A funny thing happened on the way to...

Less than 12 hours into our journey and we had our first "catastrophe". Waiting at Singapore airport for our flight to KL and we realised that we had left our waist pouch on the plane - containing our credit cards and camera.....

I wasnt sure when the plane was due to take off again and was quite panicked about getting back to the gate to check our seats.

Luke and I raced back through the terminal - atleast a kilometre long - and finally found the gate that we had exited the plane through. Luckily the plane had not taken off.

We asked a security guard for some help and he sent us off to the check in counter... we waited in line and eventually spoke to someone that reassured us that the plane would not be taking off again for a couple of hours and so they had plenty of time for a search.

I then had to wait in another line to speak to a customer service rep. who organised another person to go and look on the plane. She told us to come back in 1/2 hour.

I wasnt sure that anything was actually going to get done - but to my relief when we arrived back at the counter the smiling lady handed us our much missed pouch with everyting in tact.

She then told us to high tail it back to the departure gate as our next plane was due to leave soon and they would not hold the plane for us.

All this time DAvid and Jordan had been sweating it at the departure lounge - not knowing what was going on.

Luke and I raced up the corridor with the pouch waving over our heads - much to David's relief.

Catastrophy averted - phew
