Tullamarine had been cancelled which caused a change of planes for the next flight to accommodate the extra passengers and a change of gates. It took ages to load, we were delayed taking off and it took ages to unload in Sydney. It was like an international flight. The delay then caused me to nearly miss the connecting flight to Coffs. They were calling my name as I struggled to find the gate. As I started to run I lost my favourite red scarf and only noticed when I was about to go through the gate. I dumped my bag and retraced my steps to locate my scarf, fortunately only round the corner. Back I came to walk out onto the Tarmac where the flight attendant said my bag probably wouldn't fit in the cabin. She tagged it and gave it to the baggage handling. No extra security.
The flight was pleasant but I suffered severe ear blocking. I was met by the ALIA representative Judy,Brooker who is coordinating the accreditation panel I'm on. Our hire car had a deflating tyre and Judy started to have a nose bleed. A good start!
We drove into Coffs changed cars and proceeded to the Novatel. It is a resort with two huge pools, a golf course, restaurant and lake. It is rather nice. Hopefully I will get a chance to walk around and see the beach. We lunched and got to work reviewing our notes. After a brief break it was back to the meeting and then dinner.
