Qantas has had mega sales on this week for travel from the USA to Australia.
One of my greatest ever fears about moving over here to live is that Collingwood would make it to the Grand Final and I would be stuck here.
My thinking is, I’d rather be there and see us lose rather than be here and we win. I don’t think I could ever live with myself if I didn’t go. That prompted me to book a just-in-case flight to Melbourne for Grand Final week. Woohoo!
I have timed it so that even if we lose the Preliminary Final, I can still reschedule it for another time when I could spend longer than a week there.
I encourage you all to barrack hard for the Pies this year because if we make it, I will be able to eat a Chiko Roll and have a Big M… which I miss so badly at the moment.
Basically the time frame is, I would fly out of NY on the Saturday and arrive in Melbourne on the Monday and then leave Melbourne the following Monday.
A Collingwood gal has gotta do what a Collingwood gal has to do and this needs to happen once again –
Note – As you can see I have left out all mention of the NAB Cup Grand Final because as we like to point out when we lose such a match.. “It is only a practice match!”
