My flight was long, over 30 hours of traveling, but happened without any major quirks or bumps. It went very smoothly. It was funny because I was in a secluded terminal and was going through pictures on my computer when all of a sudden I heard my name called over the intercom. This has never happened to me before and I quickly gathered my bags and wheeled the cart towards the Quantas desk between gate 79 and 80. All sorts of thoughts flooded my mind in this short 2 minute walk . . did Simon change his mind, did they find another error in my passport, did I space on the time and miss my flight? I approached the guy at the counter and he had been expecting me. "Oh, there is someone here to see you, I've forgotten their name, but hold on I get them on the line for you." he casually said as my heart was trying to bump it's way out of my chest. It seemed to take forever as he apologized for the difficulties they were having with the system today. Finally I got through and it was my friend Amanda! She had arranged to have off her afternoon shift and quickly drove two hours to surprise me at the airport only find that I had already gone through the gate. She had even brought me some peanuts as a special parting gift. We got to say goodbye through a wire fence with her on the top floor and be below. It wasn't a long goodbye given everyone around us was included in our conversation. It was so sweet of her to go out of her way like that. Later on during our boarding process I was almost up to the front of the line when I heard again the intercom come on and my name was announced again! I made my way to the counter and there was a woman holding the bag of peanuts for me. She has brought them down for me since Amanda and I didn't get to see each other in person. The rest of my flights were pretty uneventful after this.
