She's in her comfy clothes for flying...

Farewell hugs from friends... (Gaaaabe)

Ooh, I hope I packed everything!

Added: After leaving South Australia at 11am, flying out of Melbourne at 9.30pm on Thursday 23rd, I got a text message at 2.11am Sat morning saying she was finally in Turin, on a bus headed to meet their host families, Friday evening, Turin time. Let the fun begin...
