply for the temporary concession ticket. I took all the hassle to reach to the Info Centre but the officer said
Well, to get this temporary concession card, we need your letter from your uni stating that how long you will be staying here and what is your purpose...we need to take a photo of you and you need to pay $10 for processing fees.... it will take few days to process....=.= Why dont they just post it on the website at the first place? By the time I applied and got the card, I dont think I even get to use it because I fly off already... Forget about this! Let the adventure begins XDXD
Ohoh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I really thinks that I could skype with you on your birthday... but my prompt decisions made me fly off during your birthday ^o^" I shall get you lots of picture for your birthday~~
