GOODBYES ARE ALWAYS HARD......

With less than 15 hours until Pete flies out, we were very happy to spend some one of one time with him...
His time home had been very very hectic....
After we saw the girls off we headed to the nearest Macca's near the International Airport for Pete to grab a bit to eat and grab a coffee..
It was nice to have this time with him...
We must have sat there for a good couple of hours just chatting..
Chatting about the wedding,  the guest lists,  our trip over, buying their apartment... pretty special times.... Pete had to have the car back at the Rental company by mid day so I think we left around 11.30pm to return it....
Pete was a little emotional today....
I think it was hard the girls leaving without him....
I think it would have been easier on him if he had been able to travel back with them, as it was a long long trip to be making on your own when you were feeling quite homesick for home and family.
I tried so hard not to get upset as I didn't want him to feel any worse, but it was a very hard day...

We grabbed some lunch...
He wanted hot chook on Aussie white breadrolls... somehow it just not the same in Denmark...
We came home to have lunch and relax, and I am sad to say that I fell asleep in the lounge and slept for a couple of hours.  So cranky with myself as I didn't want to waste anytime whilst Pete was around...

I was tired though,  it had been after midnight the night before before we had all got to bed and we needed to be up at 5.30am to get to the airport on time for Maria to be able to get a seat where she had extended room for her sore leg...

Later in the afternoon we headed into Garden City as Pete wanted to buy a couple of things before going back,  eg. rubber thongs, and shorts.... Can't get them in Copenhagen at the moment because it is extremely cold....
Again we sat down and grabbed a coffee and had another chat..
Pete decided that he wanted a Pizza Capers pizza for dinner...
Copenhagen does not do do Pizza like Australia so that was something else he wanted to have before heading back....

I think we were all a little quiet on Monday night...
We at least all managed to have dinner together.  Colin was home too, so it was nice to all be together for Pete's last night at home......
We left for the airport at midnight...
2.30am flights suck......

Tea and googling.... before he leaves... messages for the girls...
 Feeling a little sad as Pete filled out his declaration forms to travel....
I always consider him to be a resident of Australia...
This time he had to fill it out as being a visitor to Australia...
Made me a little sad to think about that....
Farewell cuddle....
 Have to wait a good six months for more of these....
At least it is not two years now though like last time....
Pete with his Dad...
 There have been numerous times these holidays, where both Pete and Steve have been out where put has just put his arm around Steve's shoulder... This bond melts my heart....  just wish I had a camera on me at the time to capture it....
Last farewell hug for his dad.
 Christmas time at the airport....
Lovely lit up Christmas tree.... a special time of year at airports where loved ones come and go...
love that  big boy of mine
Heading to the departure lounge,  also leaves a knot in your gut....
It kind of means that the things that you have looked forward to for so long have come and gone...
He is leaving...

 Heading down the escalators...
Our final way..
 Now the planning begins for our trip over for the wedding....
